Rocket Woo Feckin Hoo

My motto is ”Life’s short, buy the damn bike!“

 

My other motto, or rationalization maybe, when it comes to buying bikes is “Hey, at least it’s not an airplane or a boat!”

 

Now I’m starting to understand why you need a new bike with so much power, Dilli!

 

I’ve had the airplanes, but, just can’t bring myself to get a 7 day wonder they call a boat!
Regards,Ken.

 

Whats the old quote? If it floats fucks or flys then rent it by the hour

 

Rule #1 never add up the price of fun, that goes for everything.

 

At the Avon Roadrider launch. Got the new Rocket on show. Great to sit on. It didn’t feel too heavy. Can’t wait for delivery

 

When have you been

What date is yours getting delivered?

 

Gone for 1st March to get the new reg and it fits in with my retirement plans to be able to afford it!
As with most bikes it looks so much better in person.

 

I cant wait to see it, hopefully I'll get to sit on one at the bike show this month.
If it looks better in person i may pee myself it looks fantastic in your photo's.

 

Got the PR Director from Triumph here. Going to try and corner him later.
The Rocket has Avon Chrome as OE fitment

 

How tall are you ?- as these bikes seem smaller than previous models.

I’m 5’10. No problem with feet flat on ground. Have 32 inch inseam. Seat is cut nicely at front so easy to get feet down

 

I think I’m going to change to the R from the GT and then add a few bits.
Red looks awesome but I bet the black is stunning too.

 

Great video of the seat mate, and not the one on the bike

 

Having had longer to sit on it with someone holding it upright I found it is quite a stretch to the handlebars which was not comfortable for me. I don’t know if it was my huge “Crown Jewels” package getting in the way or the size of the tank.
I’m 5’10 with average build and found it a stretch. The GT has swept back bars so should be more comfortable.

 

I'm thinking it looks pretty darned good in the photos!

 

That is one very good looking bike enjoy, it certainly looks a leg spreader.
