    Triumph Rocket 3

    Found a very good write up on the Rocket 3. Sounds like an awesome bike.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Nice work Marty.

    I happen to know that TNZ has good stocks at the moment too (ever so slightly too good perhaps). They are keen to sell a few - there might be some room in the advertised prices at the mo. Ask you dealer.

    Same with thruxtons.

    They're a mighty machine to ride. The ease of it all compared to my Roadking is so astounding. It weighs about the same as my bike, but the centre of gravity is so low, it feels so lite. I would love to have one, but the problem is the wife says no.( She's got half shares)

    Sell everything and buy a rocket...

    Hey, if you can get a good deal on the rocket then go for it. Low centre of gravity, cool name, cool power, cool looks, handles like a bike half it's weight, and apparently they can make your girlfriend horny, although I don't personally know your girlfriends.

    I just brought mine home, showed it to she who should be obeyed and lied about the price....It worked for me.
    It's a Rocket

    Strange that. My wife commented on the pleasant vibes.
