    My name is Jan, I live in the Dutchlands. Yesterday I signed for my first triumph, the Rocket TFC. Not sure which number, it doesn't say on the order. Got it at Roke's in Mijdrecht.

    Haven't driven a single kilometer yet, did ride the old one. But for good measure I got them to fire it up right there in the showroom. What a sound. It has 680 km, 450 miles. The previous owner didn't like it. Soit. I fully intend putting on at least 300.000km, this one should last me until I'm old and weary.


    It's gonna be a looooong wait, the coming 2 weeks. Anybody from my area in here?

    Welcome to the family. Great beastie those Rockets. And if you are buying the beer we can all be local to you. Do enjoy the Rocket when it arrives. Don't forget to hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show the inmates the beastie. Well when you can get of it and stop grinning so it may take a while.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.

    Thanks all for the welcome, will definitely upload stuff asap. Beers are always free in Rotterdam, wherever you go, didn't you know that? At least for those who - at the signal- run to their bike and haul off the fastest. Loser gets stuck with the bill, just a little tradition we have around here.

    Hello and a warm welcome to the looney house Jan! I’m living in the Netherlands as well, nearby Alkmaar. Own a speed triple rs 2019, and enjoying every kilometer on it. Hope weather is better again in two weeks so you can start with your first 300,000 kilometers. Drive safe!
