Rocket Woo Feckin Hoo

You've got time to take in the match against Chelsea ..........





INCOMING!


..... just kidding, Dilli!!!

 

Yes I did go in the car....... It's BLIDDY freeeeeezing
Great to see you lot and I CAN NOT WAIT to get my rocket.

 

Which one you gone for?

 

Gone for a black R buddy.

 

Any idea on due date as just left a dealer in Chester who - like many seem confused

 

Newcastle triumph have been told, all orders of the black R should/will be at the dealer by the end of January so the customer should have them early February.

 

Popped into Bulldog Triumph yesterday, they had a bunch of Rockets including the swanky TFC £25,000 ouch

Bit too blingy for me

 

A friend sent me this.

So took the new rocket for a test ride today! It is a beast.. but so is my 2009! Feels like a big bobber/speedmaster.. which is good as love those, but i feel too big on them.
Would i get one...100%
Would i trade it for mine.. no!
Reason. I love mine for size and touring two up.. but would have the new one as a big comfy sports bike.. as that's how it felt!

 

That is exactly what I am struggling with, the original feels bigger and more imposing. That's not to say that I don't like the nerve R3R

 

They are already modifying over in America, rear plate mount is replaced with a tail tidy etc.

 

If you are on Facebook Stolly, have a look at Triumph Rocket 3 pilots world wide owners page, there's loads of information about the new R3, and the older versions.

 

or

 

Sexy Beasts, both models, but the older one seems bigger.

 

Some people say Betty Blue has a nice bum for a Trike.

 

That is the best conversion - Grinnall - is that what it is?

 

Is the one above the A2 friendly 2.300cc?

 

Yes it's Grinnall R3, had it 19 months now and I love her more each time I go out.

 

I have to give the new one a couple of pluses - the brakes are superb, traction control is beneficial in wet and the weight. But would I part with my X - jury out on that one.
