..........and it's not a Harley roll
The search for another bike ended tonight. The BMW is sold and been replaced by a Triumph Rocket 111. And boy, this is a big one. Engine cc is 2300 with a lot of oomph mrgreen
The dealership were not prepared for the bartering we did to get the deal we wanted and the salesman admitted to enjoying the games. Only trouble was there was another Brit about to buy one as well and he took over where we left off!
I'll post pics soon. Just need to drag the old man out of the garage where he is busy drooling over his new toy wink
Very nice.
I saw one in the Triumph store about a year ago and another in town the end of summer last year.
The guy was pretty impressed with it.
Way too big for the likes of me.
I've been drooling over the Triumph Americana, that I will own one of these days.
My new toy is an Arctic Cat 650 V2 4x4 automatic ATV in Arctic Green.
What a monster.

Ohh, nice toy Wendy. Love the colour :mrgreen:
This is mine.
Sorry to hijack your thread.
Where's the pic of the new bike?
Looks fun Wendy. A lot of the farmers around where I live use these to zip about in their fields.
Do you just use it for fun or working around your property as well?
Police around here use them to get through the floods....
Around here they use them for gardening, plowing, going to a friends/store, forestry patrols and of course playing on.
Need to find a nice plow to go on it now and I'll be all set for the winter.

This is a picture of the model, as soon as I have time I'll take some pictures of our bike and post them. We have a lot of extras, after market seat (which is a lot more comfortable) sissy bar and luggage rack and also after market pipes and windshield and engine guards. We have the black model which I preferred over the grey or blue and we ordered some leather saddle bags as well. Can't wait to ride it but due to my foot being in a cast right now (two fractured bones from my accident I mentioned a few weeks ago) I will have to wait a while before I hop on the back
I wish him good luck with it, there's enouigh bike there to scare the hell out of me. I rode a black shadow once and decided I didn't really want one after all. That triumph weighs more than 700lbs, I'd need a jack to lift it if I had to lay it down shock
Not a bike person myself either but it looks very impressive and (to my uneducated eye) classier than a Harley.
I'm extremely jealous. I may actually have to drive down to the coast and see this thing.
