    First Ride of the Year

    We were blessed today to hit the mid 60's so Emma and I spent the afternoon on the Rocket. I just brought her home Friday after having Avon Cobra Chromes installed. Totally different bike on these tires. It is like riding on a rail. I love it. This picture is taken at Prophet Rock outside...

    It should be a simple question?

    I am ready for an oil change and I have nothing against the Castrol 10W50, but I have always run AMSOil in my bikes and am thinking I should be fine running 10W40 in the bike. The AMSOil has always done well with transmissions. Anyone running similar or should I stick with the recommended Castrol?

    Melancholy Winter Thoughts

    I love to ride and love to get lost for a few days on the bike, but my focus is never how many miles I ride. I find the best days are the ones I get lost in the road. I get up a couple days into the ride and put on the same pair of jeans I stood in the corner the night before and a fresh tee...

    Viking Battery Maintainer from Harbor Freight

    I pulled the batteries from the bikes last weekend and placed them on the Schumacher Battery tenders I like to use. They are 1.5 amp and have performed well over the years. Since Chris's accident his car has been sitting for over a year. I get out and drive it once a month or so, but every...

    First Impression

    OK I only got to sit on her for a minute, but OMG the balance on this bike is incredible and she is lite. I mean I leaned her over far enough that I would not have been able to recover my R3T. This really scared me. People are going to get on this thing and not respect the power. On the...

    American Moto Tire

    Just wanted to give a shout out to American Moto Tire. I ordered a new set of Avon Chromes for my R3T over the Labor Day weekend. I paid $378.00 with free shipping. Avon is offering a $60.00 rebate for both front and back. Thought $318.00 was a great deal so I a not going Darkside yet. I got...

    Service Manuals for Rockets?

    I have the workshop manual for the Rocket, but it seems to lack detail. I am looking at what else is available and found this one. Anyone have this and does it give more instruction on performing tasks? Triumph Rocket 3 Workshop Service Repair Manual

    Rattle Rattle Rattle

    While riding yesterday I hear Rattle Rattle Rattle. It seems like keeping up with rattles is almost as bad as waxing a chain every 200 miles. I am going to start going through the bolts again. Now I am not one to over torque things. Thinking a toothpick spot of blue locktite is needed to...

    Swap Meet this Past Weekend

    Went to a metric swap meet this past weekend. Funny I find the bikes at these events so much more honest than all the glitter at the big shows. I love it when the bike looks like someone just jumped off of it. It was not a big event, but the quality was awesome.
