Brand new 2012 model with full warranty, big discount, $500 accessory credit and the dealers storing it till spring for me..... I don't think I can wait that long. My wife and I were in Ottawa visiting my son and I ended up in the Triumph dealership sitting on a 2014 Rocket. Not turned on by the blacked out matt black model with stripes and preferring the chromed ones I asked if there were any earlier models to which he said there were none in Ontario. Well I found one in London. Gave them a call and they were clearing it out to make room for the new stock. Made the deal over the phone sight unseen. The pictures were taken by the dealer. I'll be going down to see it when I go down for the bike show at the start of the year in Toronto. I hate winter......did I say......I hate winter. Man am I pumped. 12 Rocket Roadster 03 Bonneville America 69 BSA Firebird Scrambler 73 Yamaha TX 750

You are a lucky man Greg, Every Xmas morning I race out to check the garage to see if the 1700cc Storm has been delivered but the fat man in red seems not able to find my place. Have a great Xmas and New Year and safe riding when you do get on the road. The mighty BA is still sitting there though so I can not grumble.

I know....and it's driving me nuts. With my luck, this spring will probably be the latest ever. We already had record cold temps over the last week along with a pile of snow. I didn't make it down to the bike show in Toronto this weekend. -40C last Thursday and Friday along with a snow storm Saturday caused us to reconsider the trip and stay home. I really wanted to sit on my bike in London. 12 Rocket Roadster 03 Bonneville America 69 BSA Firebird Scrambler 73 Yamaha TX 750
