  1. Crash and burn...

    Literally... Dang. Out on a ride two weeks ago. Unfamiliar with the two lane road, passed slower traffic and found myself heading into a curve too fast. I think I laid it down, but honestly am not certain. No one else involved. All on me. Bike burned about 20 feet from me as I lay with...
  2. Rider Alert Cards (Crash Cards)

    I just got this email this morning announcing the registration events for UK style "crash cards". Sounds like a great idea. I'll be picking mine up on Saturday. Dear Rider: You are invited to help us kick off an exciting new safety project for the United States right here in Central Virginia...
  3. Good Crash Bars

    I am a new R3 owner with a 06 standard . I am looking for a decent set of crashbars . The only choice seems to be OEM & Rivco. Not having dealt with the Rivco company I do not know anything about their products. I want something sturdy enough to protect the bike in-case of a lay-down at low...
  4. crash bar help needed

    I want to remove the front crash bars to powdercoat them but looking at them, the bolt that holds them on at the top also appears to be an engine mount?

  8. Pics from my crash Sept. 2006

    I've mentioned my crash many times since joining this community after buying my RIII and I just got my hands on these pictures of the accident scene of my crash. Basically I was headed to work on the interstate when an oblivi-tard decided he needed to turn on the next exit 5 lanes over (he was...
  9. Crash bars/engine guards

    So what is the story on the crash bars/engine guards? I've seen several different posts on the Triumph and the Rivco's, neither one have struck me as doing much to keep the bike from being damaged. It seems like they "lessen" the damage but might not be as functional as we would like. Anybody...
  10. Rivco Crash Bar Install FYI

    I just finished installing my Rivco Crash Bars that the the fat man man brought. FYI when you remove the the motor mount bolt, be careful not to drive the bolt out (after jacking the bike up) without watching the other side. It can hang on the radiator trim if you are not paying attention or...
