Owning a '17 R3 (2300cc) and then jumping on a TFC version of the new rocket, the difference is insane. I thought you couldn't get any better than what they had but they far surpassed all expectations
@whiteAfrikkkanNun Yep, you can definately tell that the "man" within him has been "ceased and desisted" by the simp mangino syndrome....lol🤣..the force of the simp is strong with this boy....lol...Lesson #1: congratulate her for a job well done, but DO NOT put her so high on a pedestal that you start treating her like a "rock star", because at that point she'll simply start treating you like a fan....🤔
I too have an issue riding in large groups - they are often in a hurry and go really fast to nowhere. Instead of enjoying the ride, it seems groups like to rush through the ride. Also, I noticed that you are riding kinda hunched and not erect with your back. Look at how cops ride, they ride with their back pretty straight - which allows for quicker response to necessary maneuvering and handling of the bike in the event of road debris and autos that can cause accidents. If you ride a cruiser that is the biggest difference I've noticed in the riding style over sportbike riders. I grew up in the area you were riding in and also went to the Univ there in Tucson. I ride a Roadking and BMW R1200 RT and love 'em both dearly. I enjoyed your commentary whilst riding and love how you keep your eyes ahead of you on the curved roads. Stay and ride safe and look ahead! thank you for sharing!
Love the sound of the Rocket 3 rumble under acceleration. The old Rocket 3 would do 100+ in 3 and once you shifted into 4th you really needed to hold on tight. I really enjoyed this video, nice work.
A little constructive criticism if you don't mind. It would be nice if you could explain how the bikes perform when you do these type of rides. Suspension, brakes, handling, etc. All I learned about this bike is that it has a huge engine and it feels comfortable. Thanks in advance!
Riding conservatively, and stopping for Every stop light, shows that you are a Professional Rider/Biker. 😀😀👍👍 You ride your bike the same safe maner you would drive a loaded semi-truck, and that will always earn high praises from me. 😀😀 I would always feel so safe riding with you. 🙂 Just enjoying the ride and scenery with your own thoughts, is the most relaxing. I really enjoy your channel, gives me lots of ideas for my second TH-cam channel. 🙂
@@HerTwoWheels, me neither. 😕 I ran with "The Pack" of other Harley riders way back in the day, 2006-2008. They usually treated it like a land speed race, and I found myself outside my comfort zone at 70-75+ with my Sportster. 🙁 I didn't care for that much, and being left behind. So I took to my own pace. 🙂 Anyway, I always had forward controls with my Harley, definitely made a difference in comfort. Try them with your Dyna! 😀
I've always avoided the big group. 6 or so is my limit. I don't go on longer trips. I like to go sportster around. Year's ago, I was asked why I don't ride my bikes to work, I said "Kinda takes the sport, outa Sportster. "
"This thing feels like I'm sitting on a rocket ship". Never a more appropriate comment! This bike is indeed the size of a ship, with the speed of a rocket.....Bib, England. Rainy England.
I wish I could double like this. Arizona is stunning. Moved here from Oregon, and can't leave. Incredible motorcycling and central location to get to beautiful motorcycling roads and views. You just dipped your toe in the water. The trees and climate are here, Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff, the White Mountains. Down the hwy 60 through the gorge, between Globe and Show Low, Devils Hwy, Route 66, Oatman, Lake Havasu to Parker along the Colorado river, Tombstone, etc, etc.
I am from Ontario, Canada and have had some of the best rides of my life around Arizona.My brother lives in Vegas so I have rented a new Harley almost every time I went there and we did Vegas, Arizona and California. Beautiful rides through the mountains and along the ocean. I appreciate how well you handled that beast of a bike. I am a short guy so I don't think I could get it off the kickstand.
Hi! Thanks for sharing part II! I am in love with Triumph and it’s great to get the insight of someone that has never ridden the brand before. Happy that you had a safe and exciting trip! Looking forward to your next post. Be well & safe travels!
You review is the best review I have watched when it comes to conveying the essence of what it actually feels like to ride. Sure, we generally need to know the statistics, but to feel the soul of the bike is (in my opinion) what riding a bike is truly about. Thank you.
