Featured Rocket New Bike!

Collected my new Rocket GT today i had put a deposit on it last year as it was on special offer, love it handles great, like a Speed Triple but on steroids,got a lift up to Aberdeen for it (about 70 miles) weirdly i got lost on the way home 180 miles

 

Very cool Dougie hopefully we're aloud out more soon and you can get more break in miles on it

 

Ps. Thats the nicest rear wheel I've ever seen on a bike!

 

Nice bike and great pictures. Congratulations.

 

For a standard wheel it's the best I've seen too

 

Spot on Dougie lovely bike great pictures enjoy it mate, congrats and very jealous indeed.

 

Cheers Tez,i'd sold my Harley privately last November and i had made my mind up I'd get a newer version of the Fatboy, then i started looking at the Rocket and the Aberdeen dealer had one with 2k off the list price, I'd checked all the other dealers and nobody else had them reduced so that kind off sealed the deal for me

 

That's such a nice bike.
Feel a bit embarrassed not knowing it had a single sided swingarm tho.

 

Nice bike an superb photos - well, all but the one of the car park, which lets things down...

Edit: I must try to do a bike trip around the pretty bits, but not in the midge or rainy seasons.

 

Yep , Home via Aboyne , Braemar is the long way home , hope they cleared all the salt off the road at Glenshee for you

 

Nice one Dougie - great photos (and decent weather)!

 

What a mean lookin bike. Love it.

 

WOW!!! Congratulations on that new Rocket 3, Dougie! It's a beauty...AND a beast. I'm really happy and excited for you. Thanks for sharing the photos and your story about how you wound up with this bad boy. Looking forward to even more stories and photos in the future. Enjoy!

 

Great bike Dougie. Enjoy !!!

 

Impressive bike! Congrats

 

Very nice Dougie, I have to tell myself it’s too heavy congratulations on your Triumph

 

Very smart, Dougie!

 

Didn't seem to be any salt left on the road,i think all the rain the other week would have got rid of most of it.for me taking the Braemar road would normally only be 20 miles more than going up the A90 but as you know it's a brilliant road..but as i got near home i got lost and ended up going over the Moulin Moor to Pitlochry then along by Queens view to Aberfeldy, Dunkeld and home

 

Yes I remember how easy you get lost. I remember you wandering the hotel one night looking for a toilet. Eventually you stumbled upon reception who told you there was a toilet in your room. Sorry for telling this but you've got a rocket and I haven't. In your defence though I must say this was after a night drinking with Dilligaf.

 

If i remember ..which i don't really we started on doubles and ended up on trebles i also have a vague recollection of needing help to get my boots off before collapsing into my bed..it was a good night though
