Will triumph developed the roadster any further

sooo,you agree with me that it is a niche bike, then you argue with me that anybody can ride it, "with a little practice, (and respect), therefore, take your "just plain wrong|" comment and eat it, I LOVE my monster,BUT I know, not everybody can ride it.........P.S., contrary to what you may have heard, not all Canadians are friendly,fucin idiot
 

You can call me an idiot if it makes you feel better about yourself. Doesn't bother me one bit.

The Rocket is a niche bike partly because of the misconception that you need some sort of special skill or ability to ride one and partly because a 2300cc bike isn't everyone's cup of tea. In Australia at least, annual registration is pretty much the same as for a car and so is fuel consumption and tyres aren't cheap. A lot of people buy bikes to save money. Also, Triumphs generally have not been on best seller lists. Just because it isn't actually as hard to ride as some people think doesn't mean more people will actually want one. No contradiction in anything I said.

Knock yourself out, brother.
 


with a sign off like "Life is all about finding people who are your kind of CRAZY" i reckon it is pretty obvious who the ****in idiot is.
 
Tangs sister-in-law was told to "find another Godfather for your son" when told Tang had bought a Rocket 3. "Rocket 3"s are deadly and kill a lot of blokes that buy them" .. this ***cin stupid statement was made by a Bonnie rider. What a dickhead. By the way Tangs 6 foot 6 inches tall and weighs 140 kilos, been riding fast motorbikes all his life. If this is the info fellow Triumph riders are spreading little wonder Rockets aren't selling better than they are.
 
Speaking of the Rocket as a niche bike, I think the actual stock power numbers do scare folks. People always ask about the numbers, of course, and I'd had several seasoned Harley guys say 'whoa, that would scare me' when hearing about the Rocket's HP and torque. As we know, there's a massive difference between spending big bucks to almost or barley achieve 100hp and what our Rockets put out stock.

Are we on to another t-shirt idea here? Maybe I'll try out the phrase at next local Harley/bike event: "Harley Davidson is for those who wish for more wind in their vagina."

On second thought, maybe I'll stick to my more usual "Harley's.... beautiful bikes.... even owned one prior to the Triumph.... cool skulls ya got there.... "
