The Old Guy knows his Triumphs

[DJ]

I took some $hit from guys I work with who ride Harleys... 'why would you waste money on a Triumph?' etc etc... I went out riding with them, smoked all of them and their $30k bikes, outrode them in curves, got better gas mileage. At the end of the day, not one of them had something bad to say about the R3T. As payback, I took some PIG (oil-absorbing) mats and cut them into Harley logos, and then placed them under each of their bikes in the parking lot. Told them it was 'just in case'. haha

You don't mean "just in case" you actually mean "when"...

Maybe it's cos boring black aint a patch on the best colour YELLOW

It sure was an eye catcher that's for sure. I wish I could keep all the bikes I buy

Is it just me or is this a tad ironic given the way you seem to keep dribbling over your yellow Suzuki....

It grew on me over the years. Was a reliable bike and had lot of happy miles on it.

I hope I can do even more on the Rocket now that it's more suitable for 2 up riding

I get nothing but ooohs and aaahs from many bike owners. Park the bike and it's an instant magnet. A lot of thumbs up from cagers also while riding. The bike commands attention, sounds good and marks it's territory with authority. With no dealers within 6 hours, any Triumph is unique. The masses don't seem to realize Triumph is a real force in the motorcycle world with a quality product. There are only a handful of different models in my community.

The other interest group is the ****** rocket riders. Many of them state that they don't care for cruisers/Harleys, until they see my Roadster. They like the peg position and the sound even better. All in all, it has generated a lot of interest in my home town. No one has a Rocket here.

And we got our bikes at the same time at the same place. How cool is that!
