Owning a '17 R3 (2300cc) and then jumping on a TFC version of the new rocket, the difference is insane. I thought you couldn't get any better than what they had but they far surpassed all expectations
A little constructive criticism if you don't mind. It would be nice if you could explain how the bikes perform when you do these type of rides. Suspension, brakes, handling, etc. All I learned about this bike is that it has a huge engine and it feels comfortable. Thanks in advance!
Wow , so great to see a woman riding such a huge monster. Proving all the tough guys wrong. You're a rockstar !!
@whiteAfrikkkanNun Yep, you can definately tell that the "man" within him has been "ceased and desisted" by the simp mangino syndrome....lol🤣..the force of the simp is strong with this boy....lol...Lesson #1: congratulate her for a job well done, but DO NOT put her so high on a pedestal that you start treating her like a "rock star", because at that point she'll simply start treating you like a fan....🤔
Love the sound of the Rocket 3 rumble under acceleration. The old Rocket 3 would do 100+ in 3 and once you shifted into 4th you really needed to hold on tight. I really enjoyed this video, nice work.
And that is exactly the reason why I don't ride in big groups I'm glad you didn't run the red light ,we still need you
I too have an issue riding in large groups - they are often in a hurry and go really fast to nowhere. Instead of enjoying the ride, it seems groups like to rush through the ride. Also, I noticed that you are riding kinda hunched and not erect with your back. Look at how cops ride, they ride with their back pretty straight - which allows for quicker response to necessary maneuvering and handling of the bike in the event of road debris and autos that can cause accidents. If you ride a cruiser that is the biggest difference I've noticed in the riding style over sportbike riders. I grew up in the area you were riding in and also went to the Univ there in Tucson. I ride a Roadking and BMW R1200 RT and love 'em both dearly. I enjoyed your commentary whilst riding and love how you keep your eyes ahead of you on the curved roads. Stay and ride safe and look ahead! thank you for sharing!
What a bike. What a bike. I have a GT version. The Triumph designers should get an award for this engineering.
thanks for sharing your "Triumph Experience", Jess!
"Ridin' Off The Rails On This Crazy Train" .. Great theme song for this bike.... Cheers! Lol!
I wish I could double like this. Arizona is stunning. Moved here from Oregon, and can't leave. Incredible motorcycling and central location to get to beautiful motorcycling roads and views. You just dipped your toe in the water. The trees and climate are here, Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff, the White Mountains. Down the hwy 60 through the gorge, between Globe and Show Low, Devils Hwy, Route 66, Oatman, Lake Havasu to Parker along the Colorado river, Tombstone, etc, etc.
Riding conservatively, and stopping for Every stop light, shows that you are a Professional Rider/Biker. 😀😀👍👍 You ride your bike the same safe maner you would drive a loaded semi-truck, and that will always earn high praises from me. 😀😀 I would always feel so safe riding with you. 🙂 Just enjoying the ride and scenery with your own thoughts, is the most relaxing. I really enjoy your channel, gives me lots of ideas for my second RUclips channel. 🙂
Thank you! Yeah I don't feel the temptation of "running with the pack"
@@HerTwoWheels, me neither. 😕 I ran with "The Pack" of other Harley riders way back in the day, 2006-2008. They usually treated it like a land speed race, and I found myself outside my comfort zone at 70-75+ with my Sportster. 🙁 I didn't care for that much, and being left behind. So I took to my own pace. 🙂 Anyway, I always had forward controls with my Harley, definitely made a difference in comfort. Try them with your Dyna! 😀
I've always avoided the big group. 6 or so is my limit. I don't go on longer trips. I like to go sportster around. Year's ago, I was asked why I don't ride my bikes to work, I said "Kinda takes the sport, outa Sportster. "
With that said, you ran a stop sign less than a minute into the video.
"This thing feels like I'm sitting on a rocket ship". Never a more appropriate comment! This bike is indeed the size of a ship, with the speed of a rocket.....Bib, England. Rainy England.
I prefer riding alone as well. If I didn't love HD so much, I would seriously consider the Rocket for my next bike. Riding out west is for sure on my bucket list.
"I really enjoy tree's and grass a lot" That was funny, but very true! (; Great video!!
