I just saw that Triumph will not be at the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show again. They weren't there last year but were there (I think) the year before.
Does anyone know why? Every other important maker will be there so why not Triumph?
Very disappointing and also very puzzling...
Anyone going to Bikefest at Lake of the Ozarks, MO this weekend? I will be there either on my yellow/ cream Valk or the black Rocket I bought a few weeks ago. I was putting my new bags on the R3 last night and am missing one of the bolts. Fastenall is getting it UPS Fri mid-day, about the...
Here are the dyno graphs of my bike,before and after cams and dyno tune.My bike pulled pretty good numbers straight up but it was very very lean.
Neville Lush in SA done all work on the bike,fitted lock up clutch,fitted his cams and done all the dyno work.

How about some pictures of my previous bike? 2002 Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. I polished the wheels, swingarm, various engine covers, basically all the aluminum bits except the frame, I also polished the forks and triple trees but did not get pics before the crash. I also did the paint work, my...
To start out...
I love to be able to look up OEM part information on Bike Bandit.
To start in...:soapbox:
I thought I could save a little money by ordering from bike bandit and I probably will in the long run. But the pain and aggravation of trying to deal with their parts ordering is...
In a recent post, Pianoman told about a card he made up with R3 info on it to hand out when he stops. Me and my friens made up cards ourselves. [See below] Anybody else have a bike card?
This article, although kewl, says somethings I don't agree with. For instance referring to Royal Enfield as a British bike? How about stating that even Triumph is not made in England but oversees, as opposed to Royal Enfield?!?! But wait, when was even one screw made in England for Royal...
Other than you?
I know some people who will never let anyone ride their bike and would never ask to ride yours. I have other friends who would let pretty much anyone ride their bike without a second thought.
Me? If I trust you enough to ride with you...I trust you on my bike. I pretty much...

Hey all, I sometimes have a problem downshifting when I have been cruising at highway speeds for quite a while...such as commuting to work in the morning....such as THIS morning . It has happened to me a few times in the past. I know the oil is fine as there is only about 3K miles on it. I am...
I ordered this bike lift from the MAC tool guy... it looks like it would be easy to use and more importantly safe to use on the Rocket. It appears to be somewhat open underneath it and that should help with oil changes, but I really wanted something that will get the wheels off of the ground so...
