Hello, joined the forums and just wanted to say "hi"!
New 2025 Rocket 3 Storm GT. Dealer added on the TPMS kit and connectivity kit. Easy shift is ordered, will install when I take it back this week for the first service. I installed the Evotech tail tidy and removed the front fender. I'll figure out how to take off the front fork reflectors tomorrow. Only other addon I want to do for now is figure out how to put a USB charging port by the handlebars.. My only 'complaint' so far is I would rather an all black gas tank instead of the grey/black (though I really dig the white stripe that separates the colours and I like the Triumph logo). I wonder if there is a good paint place around that could paint the grey part black?
This is actually only my second motorcycle. I had raced bicycles (road racing, triathlon) for years; had always wanted a motorcycle, and finally did this summer. Started on a Honda Rebel 500 (which is such a cool starter bike BTW). After I got comfortable on that, I wanted a cruiser that I could keep up with my friends on sport bikes. I checked out the Harley Davidson Sportser S, and almost bought it that day. But then I saw a YouTube video showing the Rocket. Found an awesome Triumph dealer down the road, checked it out and said "this is the one!".
Yesterday, I went on a long, curvy ride through Southern Indiana with my friend, who rides a Ducati Monster and, well... his exact words were "You’re bike's faster than mine. Don’t ever remind me I admitted that." LOL
I also took my wife on the back for a ride. MUCH better experience than the little Honda!
So, ya, I'm really loving this bike
