Ride
2015 Triumph Rocket III Touring
I've been progressively recuperating since my crash that I posted about at the beginning of October. The kid who hit me was driving the car his girlfriend drives, which was owned and insured by her mother. It took some doing to verify that the insurance was good because there was a misspelling of the mother's name and the VIN was off by 1 number. The sheriff's Deputy who wrote the crash report went way beyond the call of duty to get all of that straight and I finally got a check for my totaled Scrambler towards the end of November. I had been looking for my next bike and had pretty much decided that I wanted a Triumph Rocket III Touring. I found this one that was purchased and traded in with 25 miles on it and I had it shipped. It came in yesterday, but I still can't ride just yet because I have to get the tags for it.

This thing is a BEAST, but a manageable beast (as you of course already know). Compared to the Scrambler that seat is like a Barcalounger. I'll miss the off road adventures that I had with the Scrambler... but the bulk of the riding I do is with neighbors and the Legion Riders and this bike will make those rides MUCH more enjoyable.
 
Welcome and congrats. Wife and I purchased that same model in November. Ours is being stored at the dealer near Chicago till spring. Unfortunately weather is not as nice here. Tell me what you thing once you put some miles on it.

WOW! Nice Colors. Have fun with The Beast
 
Congrats on your records ery progress
And
Congrats on your new motor!
 
Yep, they are beasts but as you say quite manageable. That was the color scheme I'd gotten if I had a choice, but the Jet Black and New England white came into the shop calling my name and you know I had to get it. Good riding and Merry Christmas!
