[Idaho Red Rocket 3]

Interesting read from India. I think it odd the writer liked the factory suspension. Does that indicate the quality of the suspensions of Indian made bikes ? I also found myself reading in my head with a Dr. Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Ph.D. accent.

Bill,
He's likely a tiny little Indian fellow!
How much shock does a little man need?

Flagship??? - Bikebiz here in Sydney don't even have one on the showroom, neither did Teammoto last time I was there, haven't seen an article on them in any of the Triumph news, only by chance I saw they are bringing out a "Grind" model. It doesn't look exciting to me, but it fits in with their (lack of) marketing. Almost seems like whoever is in charge of marketing the Rocket has the attitude of "lets market the rest and do the opposite with the Rocket and see how many sell". If they did that with the scrambler, be understandable, sales guy at Bikebiz reckons he can tell a scrambler buyer the moment they walk in the door. Sells about 2 or 3 a year.
