Had to head to Brissy today for a training thing, was in the work car:( (luckily I got a ride in on Saturday).
On the way I noticed a couple of biggish batches of bikes riding west, Three Rockets caught my eye at different times, two Classics and one Tourer, I think. Made me wonder if any of you...
Has anyone tried to add a different style Triumph tank badge to their ride at all.
I have a 2009 Rocket and the Simplistic writing IMO just doesn't do it for me.
SO just wondering whether anyone has had a dabble in fitting any of the newer tank badges or any other badge for that matter that is...
Folks, I have been made aware of the motor series where all the "upgrades" are included...anything past 337294. But in calling dealers on 2009 models, I'm getting block numbers that appear to have one too many digits, like 3336622. At first I thought they repeated one of the digits, but then...
Hello guys, I'm new here and I am not sure if this thread belongs here, but here it goes.
I do not own a Rocket yet, but I will be taking that step soon.
I originally intended to buy a brand new 2014, as I like the idea of more torque, ABS, and the blacked out look...
But, unforseen financial...
Wouldnt it be great to have your bike shipped to any Country you wanted and ride the best roads available ?
Here's a few starters

Which one's have you ridden ?
I was wondering what sales have been for the various Rockets over the years.
I see 1 or 2 a week around Omaha, but there are 3 dealers within 50 miles here.
How would one get the figures?
I post this purely as an exercise in meaningless musing but has anyone come up with a collective noun (a school of fish, a murder of crows or a raft of penguins for example) for a group of R3's. The Thunderbird crowd used to say they had a Flocking of Thunderbirds when a bunch got together. My...
Anyone have a suggestion for this ?
Maybe a rolling event across some states?
It wasn't supposed to show a date. The date and location will be voted on.
Someone remove it please.
To all you Rocket pilots in the UK, I'm over from Ireland for first two weeks in June staying around Matlock Bath area in the Derbyshire peak district. So anybody around fancy a run about/chat in a pub let me know.
I gather the police can be a bit picky at the weekends around there??
Looking...
Was a lovely day for it yesterday, Sunny Hunny (Hunstanton, Norfolk, UK):
I found some other rockets there but not their riders, anyone seen these before in the east of the UK:
I am really wanting to get out on a ride with fellow Rocketeers at some point and I keep seeing Rockets here...
New guy, so sorry if asked and answered before. I am actively searching for a newer(or new) Rocket Roadster. Do California bikes have emission equipment that would affect the performance? If so, how much of a problem to fix? Thanks.

Not all my cup of tea - but they all lay waste to the notion that only Harleys are "customized".
G'day blokes,
Any suggestions (other than the train) for transporting a Rocket from Perth to Melb for the GP and therefore RDU 2014?
Don't have the time to ride across and back and can't seem to find an R3 for hire anywhere in Vic. It is cheaper to hire a bike for 10 days than it is to...
I wanted to give the Forum Members some information about the Dobeck Performance AFR Plus I recently installed on my 2006 Standard Rocket III. This add-on performance enhancement system is a plug and play devise that controls the fuel system at the injectors. No computers or dyno tuning is...
I know and fully understand that black rockets are the fastest, but I am going to take ole' blackie and give her a new coat of paint. Was wondering if people can post pics of non factory colored rockets. Even with a new coat of paint, it will always be a "faster" black rocket!!

Just my shameless plug . . .:D
The Diavel was brought up in one of the welcome threads and I started to type a rant, but stopped myself because that's not what the welcome posts are for! Instead I'm going to post some thoughts here and see if I'm all alone in my opinions.
If you look up the Triumph Thunderbird, you find...
