  1. Hello from NC

    Thanks guys and gals. I really appreciate all the feedback. Unfortunately, I decided to stay where I am. I took the 16k cash I had ready to put down on the Rocket, paid off the VTX, two credit cards and some other small stuff I had laying around. I am somewhat disappointed. I really wanted...

  2. Hello from NC

    Ok I snuck over to Ray Price for a 1.5 solo demo today on a different 09 Touring (not se) than I ran on during the last demo ride. I actually tried to make the 1st gear thing happen in every conceivable way possible and could not. .. Odd ... I did noticed that the bike didnt have the...

  3. Hello from NC

    Interesting ... I took it upon myself to call Truimph in GA. I told the operator who first picked up the phone .. about my concern "thinking of buying" .. blah blah ..."seems to be common problem getting into first" blah blah I was connected to Scott the National Manager of Warranties, so...

  4. Hello from NC

    Thanks .. I just want to remind everyone why Im here. I am trying to identify issues with this bike. Bad stuff. All the good stuff is clear. My previous post, the poll, coupled with this video is a bit alarming. Rocket III Touring Part 1 - YouTube Im not here to bash the brand or bike. I...

  5. Hello from NC

    I have not yet ridden the 2010 or the 2011. The demos were once on a 2008 and twice on a 2009. Can those owning the 2010 and 2011 chime in about the first gear issue ? Slow speed maneuver issues on a bike of this weight is potentially dangerous.

  6. Hello from NC

    Yes, In fact, 2011 are last years models. Ray Price Raleigh has them and wanted to sell me the 2012. .....and all the toys I mentioned are no longer offered stock for 2012. Only 2010 and 2011.

  8. Hello from NC

    In negotiations. The offer is 2011 Rocket 3 Touring III SE Black/white $18,000.39 out the door. What do you think ? I was thinking of chewing them down another 500 cause of the left over model year. Or is this a reasonably average cost for the bike ?

  9. Hello from NC

    I replied from my black berry .. but I suppose it went to the admin email account .. ok ... Writing the check is no problem. I rode the Raider about eight times at the Yammy demo ... I didnt buy that bike ... cool to ride but not for me. As with all my other vehicles, trucks, cars...

  10. Hello from NC

    I just got done with my third demo ride of the Rocket III tour. I am NOT a troll looking to start a bunch of crap. I am in search of information. I would like to know about the down sides of this bike. Ive been riding since age 10 and every single bike Ive had on or off road has had down sides...