I am from Ontario, Canada and have had some of the best rides of my life around Arizona.My brother lives in Vegas so I have rented a new Harley almost every time I went there and we did Vegas, Arizona and California. Beautiful rides through the mountains and along the ocean. I appreciate how well you handled that beast of a bike. I am a short guy so I don't think I could get it off the kickstand.
Damn that bike is way too quiet stock. I don't like loud loud bikes, but I like for people to hear me when I rev a little bit.
Your little giggle makes me chuckle every time. I love it
You review is the best review I have watched when it comes to conveying the essence of what it actually feels like to ride. Sure, we generally need to know the statistics, but to feel the soul of the bike is (in my opinion) what riding a bike is truly about. Thank you.
When the group ride starts with everyone rolling through the “suggestion” 🛑 sign while turning left 😆
LOL!! I much prefer riding alone too - unless I’m riding in a group and I get dropped. That was hilarious. Thanks for sharing your experience. How cool.
"I'll just have to suck it up. Still warmer than Ohio" lol. Truth. The Southern based Riders must have been freezing.
Was out in Tuson a couple years ago. It is incredibly beautiful. Going to Tombstone we had to through the checkpoint. Great video.
Great video. Jess would you trade your Harley for the Rocket? Love hearing your laughter. Ride safe!!
You drove trough Sierra Vista? I used to live there for 10 years. Arizona is just beautiful
Cool to see @DoodleOnAMotorcycle. I was watching this and thought it looked like the same event. The Rocket III looks like a lot of fun. I think I would prefer the mid control version, I don't like forward pegs, too hard to stand up over rough bumps.
Hi! Thanks for sharing part II! I am in love with Triumph and it’s great to get the insight of someone that has never ridden the brand before. Happy that you had a safe and exciting trip! Looking forward to your next post. Be well & safe travels!
I'm a sport bike kinda girl, but gosh DANG those are some BEAUTIFUL bikes!! What a beautiful, beautiful ride, too!! Hope you had the best time. So happy for you!!
When you are far far away from home but your on your Rocket III and it seems like your just around the block !
We ride in groups a lot and often have someone get caught by a light and we either slow down or stop in a median. Great ride. 😎😎
i just got my first rocket just 3 months ago. it's a 2005 with stage 1 chip, intake, exhaust. you're right, these things are just BEASTS!! I got mine up to 150mph once. whoooo, man it was amazing.
don't you just love riding a bike with that torque?
Hey you'll have to let me know if you get one. I get around the country, maybe we'll be in the same place one day. i don't know, just a thought. I need a new riding buddy.
I just moved to Phoenix and I love the desert view. There are plenty of areas with trees and grass, but I love the mountains, plateaus and cactus vibe of the place.
Looks like you took hwy 83 towards Sonoita, its definitely more enjoyable when not having to worry about others, especially through the twisties. Beautiful ride through the country though. 😊
Yeah, the GT is our kind of bike. Thinking of buying it. My only issue is the controls. They are too close to the bike. I got to twist my feet in in order to brake or to shift. Can’t wait to get my bike out tough. Here in Montreal is to cold. Still snow and cold weather to come. Can’t ligaly take it out before the 15th of March anyway.
The Rocket 3 is a thing of art. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can go test ride one.
Those darn Canadians, always trying to sneak into Mexico :)) Looks like an excellent adventure in the desert. That Rocket 3 is a beast! Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful bike and a beast for certain, in the top five fasted cruisers out there.
I like the rocket 3, but the rear of the new one is more of a sport bike style, kinda like the Harley fxdr. Not a big fan, myself. However, the older ones like the one Shadetree Surgeon rides, is awesome. Glad you had a blast, I know I would have.
Glad you liked it. They are way too big for my shortness but I get by on a Bonneville Bobber
I have owned my rocket 3R for a little over a year. I’ve done cruises, curves, long rides and short rides. The bike does everything that I want to do. People always come up and ask me about how fast it is, but there’s so much more to that bike than just the speed, it is truly a riding experience. I have not ever ridden the GT version of the rocket and I saw that you rode the demo of the GT. I was just curious how you felt at the end of the ride, if it was still comfortable or you were at your limit for riding it that day.
