Little brother

[rocketrod]

Picked up a little brother for the Rocket.
Thanks to the good folks at Freewheeling Triumph in Douglasville, Ga.
A guy shopping there said it is a nice bike just a little heavy. Heavy LOL . I ride a Rocket Touring!

Nice Machine!

Very nice, not really a red person but I like that red.

Nothing wrong with a little brother.

Be careful with that "Little Brother". He can whip the tar out of a Rocket. Yeah I know first hand. @Justdad can confirm this.

I would by a new Speedmaster if they would put the Thruxton engine in it.

beautiful bike. jealous. I'd love a thruxton.


Bill, a thruxton can outrun a rocket?!?! sheeeeeesh I didn't know that.

 

[Idaho Red Rocket 3]

Well a Thruxton R with minor mods and a cam has beaten my Rocket with minor mods 48 out of 49 runs against each other. That Thruxton R is dyno tuned with 101 HP. My Rocket WAS dyno tuned to 145 HP. The power to weight ratio was against me. HOWEVER, now that I have done some expensive up-grades to my Rocket, I think my new dyno number of 200 HP will overcome this Thruxton R at the drag strip on October 1st. Stay tuned.

No more walk of shame. Beat him this time! I have to run up to Middleton to see my wife's brother briefly this week. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.
Edit: I wonder how a newer gen Rocket would fare against the Thruxton.

That there sounds like a challenge to me.
