I was sitting at the car wash in my little town Saturday when one of my friends hollered, "There goes a Rocket!" We hopped on our bikes and followed them down to McDonalds. It was a Orange 05 with tribal paint. The only other R3 I've ever ran into around home. They were from Fayetteville...

Thriumph Day in Geneva yesterday. Left my green Rocket III on display at the dealership in the morning. Unsurprisingly, it only elicited superficial interest (except for one elderly dude seriously asking me how I had managed to squeeze a Massey-Ferguson backhoe loader engine in a HD frame :D )...
