So we were bsing about motorcycles at work and a buddy made this statement.
All these new ****** rockets are just cheaper versions of gp bikes. Yet the way they make em cheaper is to take off all the stuff that makes them handle better yet they are almost identical in power and speed. Which he...
Made it to Carpenter Racing. Got to meet Bob Carpenter. Great guy, really friendly.
And a special thanks to @TriumphPhil for the ride from the airport to the shop.
So far I've gone 216 miles to Front Royal, VA. In the morning I'll be riding Skyline Dr, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I'm trying to decide what to replace my vtx1800 with. I'm shipping it down to Fla for vacations and need a replacement. Want to get big bike with flat out speed. Looked at Vmax but it's really a 1 person bike with little options for storage. Test drove Rocket dresser and love it. Read that...
Man, I always thought adventure bikes were lame. If you want a street bike, just get a street bike. If you want a dirt bike just get one, they're way better at it. But, I started watching youtube videos about guys going on rides to alaska and other cool and rugged destinations, and it seems like...
My bike started idling low and dying. For about 8 miles it ran fine I gassed up and that when the bike stopped idling. I thought I had gotten bad gas but it ran fine down the road. I decided to ride the gas out on the express way. 150 miles later i stoped for more fuel the bike still would not...
You may be aware already ?. but for those---(like me) who didn't know..:unsure:
Basically, if you use a smartphone, the picture will have GPS location data embedded, the time you took the photo and the type of smartphone used!!! :eek:
Right click the bike's photo, copy the URL onto the...
The bike is still in France but it had also developed a problem with starting. This is not new, it has happened before but I still don't know the fault. Sometimes all that can be heard is the clicking of the starter relay & sometimes I can hear the starter solenoid trying to kick in. Whichever...
For a big bike the Roadster feels very cramped on long rides. I am long legged and I end up sitting on the upswept portion of the seat. Something has got to give. It seems a peg forward kit is not being considered by Triumph. Maybe an aftermarket seat would help. Called Triumph tech help...
I saw this video and am convinced that I should save my pennies and buy one. Then I can truely ride year round...

Just found this on youtube. I think only one Harley has a radiator, Vrods, I should know, I have one. I figured the best place to get another opinion would be this site.
Thought I'd put a post up showing both of my bikes. I've wanted to do this for weeks, but time or lack of it has meant it's taken a while....

Just had Exedra Max fitted to the rear and Avon 72V Cobra to the front... Thanks to you guys on here i followed what...
I was just killing time watching YouTube videos when I spotted a R3 engine in a OC/ Jessie James looking custom bike. Just thought you guys might find it interesting. The bike is at about 19:00 into the video.
The guy driving a Porsche Turbo asks "What kind of motor is in that thing?" And you respond with "2300 CC's in an Inline Triple" and he pulls out the parking lot rubbernecking and then crashing into the median scratching up the wheel and body panel of his car on his way out... all for just...
Hi All. From the beautiful Sth Coast of NSW, a riders haven. Wifey has given me the go ahead to fulfill my mid life crisis and up to now I've been torn between a TBird and a Rocket. It WILL be a Triump regardless. No HD for me...
Test rode a Storm last year and quite enjoyed it but there's...
