I have owned Rockets since 2011 and am on my 3rd. Great bikes. Your scenery is spectacular, never been to the States. All the best brother from England.
I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to comment. Rockets are fantastic machines aren't they? I hope to one day ride one thru Europe. I'll be posting more rides, and maybe even venture into some moto vlogging so hope to see you around brother.
I rode a 2011 Rocket for 9 years before getting a new 2020 GT last summer. Great machines, they just eat up the miles. Nice video, great to see different parts of the country I've never been to.
@@triumph_cv I really like the new styling, you can tell Triumph put a lot of thought into it. Fit and finish are great! It shed about 88 lbs from the previous models, and I could tell just sitting on it and moving it back and forth it was lighter. This translates into a better responding machine, noticeably better on the twisties. The cruise control is VERY nice, never had that on a bike before, as well as the heated grips. Love the riding position; I'm 6"3", and the stretched out controls on the GT are much more comfortable for me. Shorter riders might prefer the "R". The cons are the gas tank is smaller, I have to hunt a gas station much earlier than before (if I don't stop on my own - I like to stretch my legs about every 90 minutes anyway, so not a real problem for me). I'd say I went from 185 miles on a fill to maybe 135 miles......something like that. The stock windshield, even on the GT, is not very substantial. Great for bar to bar cruising, but not great for day trips on the freeway. I got an aftermarket one as an improvement. AND, I don't find the power to be all that much more than my 2011. Which is plenty, don't get me wrong, but just not a lot of difference like I thought there'd be. Overall, I'm glad I traded up......gets a lot of comments from people who know their cycles.
I think me and one other dude make videos on the regular with the prev model Rocket3 (ZIEGLER MONSTER). I have many more coming so hopefully you stick around. :)
@@triumph_cv Have subbed ye. Ive seen some of ZIEGLER video's, But he has mostly gym training. The blokes a tank. I have a a few of my own, But on my other channel. 786philb. Not great, But i like watching them when i cant get out.
Nice Video and nice bike. But doesn,t it bore you going thousend and thousend miles straight? .you really should go to Europe once. Specially to Black Forrest maybe. Heaps of Turns. Brings you and your bike to another Level. Greetings and alltimes have a save and free ride.
I would love to ride in Europe one day. Perhaps do a tour by motorcycle and immerse myself in the scenery and different cultures. Thanks you for the words and visiting my video
Thanks for the friendly answer. If you ever make youre way to europe/germany . Feel invited. Love to show you around. Bikers need to stick toghether. Specially These days.
Loved the trip! Great video and keep up the good content!
I appreciate the kind words! Planning many more, along with some motovlogs and a long overdue walk-around vid on the Rocket. 🤘

I Love your music. can you list the artists?
Done. I think RUclips should auto-add credits. Threw them in the description until they pop up though.
