2017 rocket 3 roadster
Hello all, I must confess I purchased my ROcket Roadster a few weeks ago and since the day I went to the dealer I have been reading everything I can from the members of this forum! Very informative.

I have been riding since I was 16, I have had Ducati, BMW, Honda, and I usually lean to the side of Kawasaki, That being said I just traded my ZX14R for the Rocket. I was looking for something more comfortable for longer straights as Northern Il. is full of straights. Even as I was riding the ZX14R to the dealer to make the trade I was wondering if I was making the right choice. That bike never failed to make me smile!

Happily, the Rocket has not let me down! It accelerates harder, puts a giant grin on my face and can still do some damage in the twisty bits. I cannot wait to see what adventures this odd British contraption and I will have. Below is the requisite photo of the monster, in the background you can see the previous steed. I really stepped out of my comfort zone with the color combo!
 
Welcome from Indiana. It sure was a hot weekend wasn't it.

Welcome to the forum and you are correct great bike for those straight lines up your way.

If you do Facebook check out our Midwest Triumph Riders group.

Hopefully our paths will cross.

Congratz on going outside the box.
