    Got lucky today! Hit a deer with a car, not a bike...

    Not really thrilled about the outcome but I was lucky that I hit the deer with a car rather than a bike but it could have been far worse. This morning I was driving on a side road when a deer leaped out of the brush line right in front of me. I was only going about 30mph but it was suddenly...

    Helmet and bike Bluetooth issue

    I have a 2020 Rocket 3 GT with Bluetooth and use a Shoei Neotec 2 with Sena headset inside. I can make calls out via the bike bar controls but all incoming calls get kicked to my answer machine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    04 Rocket Thermo fan switches on/off more than any bike I have ever owned.

    I am guessing this is normal with such a big engine? My bike is not over heating but even in winter 16c the fan kicks in after a freeway ride at the first stop and seems to take ages to bring the temp down to switch the fan off idling at the lights. Then it's off and on ever time I stop. The...

    Inter bike com systems

    Helmet Communication System I have a couple of friends who are going on a long haul trip. They asked me which inter bike com system would I recommend. I have not looked into them for the last few years , so I thought I would ask the group for their opinion. They will be using full face...

    Bike down, what now?

    After leaving work today I stopped by a friends shop and was in the store less than 10 minutes before the shop owner came running to me saying my bike was on its side. I went out and picked it up, just bent bars and levers and a scratched bag, so no huge loss that I can see. They ran the cameras...

    Bike Wobble and Hesitation

    My 2021 with 750 miles has a 1-2 second hesitation and engine wobble when I pull on the throttle with medium to hard acceleration. Also when riding at 80-90 mph I will have a partial loss of power, which comes and goes. Check engine light is now on and during my last ride the traction control...

    Fastest Bike I've Ever Riden

    Hey Folks, Just wanted to document my thoughts. First of all, I ride a Carpenter Racing 210+ R3R, fantastic, powerful, makes me smile on a regular basis. A buddy of mine recently picked up a Kaw H2 Supercharged with Brocks performance upgrade 240+ RWH on a 500 lb super sport. Were out riding...

    Fob problem starting bike

    I have not heard anyone having the problem of your fob is on green, hit starter, no recognition connected, nothing. Try again, nothing. Hit fob button once quick, lights come on. Random. Sooo annoying. Will bring it up again at dealer tomorrow getting air filter replaced.

    Tell Dealer Bike is Tuned?

    Flashed Penner's full power map this weekend. LOVING it! Got the quick shifter on order (which should be an amazing combination). When I take the bike into the dealer for install, any reason not to tell them it's been tuned? I don't want them to try and install any updates and overwrite the...

    Bringing the bike to USA then Canada

    As some of you might know I'm in a process of emmigrating to Canada from the UK. I sold my R3 roadster with a hope of getting another one in Canada. Then after a sale somebody here mentioned about a trick of "selling it" to US member and then " buying it back". Just to clarify there is no way of...

    Oil dumping out of winter/parked bike after cold drop... (?)

    My 2005 Triumph R3 parked since October sort of froze in my garage (I assume) and it pushed about a half guart of oil out of the engine. I haven't gotten into it yet because I have a car engine torn down keeping me from it, but does this sound like maybe water leaked into the bike's oil and...

    FIFTY times the displacement of my first bike?

    A DKW 50cc two stroke, pedal assisted, open frame. In green, with cream trim. Gone through a bunch of neat bikes during this journey, loved them all, from the Hodaka Super Rat to the BMW R90S in Daytona Orange, and all the other special machines that have made these past 56 years a 'rell of a...

    Waiting for New Bike

    Everyone has heard this before, but that dealer told me 5 weeks ago, my new R3GT would be in in 2 weeks time. This wait is killing me. just needed to vent. I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this group and learning about the bike over this time, but time to deliver, Triumph!
