Daytona BW - Freedom is not Free Veteran Rig

[TribalJim]

The plug wire pulled out of the connector with hardly touching it so it was loose for awhile.
Every time I had running issues I would try new plugs and either made the short better or worse depending on the angle the wire connector was plugged into the plug.

Better to be lucky than good sometimes.

I had to let my ‘05 die.

Phoenix Triumph wanted $3,000+ to do the timing chain and valve work and I couldn’t get it done any cheaper.

The bike wasn’t worth that much and I made a conscious decision to take a chance to see if I could get to Newfoundland to complete my North America Four Corners goal with Tribal and break 1/4 Million Miles and down to Florida to switch to Black Mamba (Roadster).

Unfortunately, I think crossing the Rockies in the rain & snow pulling my 900lb camper helped finish it off.

The engine seized 50 Northeast of Witchita Kansas at 231,343 miles in 19 years.

I’m hauling my rig to Florida to get my backup bike and get it set up to tow and head north.

looks like a few pics of my area around the 4 corners area the bike served you well

[Sparky]

Wow, that is a whole bunch o miles.....

[EasTexOutlaw]

Never has there been a better thread on a Rocket III forum.
All of the pictures are just so great
Well done

[TribalJim]

Yes, Tribal served me well. I wish I could have justified throwing more money at it but the six months of mystery stalling took its toll on me and it was becoming less fun anticipating the next breakdown.

Hopefully the Roadster will go a year without any major issues.

that picture of the bike laying on its side in the back of truck is so sad

[TribalJim]

Yeah, why put hooks in a transport vehicle?

I did my best but the only place to attach the straps broke.

It wasn’t leaking any fluids and most of the damage occurred during the fall so I just left it flopped over. Depressing for sure.

The Trail of Tears took a detour to avoid a storm (and I was getting tired of superslab)
and then a quick tour through the quaint town of Perry if anyone is familiar with it. Lol

I pushed on through to my brothers house and my Rockets are reunited after a one year separation.

I returned the Uhaul and started moving parts from Tribal to Black Mamba, a 2015 Roadster.

I’m purty sure Tripp’s lives in Perry now 🤠

[Old N’ Grumpy]

He's in Keaton Beach Clint unless he moved. I am about an hour and 15 minutes from Perry and have rode thru it on 19/98 many times.
