- Hey Everyone,
My friend Lucia and I decided to take the Triumph's out on one of the wettest days possible!
I was on the Rocket 3R and Lucia was on the Bonny T120.
Come along with me whilst I share my current thoughts on the beast.
I hope you enjoy it!

Buxton to Bakewell first section of a6 is great in sunshine and clear 👌🏻
Hey Kate. Your starting point is actually called Doveholes, not Love Holes. Although it does still sound a bit suspect 😮
Lol, that comment was hilarious, wish I'd come up with it! Great work Kate, what a treat to ride a Rocket 3r...oh well one day...
😂
I like Love Holes 👍🏻
Somebody has been winding you up , I love it 😂. Great content as usual so good to watch.
I knew those roads in Buxton! Great to see someone enjoying the rocket as much as I do on my local roads! Just waiting for mine Rocket 3 R to come back having been hit and run on snakes pass! Due back on the 10th of March and I can't wait! Great videos! Thank you!
Good riding weather Kate, it was -25.4 C here this morning and more snow on the level higher that most knees.
Glad you enjoyed the R3. I always enjoy your riding commentary the most. Try to stay dry, warm & well.
Nice vid again, love the little giggle at the beginning 😄, roll on warm and dry days.
Had to sub just on your bravery that’s a Netflix day for me. Followed a rocket last week on a brilliant twisty road near me on my 890 adventure and I was impressed how well it handled the bends, just slightly restricting lean angle
Hello there. Having owned a GT for about 6 months now, I still love it. Never had any steering wobble going over speed bumps and such but it can throw you out of the seat because of the hard ride. It is quite thirsty though- going at speed, and this bike is made to go fast.
Just watched you on the rocket. Excellent video as normal Kate. Love your videos. Horrible weather for a ride though but I do know the Cat & Fiddle road into Macclesfield well. Keep up the great work. 👍
lol.. was back in the UK a few weeks back in Lancashire. Then journey home via Lisbon, Dubai and Bali and now sat in a rain storm in Central Queensland but its 33 degrees
33 degrees damnnnn 🥵
What a legend, giving us a great review in those conditions… Awesome…. Keep up the great work…
Yer a legend riding in that weather 🌨️💨 belter of a bike 🙂👍🏼👏🏼
I'll soon be an old geezer so the classic look of the Bonneville would suit me fine but you make that rocket sound so fun and reliable on the road that a couple of years with it is aluring. I have to try it when summer comes.
Very tempting, you make it look so easy
Evening, look like a great ride out, even if it was slightly wet. I enjoyed a test ride of one at the Bike show
Absolutely love the Rocket 3 what a machine ❤️👍🏻
Ha ha love that cheeky giggle Kate .🤣🤭😊
It’s a day fit for ducks, wel that’s a an understatement, feel so so sorry for to ride the beast in this shitty weather. Hope to see another one in nether weather conditions. Grateful for this one, thanks Kate have a dry cozy weekend 👍👍🇳🇱
You should come to NZ Kate many great roads and sights to see once you get off the state highways onto the back roads,you might get some blue skies too 😊 I really enjoy your bike reviews and adventures,ride safe and bring us more
Kate, you ride that bike like a boss 😎 Smooth
I don't own one yet but I may acquire one soon ! Thank you for the video Kate !
Great video out in all weather's i go out in all weathers would love ride on the rocket 3 give it a test ride 👍
Awful weather again Kate! Good on you for getting out and, I'm shure Mike was ready with the jet wash when you got home 😀.
Kudos for riding in that weather. I must admit - the Rocket looked quite intimidating but if it’s the tame pussycat you describe then might consider it one day 👍🏼
Love holes, think i’ve been slightly south of there 😉, Mike likes the r3, he knows that you can’t off road it 😀. You are a brave person, I wouldn’t even drive in those conditions but I am a big woose
Beautiful motorcycle
Great roads,shite weather, road conditions (muck/salt etc) weren't much better on Tuesday when I had ride out in peaks, but it was at least dry. 🏍👍
Well done again. !!😘
I've been enjoying your revisit to the Rocket 3 videos though I'm sorry to see you had to endure such horrendous weather. Still both you and the bike took it on the chin with a great big grin 👍😀 I fancied one when they first came out but I opted for the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 Performance Sport and managed to buy the last one sold in Europe. It's also an awesome bike which you should try if a dealer has one in. I'm now in the market for the R3 but I think I'd prefer the GT, still deciding about mid or forward pegs and definitely want a quick shifter.
the important thing is to keep the spirit going, I always pray that I will be healthy, always happy, stay focused on positive thinking that is done every day
I'm really into watching these vlogs. I'll never be able to afford a new bike but it's nice to hear a northern lass talking proper. Thanks for being totally normal.
hello good morning Kate he bad weather give my regards to Lucía and give my part to you too ☺️
I was in Germany a few years ago and hit a downpour, I ride a thunderbird 1600 and the seat is a natural raincatcher , nearly as bad as the gloves !
