It's been a long road to ownership of a Triumph Rocket III, I've been wanting one for a very long time. I initially joined TRIUMPHRAT about 2 years ago when I was about to purchase one. An agreement was made, I had the cash in my hand, shook hands on the deal, and the guy had to drive home to retreive the title...on the way, he was cut off in traffic and wrecked the bike! He ended up suffering only minor injuries as I was told, but the bike was totalled. As it turned out, I was about to undergo a little bit of a financial crisis anyways, so I guess it was a good thing I still had my money. Since then, l let's just say that Murphy's law has wreaked havoc in my life for the last couple of years and I have had a series of financial and family setbacks which have prevented me from getting a Rocket.
Finally, I am officially the owner of a 2007 Rocket III! About three weeks ago, I went out of state for my nephew's graduation and stopped by to look at this bike on the way. I hadn't really planned on it, but a deal was made and I ended up driving the bike to the graduation and then back home over the weekend. I'd say I put a little over 700 miles on it it 2 days which is the longest distance I have ever rode a motorcycle in such a short amount of time.
Let me just say that I felt like Superman taking flight as I rode North past the mountains with the blazing sunset to my West! The bike runs like a champ! Although I have been around bikes all my life and have over 30 years of riding experience, I have never owned such a mechanized wonder as this, I look forward to learning more about the performance, maintenance, and upkeep with this machine.