Would have been good to hear a lot more about the Rocket! I'm very pleased with mine :-D
I love AZ. I will be retiring there. I only visited it for 4 days last May, but fell in love with it. Rode only 1 day there, but NEED to go back!! Deserts are magical. The beauty of them doesnt come through in pics and video-its something you have to experience in person.
Great job riding that 2500.. looks like a fun trip!
Keyless bikes... a solution for a problem that never existed! Also I love that you didn't run the light it's not worth it. Great videos, amazing views!
yeah, if it were just a smidge red I would have done it, but the fact that almost 8 people inform of me ran it while it was 100% red, I was like "yeeeeah... I'll just stop" haha
A smidge red means someone had a smidge green and is accelerating...js
Wow! That looks like my old neighborhood while living in Phoenix, Litchfield Park actually. From my condo to the White Tank Mountains, about 45 minutes, I would ride to the top of one of the higher mountains. I bought an '81 Yamaha 850 Midnight Special for $1000 at a garage sale; and sold it in Maui, HI, for three grand. I would sit there, make a cup of coffee and eat a bento type meal. Timing the ride became perfect after a couple rides I would sit on the mountain as the sun set. Arizona offers spectacular sun sets (most likely due to the air pollution in Southern California). If you ever return to Phoenix, AZ, take Hwy 60 to Hwy 89, stay on 89 through Prescott, Jerome, Cottonwood, Sedona...OMG, it's a rider's dream...then onto 89A to eat dinner in Flagstaff and return on I-17. Make sure you take an extra layer or two for the trip down the mountains. I learned that the hard way.
I have a feeling that rocket 3 would get me from 0 to the scene of the crash in a big hurry. Looks like a fun way to go though. You did great with your coverage! When you have beautiful surroundings sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing. We’re living vicariously through you. Glad they invited you and you were able to go. I can’t wait to take on the badlands and black hills this summer. Before sturgis of course.
This video was a nice surprise! Although it did contribute to making me late to work 😬
Very cool...!! Looks like a really nice bike. It would be the Bonneville for me. Just an old-school dude. Glad you had a good time. That rushing around would killed this old man. LOL 😎
The Bonneville's are beautiful!
Nice video. I did a similar ride on a Rocket GT and it was a great ride, especially in the mountains. But overall I'm really disappointed in it. True, more BHP and torque than you'd ever need off the track, but it definitely needs an exhaust upgrade, double clocks (like the Speed Twin) would be appreciated, and it throws water up your back in the rain (somehow even through the sissy bar). But worst of all, after watching this bike for a couple of years, I don't think there's another that loses value faster. IMHO the Thunderbird Storm is still their best performance cruiser.
Rocket 3 is nice. Not just about the motor but all the modern features.
I would love to give the rocket 3 a try.....and the tiger....and the street triple. I have a problem lol
It's only a problem if you admit it! haha!
@@HerTwoWheels LOL I fully admit it!!!
Looks like Triumph made significant changes to the Rocket. I would like to see Triumph take this engine and make a full touring machine. I would rally consider that for my next bike. Looks like you are enjoying Arizona. AR is a bit too hot for me in the summer, but has great scenery. My wife and I have lived in five USA states and Paris, France. Nothing like living in different areas to experience different approaches to life. Thanks for posting. Ride safe.
It seems like a nice ride you are enjoying the open air, I like the way you don't get rocked very easy when things don't go right, because shit happens.
YAS! Day 2! :D
lol I am the opposite, I love my Honda Shadow, but the forward controls just kills my lower back lol I feel like I'm folded in half XD I'm very much a mid controls girl ;) The stock Tiger def makes you lean forward a bit, but Risers normally fix that problem.
lolling at you AND Steve Kamrad getting lost XD
Thanks for taking us along!
PS. GIRL we need to do like a Lady Motovlogger Death Valley or Mojave "Winter Trip" in the future lol it is SO beautiful and it's like the perfect temperature Late Feb/Early March
UHM YES PLS!
That bike seems so smooth and very torque 👍 made in hinckley uk 🇬🇧 ps it's great to see you Americans keeping the triumph name going
I am so glad that Triumph and Indian are doing well. Iconic brands both and reintroduced to the market in such a spot on blend of technology and classic nostalgia. Too bad about Norton.
