2,300 cc Monster Bike
About 30 miles into a ride today I stopped off to grab some breakfast at a bar/restaurant type of place,sat at the bar and the owner of the 2,300 cc monster parked outside happened to be sittingon the next barstool over.
We got a chance to talk for a while,it was a 2000 Triumph Rocket,apparently only a couple of hundred of them were sold in the US that year.What a sight this thing was,there were several Harley Davidsons and then this huge Triumph looking like it arrived from another planet...

There's a guy who works over in theCarousel Center Mall in Syracuse who owns one and your right the thing is a monster.
When I asked himhow it wenthe said it goes really nice, but it can be a real handful if your not paying attention when you twist the throttle hard.

Too bad my breakfast arrived just a couple of minutes before the guy had to take off,I would have liked to walk out there and let him tell me more about it and hear the thing start up....

Not sure I would even want one, unless someone gave it too me.
After reading the write up on it I'm fairly sure that the only time I would take it out is to have some fun scareing the pants offsome of thekiddies on crotch rockets.
