I'm not only new to R#owners.net, but new to the Rocket, new to Triumph, and new to bikes.
I took a Ride Course in July 2006 and bought a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 800 in September 2006. After riding through the winter I decided I wanted something a bit heavier and more amenable to longer distances. I was looking for a Vulcan 1500 or 1600 and wandered into the local Triumph dealer who had a used 1500 out front.
I saw the Triumphs and said I didn't know there was a local dealer. I wandered through the stock and spied the Rocket. The usual visual impact and curiosity ensued. The guy told me to sit if I liked, then encouraged, then insisted. One sit and I knew there was a Rocket in my future!
I didn't know it was in the near future. That was a Saturday and rode it off on the following Friday (April 13th). I rode off on a brand new bike with almost 3 times the horsepower and way more torque than I had ever had under me on Friday 13th. To add to that it was the first time I had ever riden in the rain.
Haven't lost the grin yet
