Looks like I have to go to Salt Lake or Boise. The Missoula, MT, dealer is not "participating."

As expected neither the Daytona nor Orlando dealers are participating. Might be time for that long awaited trip down to Pure Triumph. Moe, Tom, Phil???

Wish I could be with you, but way too busy at this time of year. However, that doesn't mean that I can't head down and back for a little demo.

Bogarts in Birmingham is participating, and I rode my only Rocket there. Fly down here, we can go ride one together.
Surely, one of us will win a new R3.

Rode one today at the Honda Hoot. Got my official Triumph stamp on the entry form.
Looks like the contest is over, I'm sure I'll be the winner

It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

I rode one a couple years ago. Phenomenal. While I would not give up my TBA, I'd add a Rocket III to my garage in a heartbeat if I had the cash. Not going into debt to get one, thought, not anytime soon.

He's funning you.

From the flyer (which needs to be downloaded, printed, and filled out):

Test ride any model of the highly acclaimed Rocket III family before September 30 for your chance to win a Rocket III Classic!
