    Today I had an appointment at my dealer for the 1.000 km Service with my Rocket.
    In the morning at 0500 I started my office ride with 5 to 8 degree celsius with dry weather. At 1000 I clock it started to rain. :confused: At 1115 I started my 170 km tour to my dealer through 3 Austrian provinces. It was really ugly to ride. Hard rain, lots of wind and partly flooded streets. After 1,5 hours I arrived at my dealer and they started the maintainance. After one hour I payed €260.- and left back home for another 100 km with hard rain.again. :rolleyes:
    Today my Quick Shifter was activated and my headlights had to be adjusted according to the "moon direction" they were installed by Triumph in the factory. :rolleyes:
    In sum I did 340 "interesting" kilometres on my Rocket. She performed very well. I am really enjoying this bike. Also in bad weather it performs very well. BUT: On the following photos you can find/see the results of my today's rides.:confused: I will have lots of work this weekend! :p
    Beside I was able to test my Oxford bike clothes under extreme conditions and they also performed very well :)

    Stormi's original look is back. ;)
    After cleaning/laundring all of my yesterdays used equipment I took her to a petrol station. I am fine with the result.:)

    @Bikerman: It was like a jump into a pool without any swimming skills. But she performed well.;)

    @Markus Yes that tested the bike in dirty conditions. Seems you were pleased with the machine. But if we could change places for the last week i would gladly swap wit you and clean the bike like new for you. I got a call Thursday to say my Brother had passed away. He and i were very close and i am feeling very confused as he was younger than i.

    @Markus Sorry i butted in on your topic especially when i tell others not to do. But just not myself. And your bike i do say got christened. Even more than the good old British weather. But apparently Blighty has a good week coming well warmer week next week.
