FTR2: Why we do it.

Nice marketing piece, guys, but I've got some news for ya'...

We Rocket III Captains aren't "sharing the road with juggernauts...", we're riding The Juggernaut!
 
I got a pretty good chuckle out of this one.
 
WTF ? No Rocket 3 ? I hope you guys don't sit around wondering why you can't seem to sell Rocket 3's. MOST OF THE FU<KING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST ! Christ, I probably spend more money advertising Rocket 3's by making tee shirts for the forum members in a year than Triumph does on all R3 advertising.
 
I do it to see if one day Triumph will improve there after sales customer service and if one day they being Triumph, being you if your name is to be believed will start listening to the owners and riders of Rocket 111's and fix a few of the minor problems that these fantastic motorbikes have.
 
Surprised they didn't 'squeeze' one shot of a RIII into that propaganda .. admit seeing that Speed Triple slicing through those twisties did make me want to go find some corners .. so I guess the clip did it's job.
Shame they left "the largest production motorcycle in the world" out though .. bet no other manufacturer would have.
 
Since you guys seem to want to talk about this, I'll move it.
 

Fred stop your swearing or I will tell your wife, the rocket would never be a massive seller no matter how much money Triumph threw at it main reason being it is a fu<king ugly bike in fact it is so ugly it is beautiful to a chosen few only, plus the out of the norm looking engine i am quite surprised Triumph have sold as much as they have.
As for you guys who never see another Rocket on the road come down beside me they are as common as muck and it pisses me off.

Well, maybe that is it, I could always win the ugly hooker contest when we flew into Cubi Point (Philippines). Of course, I never kept one before so owning this Rocket thing is kind of different. Weird, different, but definitely worth the snickers behind my back from those people riding those high maintenance lookers!!!!

I don't think Rockets are ugly .. I do admit at first I thought they looked "unusual" and out of proportion ( after owning Harley Dyna's ) .. nowadays I think Rockets are a beautiful looking bike.
