Buying a Triumph Rocket 3


Oh  my ... the 2.3 or the newer 2.5l models

Sat on a few of them and they certainly have my interest

The 2.3. I would dearly love the to have the 2.5 but way out of my price range.

Years ago I had one for a afternoon as a demo. Man alive it is a machine.

I had a meeting in town this evening, managed to come through a little earlier and headed up Signal Hill.

It was spectacular up there.

If you were in a car though, I pity you. Traffic was basically standing still and there was no parking. Not a problem for the HD though.

I went for a short ride along the coast road. Riding through Camps Bay to get there was hell. Traffic was chock-a-bloc and the are was as crowded as can be. Christmas has come early..

Is it maybe the perspective, or my eyes, or is that front end SUPER raked out??
Looks out of proportion......

Your eyes are not deceiving you - my friend said the same thing to me the other day we went for a ride.

All I can think of is that I need to readjust the rear shock since it was set up according to the previous owner who was heavier than me.

The rear shock is not OEM, it was built by a guy in Cape Town, so maybe I should visit him to tune it according to my weight and height.

Have you been doing some skelm purchasing? Howcome your Nomad bag is bigger once you reach Darling than it was when you stopped for petrol?

 

:D

No skelm purchasing this time haha.

I think it is the wind that changed the form of the bag, was a bit windy as well on Klipheuwel going through all the way to Malmesbury.
