About 4 years ago I traded my beloved 2005 Rocket III for a 2020 Triumph Bobber. The weight the bike was putting on my knees was making it too painful to hold up, so with a lot of angst and dread I traded the bike. Last week I took my son-in-law's forks over to Monkey Moto in Argyle for seal replacement and discovered they are now a Triumph dealer. Bottom line, they let me sit on a brand new Evel Knievel GT edition Rocket 3 and the weight was gone from my knees! The bike felt 200 pounds lighter than my 05 model and it sat a bit lower too (had 1 inch over sized Hagons on my 05). Trouble. Now I wanted one. So long story short I'm buying a 2023 Rocket GT tomorrow. The kicker? The bike has less than 150 miles on it (the guy bought it on a whim).
