I just now received my current issue of Motorcycle Consumer News!
True to the editor's word - There is a Rocket Roadster test in the June issue.

The title reads, "Heavyweight HOT ROD Touring - Triumph's Rocket III Roadster vs Honda's Gold Wing F6B"

This has gotta be good - think I shall savor reading it until tonight over a tall coo one . . .

Hey TC !
Although I be 'merican . . . me smart enough to spare others the blow
NO WAY we don't kick the Wing's arse!
More News at 11 . . .


OK OK I PEEKED
Headines I saw were:
Engines - Triumph 1st Honda 2nd; Transmissions - Triumph 1st Honda 2nd; Suspension - Triumph 1st Honda 2nd; Brakes & Tires - Tie; Handling - Triumph 1st Honda 2nd; Styling & Ergonomics - Honda 1st Triumph 2nd; Riding Impressions - Triumph 1st Honda 2nd; Instruments & Controls - Honda 1st Triumph 2nd. Also noted was the $4400 to $5000 cost savings on the Triumph.

Looking pretty good I'd say! More later . . .
