Dropped the Rocket

[breeze]

Beauty of the crash bars on the R3T is that it barely goes past 45 degrees,

i dont know if my triumph crashbars would hold up they do feel quite flimsy although they are comfy on long rides i really hope i dont have to find out

Another believer in the Triumph crash bars.

Was getting the beast ready for a long trip when I decided to stiffen up the suspension. This made the bike taller. Took my daughter for a short spin, we stopped to get something to drink at a local McDonalds. The parking lot was slightly hilly and as my daughter started to get off the bike it tipped over. Engine redlined and I hit the kill switch.

Adrenaline was my friend. Picked her up with ease and got the kickstand down.

Dropped the suspension and won't change it until I order my Hagons.

I want crash bars for Xmas I think. That bloody radiator looks expensive and vulnerable when the bike lays over.

I've got two spare radiators cause i don't like the look of crash-bars.

Yep I had a set of crash bars . They wher on the beast all of ten mins before I took them off and sold them . Crash bars are one step closer to a goldwing lol
