Test ride 7-17-2015 on my future Rocket 3 roadster!

"Now you have the bike, you do understand that it is just the downpayment on the accessories." attachFull29025

idk, how well I know that to be true to my disdain! I have Farkled Sooooo many bikes to get them just perfect for me and then turn around and trade the bike in and get 10 cents on the dollar! I take the stuff off now before I trade in but give the private party the option of buying my bikes with accessories or without.

Here's what my R3 has: A very small but effective screen, the adjustable riders backrest and some really small but nice stiff leather saddlebags.

Here's what is probably next: An engine guard that can have highway pegs mounted on it. A small, low profile chrome or black luggage rack.

Maybe if I decide to tour on it, I will get a bigger windscreen.

I know I have a keeper when I turn around and stare at it every time I get off of it!

"Congratulations Porky ,don't ride around in Slacks and low cut shoes on your trotters some one will think you are a scooter rider who has stolen a Rocket "

Funny ken! I do have 2 Burgman 650's so I guess I'm a scooter guy too

Congrats on the new ride, you are going to love it!


I have a 25" clearview windscreen mounted to Triumph Roadster screen brackets if you are interested.....$220 and in great shape. You would still need the fixing mounts to the forks.

Also have Triumph lowers.....$40. Without the lowers the turbulence caused by the screen can be pretty annoying.

Goodonya Porky, good pick up. Seems like everyone that takes a test ride buys. Pretty good recommendation.

Hello Sam and welcome from Virginia. I enjoyed them Ozarks when we were there for RAAX in April/May. Even though you have the scooters, my buddy Bryan will tell you about wearing his car-salesman polyester slacks home from work when he met an Escape head on at 35MPH on his 14 R3R, stuff melts as one slides down the road evidently. Then again, since this is your 79th ride, I bet you may have heard that once before. Congratulations on your newest ride and I hope it serves your inner child well!

Congratulations and happy trails. I bought my R3 without even taking it for a spin. I saw it, I liked it, I bought it. No buyers remorse, either.