I love my Rocket 3 R Black for daily riding and also touring. It can be extremely relaxing at 1500rpm or thrilling when you accelerate. This amount of mass and torque requires experience, mental maturity and occasionally some musculature, but is incredibly rewarding.
Love that you love it
Hi Kate. Great video. Someone else who goes out in all weather’s 👍. I bought a Rocket 3 a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. I was looking at the R but would have had to wait a while from my local dealer so I got the GT 221 version and changed the bars and foot pegs to the R spec. Your right about the more you ride it the more you love it. I also have a Suzuki GSX S 1000 which I traded my GSX-R1000R in for and when I go on the Suzuki after being on the Rocket it feels like a 400😂. The only thing I haven’t changed on the GT is the seat. It’s slightly lower than the R (23mm), doesn’t sound much but I think with the R bars on it needs the seat as well to push you forward a bit. The only complaint I have is the alloy corrodes very easily. I had two T100’s before and they were the same. Poor finish for a premium bike! I had to get my headlights adjusted as they were dazzling other road users! (This should have been checked by the dealer!) My cruise control also doesn’t work but this probably happened when they changes the bars. Ive never been without a bike since I was 16, that’s 43 years and Rocket 3 is like nothing else I’ve ridden, amazing bike. Look forward to more videos.👍
Get some ACF50 spray keep her in good nick.
@@royevans4581 yeh, been using it for years on all my bikes and scottoiler 365. My Suzuki GSX S1000 is a year old and the alloy is still like new, been run through 2 winters. The triumph pitted in two weeks!
@martinmilne1 Aah sheet! I hope you can keep it under control. Awesome looking bikes. I just got myself a very low mileage 'busa gen2 and will be spraying the crap out of it before I take it out! Wish you great rides ahead mate. 👍
No way did you almost pass our new motorbike accessory shop and get a batista coffee on the house 🙄 . Geared 2 go Macclesfield . Fab video 🫶
Love that bike
Hi Kate I’m new to the channel fantastic vids keep at it
Thanks Dean!
Hope you can do a dry day test on the New GT rocket 3.Great Content Kate .Thanks
For about 30years I used to ride the bike all year round, no matter what the weather, rain, wind, fog, snow and ice, never bothered me. Then I passed my car test about 10 years ago and slowly turned into a fair weather biker! lol Can't say I miss the rain & snow, but I still like the occasional blast in winter, warm gear is a must tho. lol
Absolutely mark. I took my Hayabusa out for a good blast today and loved every minute of it.....
Love the content
I agree with everything you’re saying about this bike. It is fantastic and my wife likes it too. Have you seen pictures of the Zard exhaust with this bike? I demo’d one and can’t stop thinking about it.
Stepping off the tiger 900 Rally Pro and making my way to a speedmaster chrome. I have chosen to install the touring screen so that I can do motorway speeds with less head on wind, at 60 I can do without trying to hang on at 70+ 😂 I then have the option to remove it for blasting around locally - maybe.
Heated grips should be standard, have got them on the speedmaster as an extra, they were standard on the tiger, along with a heated seat (which was perfect on two long distance runs from Munich (15 hours) and Odense in Denmark (19 hours)
Horrible roads in that weather Kate.
There’s a great TH-cam video on suspension set up which would stop you bouncing about on those craggy roads - Col and Zig’s Suspension Guide.
Heated grips of the GT would have made the ride more tolerable.They’re an option on the R,standard on the GT.
The standard pipes sound great when the bike’s let loose - seeTriumph Rocket 3 sound by Schaaf on TH-cam.
The bike is pretty heavy pushing in and out the garage but fine once out on the road.
Well done for making an awful cold and wet day look almost fun !
Enjoyed the vid Kate… it looks like your arms are very wide apart - do you notice that, and would you choose a narrower setup (I appreciate you must need a lot of leverage though?). Keep ‘em coming! Cheers.
Good to see the big old girl (the Rocket, not yourself obvs) will tolerate dodgy narrow British B roads. Not something I'd have considered before. The Cat & Fiddle can be pretty knarly when the weather is bad. Not sure I'll be visiting the pub on the bike anymore now that they've stopped serving tea & coffee. Sad, as that was always a great stop when out that way.
