Hi to all you guys and gals of the Rocket III fraternity, nice to make your acquaintance..
Me I’m Dave from Chesterfield in England, famous for it’s Crooked Spire Church, what do reckon, we build a church, put a steeple on it, get it totally wrong, so it twists and bends and for that we are famous!!!
I’ve got to admit that up until last Saturday I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a 2300cc bike, and until I managed to persuade the sales guy at are local Triumph world, to let me have a test ride there and then. He went through all the motions of what does what and where the controls were and then he gave me the rundown on the bike performance, hum me thought can’t see it.
Took the Rocket out of the dealers with some trepidation, as I’m more used to sports bikes than a cruiser, to be honest it was the first time I’d ever sat on a cruiser, let alone rode one.
Out on the road, wound the throttle back, vroooooom, nearly ripped both arms clean out of their sockets, you should have seen the smile on my face, must have been a picture, I’m still smiling, think I’m going to have to go to the doctors to have it surgically removed. What a bike, did all the sales rep said it would, took it back to the dealers and ordered one there and then, got the guy to agree to let me have another hour while he filled out the paper work…
I’m now waiting for my Rocket to arrive be built up and put on the road, about another 8 days 14 hours and 22 seconds to wait, if I can??????
Love all the chat on this forum, very informative, I’ll let you know when I’ve got the beast and she’s purring in my garage………
