and so it's time to say "so long"

Hi. I've been a regular visitor to this board for almost 3 years...but now it is time to move on. I recently traded in my 04 R1150R for a Triumph Rocket III Classic Cruiser. I won't go into the reasons why...although I am extremely happy with the bike - totally different experience, but just as much...

okay...one more moron story. I was 18, and working at an injection molding factory as the night shift set-up man. Lots of lovely ladies pulling parts from the machines. I fashioned myself as a "fix it all" mechanic - especially all things electrical. A water heater/pump went out on a moldi...

sounds too wierd to me...but obviously wasn't there to hear the whole thing. Then again, might just be one of those good fortune moments. If it were me, I'd probably let it go, and go buy me a new leather riding jacket :roll:

Corbins on both bikes. Seating is now "non-issue" (stocker was stinker)...I don't even think about it anymore...which is the result I was looking for.

Just thought I'd weigh in on Texas pride. I spent many, many years in Texas (White Settlement, which is near Ft. Worth; Houston, north around 1960 area; Plano, which is north of Dallas; and San Antonio). The pride of all true Texans is what I truly adored. It is stronger (IMHO) than any national pri...

I learned this technique (slight throttle, feather clutch, feather rear brake) for slow speed navigation (parking lot, obstacle avoidance). Only when travelling at walking speed, and don't want to have soles of feet scraping pavement. And not for long periods of time (heat buildup). Really helps wit...

Tried the Sargent, and it didn't work for me. Stocker is (obviously) a real pain in the A$%. Now on a Corbin, and suddenly the seat has turned into a non-issue. Can ride all day. Did take about 1k to break in, though.

I tried Sargent - and while a fine seat - just not for me. I've been on Corbin's for awhile now, and seating on both my bikes is a "non issue".
