    Euro bikes out riding

    Where I live most of the bikes on the road seem to be from The Motor Company. Now and then I'll see a few metric cruisers, and a couple of sport bikes. I've only seen 2 Triumphs around here, and no other European bikes. Last week my nephew bought a BMW S 1000 RR. This morning we met up for...

    Storing Bikes in cold weather

    Hey there everyone, Just thought I'd ask a simple but important question about cold weather bike storage! So I have two bikes, the Triumph Rocket of course and the BMW R1200gs. I am currently storing them in a airplane hanger with absolutely no insulation just protection from wind/rain and...

    I've owned some noisy bikes but.....

    Is this normal? The video doesn't capture the bone rattling metal on metal clanking. It doesn't go away at any speed. In fact, even at 80mph on the highway, I can here it over the wind noise. The bike is a 2016, and still has break-in oil in, with 700 miles.

    How do you increase RPM over 6800 on older bikes ?

    I am reprograming my bike with TuneECU to see what I can get. I noticed the 20050 tune won't let the RPM go over 6800. Is there a by-pass or work around for that ? Wanting to try 7000.

    They are nice bikes just a bit small.

    They hired a new guy at work. Mr Harley Davidson himself. He has all the tattoos neat looking sunglasses and of course the Harley Davidson t-shirt. He even had genuine Harley Davidson boots on. Of course the supervisor who we get along with real well hooked him up with me to show him around and...
  10. How tough is the driveline on these bikes?

    Considering the Rocket gets a lot of mods, like the Carpenter stage 1 and 2 kits, blowers, etc., how does the driveline hold up on this bike? Coming from an M109R, which had a weak driveline, the question popped into my head. There were guys that actually snapped the drive shaft on 109s from...

    interesting thought about new sport bikes

    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...

    Adventure bikes

    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...

  18. GP Bikes or Triumph?

    Hey lads; Did anyone else who purchased a new Triumph last year get a Christmas gift from them? I attended GP Bikes last night on their Customer appreciation night and was given a really nice, super high quality triumph bathrobe as a Christmas gift. I couldn't figure out if it was a Triumph...

    Track Marks visits the Australian Superbikes

    Lots of Australians around here but you don't have to be to find this funny. There's also a Kawasaki H2R in there somewhere. Some of it is NSFW if you object to profanity and vulgarity, for example... "Published on Nov 26, 2014 Boris and Boon take Track Marks to the track for the 2014...
