Newbie with his lil' scoot from Pensacola, Florida.

#1 Unread post by Jimbeamrye »

Hello Everyone!

I have found your site full of great info! Hope to add useful info also! My name is John and I'm from Pensacola, Florida. My current ride is 2007 Triumph Rocket III. If you ask why I bought such a large bike with a 2.3 litre engine(2294cc's) under me, I will have to say that since my wife rides with me 80 % of the time, I wanted something that would not only transport us both in comfort for hundreds of miles between fill-ups, but accelerate us both like a crotch-rocket. As long as I can keep the front wheel down, we both can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.7 seconds. By myself, around 3 seconds. The wife loves the power and the comfort, and she's the one usually nugging me in the back to give other bikes a run for their money! This bike is heavy, not meant to fly into corners, but it will hold its own against other cruisers.

Hope to post often here. Thanks again and be careful out there.
John
