• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2020 Rocket 3

I don't want one, but I love it for what it is. I did have a 2014 Triumph 1200 Trophy SE. It was an amazing bike and we put 80,000 miles on it before going to the Spyder. Triumph builds some great machines.

I rode a Rocket 3 and loved it. If I didn't already have a Royal Star Tour Deluxe on order I would have bought it.
 
I think it will be one heck of a bike. Lamont has one on order and should be giving us a real world review in a few weeks. I think it is just a nitch market and only has about 2 other competitors. The Yamaha Vmax, and the Ducatti Diavel. I hope they do a true comparison of the 3. I think either way, the driver will make all the difference, although the Ducatti will have an advantage in the curves. Still should be interesting.
 
The Rocket is a special bike. I "almost" bought one until the dealer had me sit on it and start it up. A zap on the throttle and that baby leaned way over just from the torque. I said, this one is to "mean" for me. Went and bought a Vulcan 2000 instead.

That's a pity cos it's a big, soft bear to ride - I own one. However, I'm aware it could tear my head off if I get it wrong!
Riding the new one on Jan 8th. No tourer available yet, though.

I hope he does. It's one of those bikes you see as a poster in a boy's room next to the Ferrari. Here are some cool pix
