Looking to pickup a Rocket III, took a one hour test drive and I'm a believer now.

Welcome to the site. A test ride is what got me too. No regrets.

Welcome to the site. Looks like we have a lot in common. I have a pickup full of firearms too. But I don't have a speed triple or daytona. I can only afford one bike at a time.
Don't be afraid to post questions here, you will get plenty of responses.

Test ride is what did it for me also. After ride it was like WOW, this bike has some muscle!

Buy the Rocket...you won't regret it.
Welcome aboard.

Glad you've seen the light. The speed triple probably gave you a good view of Triumph's in general. I made it to sitting on the R3 during the sales pitch and was hooked. We went down stairs and they had one of each color. I took the Red one and have never looked back......except to see where the Hardley's went!

I use computers, I've visited Daytona and my two babies (H&K 45/S&W 340 PD) fill a big part of my firearms needs. Next up will probably be the Taurus Ultra Lite Judge 45/410

Welcome to the site, hope you get your Rocket sooner than later.

Like you, I will be getting my 3rd Triumph, second RIII. I liked the first one so much I drove it to ruin which by the way I don't recommend. Welcome mjbell1.

Welcome to the Fourem, mj.

Baggage, sure glad it didn't drive you to ruin

Welcome mj...it wasn't the test ride initially that got my attention. It was the engine specs and the fact that I needed something other than a Hardley to tote my big butt around. The test ride was the capper though...hadn't been that excited in years....SB...
