From Honda Valkyrie to a Triumph Rocket - Hello :-)

Welcome from sunny North Texas. Had a Valk for a short period (via Leigh Gardner) and it was an OK bike. Not the power of the Rock (but then what is). Sadly my heavy bike days are behind me, but still enjoy riding the little thumpers.
 
Very nice bike ,Welcome from Scotland . There's a few members went from F6C to Rockets me Included . Upgraded it to Valkyrie Rune.

All 3 of these bikes are on my list. I had a 2004 Rune, which was wrecked due to a really dumb driver turning left from the right hand lane of traffic (2 lanes each direction) in front of me in 2020. Been on a Rocket III for the last couple years now. I'd love to pick up another Rune, and an older Valkyrie, and even a Rocket 3 TFC (recently found a dealer in the USA that still has 2 new ones sitting around). Wife says I can only have 1 bike at a time, so I plan to start saving to pick these up 1 at a time. Have you kept all of these wonderful machines, or replaced?

If you buy them one at a time, problem solved (until you run out of garage space). I'm almost there with 5 bikes......
 
Hi, live Wirral, England.
After four Honda F6c Valkyries, decided to go modern and acquire a lovely 2007 Rocket III. No regrets ( BOTH great bikes ).
New front tyre to be fitted shortly and other mods include shorty stainless exhaust and T bars + clear indicators. Love this bike.

I have both... inherited from my father. He had us on every bike under the sun as kids. The 2009 Triumph R3 I have is insanity. I cannot believe the sheer power this thing throws out at the flick of the wrist. Unbelievable ride. Have fun with yours!

Only one bike at a time? That’s plain cruel and unfair.:mad::rolleyes:😅
