My new Toy / Triumph Rocket III Roadster!

Jjaden · 05-12-2011, 01:59 PM

Just picked up the Rocket III Roadster at the dealership an hour ago.

I ordered in back in early Feb, in Matte Black. Triumph shipped it here to Canada in the last week of March in Gloss Black and pressured me to just take it as is.

I refused to accept delivery and told they to cancel my order, because it wasn't what I ordered and I would buy the bike in America.

Apparently Triumph didn't fullfill any orders of their Matte Black and tried this bullshiz on every customer in Canada who ordered the 2011 Matte Black option.

So after weeks of back and forth Triumph agreed to send a brand new Matte Black chasis from the factory which arrived on Monday and was installed this week.

It was a long wait and a lot of patience but in the end, well worth it!

Yup, that's pretty much what I'm thinking. Z in rain or at night. Bike rest of the time.

Best part is the GF rides a Harley, so we can cruise together, just makes it more enjoyable.

That is one magnificent bike. Best of luck with it!
