No worries, enjoy as you are still riding, no matter what bike you own.

Will still give you two fingers down if I pass you going the other way.

Cool bike. Those Rockets are absolutely that - A ROCKET.
Safe riding and enjoy the new machine.
Just because you don't have an HD, you are always welcome here by most of us. There are a few of us that also have Triumphs.

Awesome ride. Enjoy
take the “Harley is the only marque worth anything” on this forum with the proverbial grain of salt

Congratulation on your new ride. I had one of these back in the 70's;

My Triumph riding days were on this...

It is quite possibly the reason for my back pain!

Enjoy the new bike.

Congrats. Hope it works out. Looks like miles of smiles on that beast.

I never understood why they don't make a touring model on that platform. That would be useful, to me.

But hey, there's a market for riders who only want wheels and a seat bolted to a big engine and Triumph knows that market. Enjoy!

They do or did have a model of Rocket with a full fairing and bags. Had an excellent feel to it, kind of cruiser / Harley / Mega power attitude.
