    Just bought a 2008 Rocket

    Welcome from SE Tennessee. I have not been on the Dragon for years, (funny how when you live near, you don't go), but I think you will love your Rocket. Looks from the picture to be the Touring? As you can see from my avatar, my touring bike is my Indian, so obviously when I went Rocket...

    Thank You Russia

    Back in the 90's, I hosted a Russian student, and my son went over to St. Petersburg. The girl sat on the couch, watching a Memorial Day parade with all the flags, and some protesters. She said nothing like that would ever be allowed to happen in her country. I said that times change, give it...

    Another one bites the dust???

    I think there are regional changes going on, but will also admit that the MC industry overall is soft right now. But those dealers catering to the young and women seem to be doing the best. Us old guys may be able to write big checks, but we don't do it very often. Can't live off that. As far...

    New Rocket Prices

    When Victory died under the Polaris brand, some people thought it might become a collector's item, especially the Vision. Didn't happen, at least not yet. There were dealers about giving them away, couldn't get rid of them. But if Triumph is stopping production of the Rocket III, if 2018 is...

    New Rocket Prices

    They call themselves National Powersports Distributors. In New Hampshire. They do seem to have four Rocket III Roadsters in Phantom Black, new, for $11,999. Triumph website says that model starts around $15,700. All theirs has the red stripe, or at least if those are pics of the actual models...

    Is the R3 suitable for long distance ?

    So I'm giving up 42 HP and about 13 ft. lbs. of torque by selling off my Roadster and buying a Touring bike. Well, that is what my avatar is for, to say that my other bike is an Indian Roadmaster. Slower than the Triumph Rocket Touring, to be sure, but very, very comfortable and that is what I...

    Where to get electrical connector

    DEcosse, glad to meet you, I knew there would be some experts on this forum... But in this case, before diving deep, I'd give out a +1 to Bob R. A careful cleaning with either clean air, or better yet, PLASTIC SAFE spray contact cleaner, (Please note the plastic safe, it is on the front of the...

    Motorkote, general consensus and anyone use it? (I do)

    barbagris: The Indian clutch runs in the engine oil. Engine and tranny are essentially one unit. Odd thing, they have the oil pump in the bottom of the engine, so if it ever fails, you have to crack the cases. HD has their pump on the side, about a two hour change out if it fails. Lots of...

    Things I love about “The South”

    The only thing that may be wrong with the South is we are in the process of taking all you Northerner's jobs as the factories move South! Case in point - last ten auto plants built in this country have all been way South of the Mason-Dixon line, and all the Tier One suppliers with them. When...

    Impossible to lay a rocket down!

    I've always been taught, keep it up and stay with the bike at all costs, if possible. Now I know if someone pulls out to do the left-hand turn in front of me, well, I'm probably going over their hood as the bike slams into their front fender. Aside from that, though, all the instructors I have...

    Darkside Weight Limitation

    OK, I'll bite...what exactly is the "dark side"? Maybe yelling "Luke, I'm your father!" to the tire?? And to be honest, down here in the South, where fried chicken and mexican food rules, I see people two up on Harleys that would make you just shudder. I mean, not to be derogatory, but maybe...

    budman, if that avatar is your Triumph Rocket III, I am ENVIOUS. What a great looking ride.

    headed down south...

    Screw the tickets - these days I'd be more worried about a bored druggie or drug smuggler looking for a little target practice. There is a reason those metal bar door and window security companies do so well on homes down there, especially close to the border. Stay safe!

    Motorkote, general consensus and anyone use it? (I do)

    All I know is that the Indian has a wet clutch, same as the Triumph. Same thoughts as barbagris posted about wet clutches came up on the Indian forum, but now there are hundreds of Indian riders who use Motorkote in their engines, thanks to the forum, and not one report of slippage, excessive...

    Motorkote, general consensus and anyone use it? (I do)

    When I first got my 2016 Indian Roadmaster, a veritable beast of a bike, (weight wise), it was stiff in shifting and very hard to find neutral. The Indian people said just have patience, with the 111 Cu. In. engine, the bike weighing in at over 900 lbs., and add capability of handling another...

    Man, what a GREAT crowd! Thanks for all the well wishes, and I think I am going to really like it here. So many forums somehow dive into places they shouldn't go. My Indian Motorcycle forum I belong to has that problem now and then - and strong moderators to boot. Politics seem to be the...