Keep up with the good 👍 jobs
Another great vlog Kate looking forward to seeing your next one ride safe lovely only one username Kate
It’s called Dove Holes Kate 😂
Are you actually kidding me?!
@@UsernameKate they are not 😂😂😂 but it’s loveholes from now onwards
You have to be an expert by now in bad weather ! Stay warm !
What an absolute shame🤦 the views would have been awesome 😎 hope you have enjoyed your first day at the show in London, too bad you didn't get your drag race but hopefully all will come right. Say hi to Ruby 👍😎
well done think a vsrom would of been m bike of choice for he day u had 👍
I tried one and felt quite intimidated for the first 5 meters, after that a piece of cake and that was with my wife on the back.
Yes 👍
Love from nepal😍✌️dream bike triump scrambler😊
Back in the 70s I had 3 different Norton Commandos. 2 were wonderful, but the middle one had the head shake. Hitting bumps or potholes straight on would initiate a tank slapper. Scared the crap out of me. I was only 19 and passed it on like the guy that sold it to me. I don’t know what to think! Wheel balance? Just don’t know. It shouldn’t happen and you should bring it to the attention of your dealer. Please let us know if you find out what’s going on. Thanks
Again…I gotta say it …
I love to watch you and hear you talk about this Wicked Bike.
I myself will never be able to afford or even own ; or for keep it safe from being stolen , gone in 60 seconds like.
So ,just a fantasy for me ,cheers.
Live Long and Prosper
(Btw quick question, about ur gloves , do they have that section on them thumb and partial wrist to wipe the rain off the visor? Or was ur visor like ur Go Pro Lens ?)
Actually it is Dove Holes! At least it was when I was there last August.
The rocket has too much power for wet roads. But you were right she was looking cute on her bike. But both of you were beautiful.
What was that blue thing. I know why you put something down for the side stand. I could do with some for my S1000XR. Its side stand end digs into everything.
I don't like the look of that weather, I'm definitely a fairweather rider. You say that the Rocket 3 doesn't like sharp corners... I once came across a mini-roundabout with a raised concrete island on my first ride out on a Diavel 1260s and I had to take it embarrassingly slow, so I can only imagine what that must be like on a Rocket 3!!!
My favourite bike though as biking is a hobby I doubt I will ever get to own one
What system are you using to listen to music?
Wet ! I don't do wet in nz.
You should have gone to the Chippy in Longnor.
👍
Kate’s about to break 50k!
You are strong motorcyle
Steering damper ?
240 booty needs to be on some merch ! 🤣
Yes, us Diavel riders would like that also 🙂
Hit the HD Breakout and Fatboy riders too 🤣
Riding the rocket in love lovehole. Giggity.
I have the r black and dont notice any of that shake you mentioned. Maybe its that bike?
I've ridden probably 4 different rockets and I feel it on em all :(
@@UsernameKate Then l must be the lucky one!
My death grip probably 🤣
👍🏻
Does the Rocket 3 not come standard with heated grips?
The R3 GT comes with heated grips. You can always add them to the R as an option. FJB 🖕🇨🇳
Tune 18.50 in, doesn’t get played enough 🎶
Its actually called Doveholes.
I hate putting wet gloves back on !
Only crocodile would take a Rocket up a goat track and laugh about it. Ride safe Kate.
12:45 Any tips on gloves for us long fingered ladies with talons Kate? Been looking for some that are skinny enough for my hand but long enough for my long fingers with nails. Tried on my other half's Rukka's and their just about long enough in the fingers - but then the hand is too baggy.
Make a video of mv August.. I love your voice a lot ❤️
✌️😃👍
I could easily just listen to the audio of that bike’s fantastic engine and you’re “sweet baby gazelles” type comments 😂
2nd👍
Get your Rocket out of my Love Holes.
No cake?! 2/10 video 😂
I quite like the look of these but think the GT would be more my cup of tea. How do you think this would fare on longer journeys? I say this when I’m currently on a 125 which has about 64 times less power!
good video , but giggling my arse off you saying everything its got apart from one thing no heated grips hahaaa you think after putting everything you said it had why the hell not put heated grips loooooooooooooooool
Oh Dear Kate. Hard sell. I suppose you have to do it but its kind of disappointing. In the end you have to sell your wares.
Hard sell of what sorry? Triumph don't pay me if that's what you're implying.
you r brave girl, i dont ride my Rocket GT in the rain
👍🏻