Damn that bike is way too quiet stock. I don't like loud loud bikes, but I like for people to hear me when I rev a little bit. Your little giggle makes me chuckle every time. I love it
Cool to see @DoodleOnAMotorcycle. I was watching this and thought it looked like the same event. The Rocket III looks like a lot of fun. I think I would prefer the mid control version, I don't like forward pegs, too hard to stand up over rough bumps.
I have owned my rocket 3R for a little over a year. I’ve done cruises, curves, long rides and short rides. The bike does everything that I want to do. People always come up and ask me about how fast it is, but there’s so much more to that bike than just the speed, it is truly a riding experience. I have not ever ridden the GT version of the rocket and I saw that you rode the demo of the GT. I was just curious how you felt at the end of the ride, if it was still comfortable or you were at your limit for riding it that day.
I'm a sport bike kinda girl, but gosh DANG those are some BEAUTIFUL bikes!! What a beautiful, beautiful ride, too!! Hope you had the best time. So happy for you!!
Looks like you took hwy 83 towards Sonoita, its definitely more enjoyable when not having to worry about others, especially through the twisties. Beautiful ride through the country though. 😊
i just got my first rocket just 3 months ago. it's a 2005 with stage 1 chip, intake, exhaust. you're right, these things are just BEASTS!! I got mine up to 150mph once. whoooo, man it was amazing. don't you just love riding a bike with that torque? Hey you'll have to let me know if you get one. I get around the country, maybe we'll be in the same place one day. i don't know, just a thought. I need a new riding buddy.
The Triumph Rocket 3 is a polarizing piece of craftsmanship. The bike is much lighter than expected. Triumph has been hitting it out of the ballpark with their bikes. Competition drives the whole industry. Lots of choices.
I love AZ. I will be retiring there. I only visited it for 4 days last May, but fell in love with it. Rode only 1 day there, but NEED to go back!! Deserts are magical. The beauty of them doesnt come through in pics and video-its something you have to experience in person.
YAS! Day 2! :D lol I am the opposite, I love my Honda Shadow, but the forward controls just kills my lower back lol I feel like I'm folded in half XD I'm very much a mid controls girl ;) The stock Tiger def makes you lean forward a bit, but Risers normally fix that problem. lolling at you AND Steve Kamrad getting lost XD Thanks for taking us along! PS. GIRL we need to do like a Lady Motovlogger Death Valley or Mojave "Winter Trip" in the future lol it is SO beautiful and it's like the perfect temperature Late Feb/Early March
Yeah, the GT is our kind of bike. Thinking of buying it. My only issue is the controls. They are too close to the bike. I got to twist my feet in in order to brake or to shift. Can’t wait to get my bike out tough. Here in Montreal is to cold. Still snow and cold weather to come. Can’t ligaly take it out before the 15th of March anyway.
I just moved to Phoenix and I love the desert view. There are plenty of areas with trees and grass, but I love the mountains, plateaus and cactus vibe of the place.
I am so glad that Triumph and Indian are doing well. Iconic brands both and reintroduced to the market in such a spot on blend of technology and classic nostalgia. Too bad about Norton.
LOL!! I much prefer riding alone too - unless I’m riding in a group and I get dropped. That was hilarious. Thanks for sharing your experience. How cool.
Those darn Canadians, always trying to sneak into Mexico :)) Looks like an excellent adventure in the desert. That Rocket 3 is a beast! Glad you enjoyed it.
Keyless bikes... a solution for a problem that never existed! Also I love that you didn't run the light it's not worth it. Great videos, amazing views!
yeah, if it were just a smidge red I would have done it, but the fact that almost 8 people inform of me ran it while it was 100% red, I was like "yeeeeah... I'll just stop" haha
I like the rocket 3, but the rear of the new one is more of a sport bike style, kinda like the Harley fxdr. Not a big fan, myself. However, the older ones like the one Shadetree Surgeon rides, is awesome. Glad you had a blast, I know I would have.
nice job handling that motorcycle; i have had my 2014' Rocket III Roadster since 2015 and it has been an awesome bike the newer one here has the same torque but more horsepower and is lighter but I still prefer the original- it sounds better and looks better in my view. The engine is absolutely flawless that inline triple is like riding a bull. Anyone looking for a good bike recommendation- You just can't go wrong with owning a Triumph- performance and styling and affordable.
