2017 Triumph Rocket III
It looks like I've stumbled upon the right place! I'm a lifelong motorcycle addict, currently residing in the "metromess" of North Texas. About to be the owner of a Rocket III (somewhere in the 2010-2015 range), after thinking about it for only about 13 years or so. I had ridden one at a Triumph Demo Day around 2010, and the fascination never quite left me.

I also have a Honda Valkyrie that I absolutely adore, a Street Triple 675 (my former instructor bike for the race track), and a KTM 690 Enduro R (the true hooligan bike).

Can't wait to get my hands on one! Looking forward to sharing my motorcycle madness with fellow inmates. 🚀😎

Howdy, from TX too. Good idea on an older Rocket. It will be like the Valkyrie on steroids. I see some used ones available in the area. Nice stable ya got. I don't recall seeing a cacti that big around these parts. PS, KTM owns the hooligan market. Gonna be 80f today............hang on
 
Greetings from across the street, Keller TX. A couple years ago a member of this forum gave me his 98 Valkyrie (I did have to go to Phoenix to pick it up). After I got it sorted from 5 years in storage that bike still felt anemic compared to my 05 Rocket.

Howdy stingray! That cactus is a landmark between Puebla and Oaxaca (in Mexico). I do a ton of adventure riding in Mexico, and that particular cactus is one of my favorite landmarks. 🤠

You're right down the road! I'm not surprised about the difference between the Rocket and a Valkyrie -- the Rocket has over 50% more displacement. Can't wait!
