Don't worry, I'll have cigaretts on hand in Eureka Springs. Marlboro Reds. Isn't BP and Valero cousins?......oops. That's an other thread, Sorry.



Why would Triumph insist on a unique rear wheel?? Simple. It limits the consumers options and causes you to deal with pre-selected manufacturers. Just like the Mobil 4TRacing or whatever that stuff is. Only available at a Triumph Dealer. How convenient.

I think i'm gonna start running Shell 15-40 Rotella in the R3. It meets the JASO-MA standard (even though it's not marked as such on the jug). JASO-MA (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization-Motorcycle Applicable). Now that you know what it stands for, you can go a dazzle the sales guy or gal at the bike shop.

You know that old saying......'If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bull****'

Hey Flip, you can get the factory oil at O'Reilly auto parts. I also gotta get some pads from ya.
Atomsplitter, I'm jealous of that NoMar. I wanted one, hoped to find one used on Ebay, but no cigar. I keep going back to the same local dude, $20.00 a pop. New tires in the mail, looks like he's gonna make $40.00 bucks on me. Cheaper in the long run, and he's a hell of a lot safer than I will ever be. But I still would like to do it myself.
