    Ok here’s the deal :)
    I Feckin love NUDGER to bits :heart_eyes:
    But here’s the rub:confused:
    I got NUDGER on one of those PCP deals :confused: something I said I would never do for a motorbike but I simply had to have a 2018 Speedmaster :imp:
    He ticks all the boxes for me but I couldn’t wait a few years for second hand ones at a more affordable price :(
    Of course that means at some point I have to find the money for the balloon payment :sob:
    I’ve already started saving for the dreaded day but if at the time I don’t think it’s worth it compared to what the second hand values are then I’m afraid NUDGER will be gone :sob:
    Then I’ll seriously and I mean seriously consider a Rocket lll:eek:
    In the meantime I’ll be putting NUDGER to good use doing the things I love....... rallies and the like :cool:
    Everything I’ve made/altered can be returned to standard if I have to hand him back :sob:

    Or you could go back into Triumph and see what they can do with swapping out Nudger for a Rocket 3 now ...
    Just saying :D:imp:

    I am also thinking of getting a rocket maybe in the winter when the prices may be a bit better. I am looking for the older 2008 style as I do not like the new Roadster. I bought the Thunderbird this year thinking that the Rocket maybe too heavy to go from a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 but now I am used to the Thunderbird, I also would like to get the Rocket.

    Don't count on prices being better the longer you wait - there is a marked increase in value of well kept Rockets. In my opinion - if you see it, can afford it - buy it. 83407_87380d1bfcb1d904cda060a871af1b2e.jpg

    The Triumph is not that well accepted here in Canada. It is Harley country and it does sell at a reasonable value for the buyer here. Also I need to sell my Kawasaki Vulcan 900 too before I buy it. LOL.