Bravo again!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Even with a couple of hiccups at the end you still kicked ass. Great job girl.
The Triumph Rocket 3 is a polarizing piece of craftsmanship. The bike is much lighter than expected. Triumph has been hitting it out of the ballpark with their bikes. Competition drives the whole industry. Lots of choices.
yes! And i wasn't afraid to rip the throttle! The bike always felt planted and just TOOK OFF!
That is a lovely looking Triumph bike! I'll have to test ride one soon!!
nice job handling that motorcycle; i have had my 2014' Rocket III Roadster since 2015 and it has been an awesome bike the newer one here has the same torque but more horsepower and is lighter but I still prefer the original- it sounds better and looks better in my view. The engine is absolutely flawless that inline triple is like riding a bull. Anyone looking for a good bike recommendation- You just can't go wrong with owning a Triumph- performance and styling and affordable.
harley fatboy and triumph rocket 3 are my only favrate bikes in the world it satisfies my cruiser head
Big beauty eh!? I tried a test at local T dealer here in Scotland, was an experience ! Great video. Subbed ! 👍🏼
Well it’s starting to get spring time here now in Indiana. Pretty soon I would be riding. Maybe one day a couple of us could meet up for a group ride
Always valuables in a zippered pocket. G forces will empty your pockets pronto! Keyless sucks. What’s the point except expensive replacements....
plz do a review of new harley fatboy 107 or 114 and what u liked about it
I've never understood how people can see the "beauty" of living out there. I was stationed in Albuquerque, NM for a time and my little brother was stationed in Phoenix, AZ for a period as well. Coming from northeastern Indiana, neither of us cared for it. The other thing I didn't care for was that it seemed to take FOREVER to get anywhere! I guess because there's just nothing in between Point A and B. Though it probably wouldn't take QUITE as long on a 2500cc Rocket! WOW! I thought my Yamaha Eluder was big at almost 1900cc! Not sure if it's her, but Doodle went through several bikes and failed MSF classes in a short period a few years ago. I stopped watching her 'cause I felt like she was just trying too hard to be vlogger and not the safest person on two wheels. Maybe that's all changed now. Peace and love.
She was with me, she posted a video about the trip as well
@@HerTwoWheels - I just checked. Yep, that's her. Seriously, some of her first videos a few years ago were very concerning. Looks like maybe she sorted everything out. I really felt scared for her safety. Glad she's still with us.
If you like those mountains you will love Switzerland.
Very inspirational. Keep riding!!!!
Keep on doing what you do!
WAW WAW hey you nice girl waw you did it !! nice to see your skills and courage to get on that monster !!! very good nice video !! yes that bike is THE only one mega bike ! (yeah, I do NOT think about the Boss Hoss, that is not a bike any longer ..... lol) ... I had one, the new 2012 R3Roadster till 2015 and I had the best most fantastic times of my bikers life (I am 72 now and would like to have the new one !!) .... that bike is a nice monster, a brute one but so cool and zen because so balanced and reassuring !! just be the one in full control, do not think it is a toy !! this bike pushes you into the one only present moment, you no longer think about futur and past, just the NOW zen moment of real life !!!
georgeR3Roadster Get one !😀
great video, this seems like the perfect motorcycle for cruising.
i approached triumph in atlanta to see if they would want to sponsor me riding around the country with several cameras live streaming to a website, but alas, they said not at this time and not on an '05. I was like, dude, put me on a 2020. but then this virus stuff started, sooo.......
I just love riding, would love to do it for a living. I once went right through hurricane Isaac down here when it hit baton rouge. missed the eye by about 15 miles.(on an 03 honda shadow spirit 750)
I was in Phoenix in March and I just love it there.i would love to live there and I'm from Indiana
Looks like you had a wonderful time and such an great experience. I've only rode Harley's and one weekend a Honda Shadow during the MSF course. You need to visit Colorado to see mountains!
Great review - cruisers make so much on those long, pretty straight roads. Nice accent 👍
I loved the Rocket 3, rode it first. Then the Street Triple Rs felt like my Honda grom’s power
I love Arizona so jealous of your opportunity
I have a large 500 stroke engine baby. Giggity Giggity alriiight. 🤣😂🤣 I'm here all week folks.
