End of Touring


This has to be a joke post ! Only Bad ass big bikies should own a Touring model Rocket , do you read what you write LOL Only morons would make a bike suit smaller riders . I can't believe some one would write such dribble and no one else has said anything i laughed so hard a little wee came out , made my day thanks
 
Like you said, vanguard138, if they stop making the R3T then I guess this will be my last bike as well...I'll just switch from my, now, new V6 Mustang and move back up to the GT...if I like the styling by then.

One other way to look at it if the UK "blokes" said the red one was the last one in the UK...they might be talking about the 2014 version with a new color combo coming for 2015...so it may pay to still be a little optimistic.
 
One other thing last Thursday before I left my sister and brother in law's home to continue my "almost" trip to Daytona...I stopped by the local Harley dealer that I bought my HD Road Glide from (who later bought it back from me so I could get the R3T...and let a "rube" later on ride my former Harley who then promptly totaled it out going around a curve) to show my salesman (now Asst. General Manager). I went in the back and got a cup of coffee and when I came back in the showroom and looked out the front window he and four other guys who worked at the dealership were out "admiring" my bike...didn't even realize (except for my friend) that anybody much less Triumph made anything that big...so the beast's reputation is still good...draws a crowd wherever you go.
 
I wish that was the case here in the UK. Many of the accessories my friend wanted for his bike are no longer available on the websites and UK dealers say they cannot source them anymore over here and one recommended to try our luck in the US
 

Surely not. Some of those "big badasses" might be ....... obese.

*** Dumbro you're an idiot.
 
Once you get the Rocket, there's no going back. Sorta like trying to watch and old 23" CRT TV, after the 60" plasma took a dump. I felt bad for my modified 06, 1200 Sportster the other day, so I rolled her out of the barn, washed the dust off, and took it for a ride. What a joke. Sooooo much $$$ wasted. I have more $$$ tied up in it, than I paid for my 2013 Rocket !!!! I can't believe I used to ride that thing around, thinking I was a bad ass. She's back in the barn, and will stay there. When somebody asks why I don't ride a Hardley, I say, "I might be old, but I ain't slow"
