This has got to be the best motorcycle ever in history. I'm constantly amazed
and 100% pleased in every way. I can't say I'm good enough with words to
say how great it is. simply amazing in every measure!
Of course...
I'll bet we rank right up there in the America's.

Motorcyclist Magazine, September 2006
Looking out at the Triumph Rocket III Classic through the window of Auntie Ruth’s Diner, I couldn’t help thinking how much the...
22 Rocket owners and their mounts met in central France (between Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand, up in the mountains) this week-end, including yours truly (the only non-French) . Trackerjack, who is a member here, had masterminded the event. Franco-Indian summer :) , unusually warm and sunny...
As some of you might have read from TriumphRat.net we had a Rocket III conference hare in Finland in a town called Turku right by us.
We had a goal of 100 000 cc at the same place, which requires 44 bikes and in the official count we had 45.
Here is a picture from the event sadly I'm not wery...
I noticed a dealer on-line that is selling R3's for $13,999 Out The Door Price. I think that is a very good deal considering my "local" dealer wants $15,999 for the same bike PLUS Doc, and Prep fees. The $13,999 bike would take me a 5 hour drive up there and of course 5 hours back. I would end...

Triumph News & Rumors: Triumph touring bike based on the Rocket III will be released in the U.S.A. as a 2007 model, probably on September 26, 2006 at the Triumph new model unveiling in Los Angeles; only 2,000 Rocket III's reported sold so far in the U.S. since its introduction.

For all of you interested. I loaded a picture I took of my Honey Bear's hitch. Pretty heavy duty appearance so may not be what you want. He designed it himself. Just doesn't have the money to try and patent and sell, if you know what I mean....:cool: Oh I just re-read my post. The picture isn't...

When Triumph launched the majestic Rocket III in 2004 it was to be the most spectacular flagship model since Honda's Gold Wing. The inevitable has happened and the Rocket III has evolved into a...
Good news for fans of the new Triumph Daytona 675 triple. It has been an instant success for Triumph and the bike is pretty much on backorder worldwide", Trevor Barton from Product development states. Barton also told us that Triumph will build more than 7500 675s for the 2007 model year. That’s...
None in Triumph's catalogue. My left over Triumph Daytona 955i bag just won' t fit (instrument cluster interferes, wrong tank hole location and no under-the-tank room for straps). Nor does my surviving Valkyrie bag (ditto, plus front straps are too short and it's pretty much battered ). Triumph...