Nice video, but such an incredibly tame 'immersion' experience. All the flatness left me wanting to see some real riding and how the bikes handle and perform. Maybe next time Triumph will add some actual terrain, like a few hills and going 'round some twisties and maybe getting on it here and there. Such a capable beast of a bike, and they make you ride carefully across a flat patch of desert... Sure, I get it... new people on new bikes, so let's be super safe; but I've GOT to have some spirited fun in my riding :-). Glad you at least got a feel for the R3 first hand.
I've had the opportunity to live in many places around the world, but Arizona holds a special place in my heart. I especially love the Payson/ mogollion rim area, if I could I would live there! Just FYI I am originally from South West Michigan, but no longer live there.
I absolutely love this rider!!! Such as nice down to earth collage of pure riding and nature.
Going back to watch your older Videos
16:25 😂😂😂 You're too funny! I get why everyone is talking about you! Super entertaining! 💪🔥👍🤘
Always loved the Rocket III
If you like riding in the mountains, y’all need to drive a couple hours East of where you live and ride the “laurel mountains” of PA. Granted, nothing like you saw in AZ, but still nice riding!
Liked the video but but as a English man wanted to see more of the bike👍🇬🇧❤️
I live in Phoenix I’m glad you enjoyed your trip here . If you ever come back again leave time to to take a trip to Sedona and Flagstaff. And other areas north of Phoenix.
This bike is cool...I will need to have a good key chain so I don't lose so thnx for tip..
Great review..cheers from New Zealand!😊
your key didnt fall out .. its a common problem on the rocket, key loosing signal with the ecu...
Congratulations! Triumph made a good choice selecting you! Glad you enjoyed it!
You should have gone up Mt Lemmon, although there can be snow that time of year. I live a couple hours north in Fountain Hills. If you want trees, go north to Flagstaff or up on Mogollon Rim. Which is Pine/ Strawberry Happy Jack, Clint's Wells, etc. Trees up there, altitude too. A good place to go in the summer when the valley heats up. 30 degrees cooler up north.
I did! check out this video! ruclips.net/video/5dQjKp624a4/видео.html
@@HerTwoWheels Thanks!
Wheyy 🚀🚀🇬🇧🇬🇧Looks like you enjoyed it and still have everything still attached #holdon! 😂
Hi! I am from Brazil. Thanks for sharing your riding. Rockt 3 is a monster! I loved it!
I've ridden the old rocket owned a small block boss hoss but this new rocket is for me way better. i'm only 5'7" tall with out boots and its not a problem for me, both feet flat on the floor unlike my old speed triple !
Very cool you made it to Az I live in the southern part one of my favorite rides is down south to Tombstone then over to Nogales I ride on a Road King.
Hi: can you get a more touring windshield for the rocket?...I like taking long state to state ride, and like a bigger shield. I see you ran into Doodle, I'm a dude, but I on her channel also. I hope you get called for more sponsorship rides!... God bless you 😇.
I'm not sure! especially since this is a brand new bike, not sure if modifications are available yet. Doodle was a Gem! I'm so glad we got to meet! Thanks for the comment!
The audio in this video, is absolutely stunning!!!!
Stupendous adventure out in Az on that Rocket3! Loved all your narrative on your ride and I can so relate to the aversion of regular group rides and how dangerous they could become. I'm with you on the red light running. It's not worth your life to stay with the pack and it would be your fault if you got hit. Stay safe!
I'm glad I watched this video . I cant believe how clear you sound in your biltwell , I've been debating on getting bluetooth setup for mine and hearing how clear you are I can finally say I'm getting one
I record separately from my com system. But I would never ride without my sena now that I have one!
That’s a serious motorcycle test ride. Sure beats a 10 minute dealer ride 😎😎
Yes! I have been to a few demo days, but this immersion event was phenomenal!
Jess, great job handling the Rocket 3. I saw you in Doodle’s video on Friday. The Triumph Immersion looked like a great success and lots of fun. Not sure I’d want to live in Arizona they have Scorpions and Rattlers. Living where the air stings your face seems like a better place.
Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it !
The rocket is my dream bike. That or a thunderbird storm. At 5'5" its a difficult choice. And the Yorkshire weather doesn't help lol
WTH !!!!!! That thang looks Angry asl !!!!!
