    Pushed it a bit too hard

    ...that's what i would call a "brown pants" moment.

    How long.......do you keep your ride?

    When I took a sip of the Triumph kool aid, I chugged the sh*t until I nearly drowned in it. I was normally 2 years but I love my 2 Triumphs (the other one is a Bonneville SE) and hope to keep them as long as they will last me. Financially I'm within 4 years of paying off both motorcycles, both...

    New to the world of Triumph R3

    While the beast is indeed quite well mannered, a careless blip of the throttle the beast will lunge ahead without mercy. The response is instantaneous. Learn to respect it and it will respect you.

    Rocket discontinued? Why would Triumph come out with a Rocket Trike?

    Hello fellow Rocket enthusiasts

    Summer in Florida is when you hang up your keys, slap the battery tender on and wait for the fall... Welcome Noob!

    WHICH GPS...

    A smart phone and the Waze app. I put my phone in a waterproof case, 12V socket and I'm good. The advantage of using Waze is the user reporting feature which will alert of road hazards and the police... Even though you probably wouldn't care about the latter since we Rocket 3 Captains hardly...

    Time for a new rear tire, car tire or bike tire ?

    Trike it and THEN put a car tire. No problems.

    If there was 2 things you could add or change on the Rocket 3 what would they be?

    1. Reverse Gear - Since owning my R3T I've become an expert on parking lot topography, my topographical observational powers would be envied by professional golfers. Personally I think any motorcycle over 700lbs should have reverse. 2. Straighter bars on the touring. The pull back bars are meh...

    Parking the Rocket for the summer

    Well crap! Actually I recently moved from Brandon. Now in Brooksville, much better for Rocket riding!

    2014 R3T Foot Rests Wobbling

    Odd indeed. I'm a hair over 10k and not a single issue.

    Parking the Rocket for the summer

    Sorry about the knee, but it couldn't have happened at a better time. Summer is the worst time of the year for riding so you'll get to miss the sweltering and unforgiving heat, swamp level humidity and not to mention getting cooked by that radiator. Hopefully your knee will heal and you'll have...

    Fridays the day...

    Welcome! Personally I don't think I would have purchased the Rocket if I had test rode it first. My first ride felt big, heavy and cumbersome. It took a few hundred miles to feel somewhat comfortable with it. Sometimes to this day I'll have tinges of regret getting such a large powerful...

    Rocket lll Touring NO CONFIDENCE

    Odd. My touring has been more reliable than my Bonneville. They both have about the same mileage except with the Bonnie I usually do 30 miles at a time (commuting) and the Rocket close to (or many times over) 100 miles, 2 up and passing long lines of cars/HDs. The only problem I've had with the...
