Is this an Intervention??

[Striple]

It looks like I've stumbled upon the right place! I'm a lifelong motorcycle addict, currently residing in the "metromess" of North Texas. About to be the owner of a Rocket III (somewhere in the 2010-2015 range), after thinking about it for only about 13 years or so. I had ridden one at a Triumph Demo Day around 2010, and the fascination never quite left me.

I also have a Honda Valkyrie that I absolutely adore, a Street Triple 675 (my former instructor bike for the race track), and a KTM 690 Enduro R (the true hooligan bike).

Can't wait to get my hands on one! Looking forward to sharing my motorcycle madness with fellow inmates.

Howdy, from TX too. Good idea on an older Rocket. It will be like the Valkyrie on steroids. I see some used ones available in the area. Nice stable ya got. I don't recall seeing a cacti that big around these parts. PS, KTM owns the hooligan market. Gonna be 80f today............hang on

Greetings from across the street, Keller TX. A couple years ago a member of this forum gave me his 98 Valkyrie (I did have to go to Phoenix to pick it up). After I got it sorted from 5 years in storage that bike still felt anemic compared to my 05 Rocket.

Howdy stingray! That cactus is a landmark between Puebla and Oaxaca (in Mexico). I do a ton of adventure riding in Mexico, and that particular cactus is one of my favorite landmarks.

You're right down the road! I'm not surprised about the difference between the Rocket and a Valkyrie -- the Rocket has over 50% more displacement. Can't wait!