Looks like Triumph made significant changes to the Rocket. I would like to see Triumph take this engine and make a full touring machine. I would rally consider that for my next bike. Looks like you are enjoying Arizona. AR is a bit too hot for me in the summer, but has great scenery. My wife and I have lived in five USA states and Paris, France. Nothing like living in different areas to experience different approaches to life. Thanks for posting. Ride safe.
Wow! That looks like my old neighborhood while living in Phoenix, Litchfield Park actually. From my condo to the White Tank Mountains, about 45 minutes, I would ride to the top of one of the higher mountains. I bought an '81 Yamaha 850 Midnight Special for $1000 at a garage sale; and sold it in Maui, HI, for three grand. I would sit there, make a cup of coffee and eat a bento type meal. Timing the ride became perfect after a couple rides I would sit on the mountain as the sun set. Arizona offers spectacular sun sets (most likely due to the air pollution in Southern California). If you ever return to Phoenix, AZ, take Hwy 60 to Hwy 89, stay on 89 through Prescott, Jerome, Cottonwood, Sedona...OMG, it's a rider's dream...then onto 89A to eat dinner in Flagstaff and return on I-17. Make sure you take an extra layer or two for the trip down the mountains. I learned that the hard way.
I have a feeling that rocket 3 would get me from 0 to the scene of the crash in a big hurry. Looks like a fun way to go though. You did great with your coverage! When you have beautiful surroundings sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing. We’re living vicariously through you. Glad they invited you and you were able to go. I can’t wait to take on the badlands and black hills this summer. Before sturgis of course.
I've never understood how people can see the "beauty" of living out there. I was stationed in Albuquerque, NM for a time and my little brother was stationed in Phoenix, AZ for a period as well. Coming from northeastern Indiana, neither of us cared for it. The other thing I didn't care for was that it seemed to take FOREVER to get anywhere! I guess because there's just nothing in between Point A and B. Though it probably wouldn't take QUITE as long on a 2500cc Rocket! WOW! I thought my Yamaha Eluder was big at almost 1900cc! Not sure if it's her, but Doodle went through several bikes and failed MSF classes in a short period a few years ago. I stopped watching her 'cause I felt like she was just trying too hard to be vlogger and not the safest person on two wheels. Maybe that's all changed now. Peace and love.
@@HerTwoWheels - I just checked. Yep, that's her. Seriously, some of her first videos a few years ago were very concerning. Looks like maybe she sorted everything out. I really felt scared for her safety. Glad she's still with us.
Very cool...!! Looks like a really nice bike. It would be the Bonneville for me. Just an old-school dude. Glad you had a good time. That rushing around would killed this old man. LOL 😎
Best part of the whole video is at 3:40. "I was like yeah buddy you bet your ass I'm going to hold on tight." Pure Jess. That is what makes you so enjoyable to watch.
It seems like a nice ride you are enjoying the open air, I like the way you don't get rocked very easy when things don't go right, because shit happens.
Looks like you had a wonderful time and such an great experience. I've only rode Harley's and one weekend a Honda Shadow during the MSF course. You need to visit Colorado to see mountains!
"I hope I didn't lose the key." *Loses key* "I don't like riding in groups." *Gets separated twice* "I hope I don't crash." I knocked on wood for ya, but you still had me rolling.
Her Two Wheels how tall are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 5’4” and really like the new rocket just want to be able to reach the ground lol. I can flat foot my night rod want to add another bike.
What became of the lost key? I recently locked both sets of keys in a rental car trunk, needless to say, 3 hours later, after waiting for roadside assistance, I get in. The 2 sets of keys were tied together on a hard wired key ring.
I love the looks of the Triumph's but always worried about support for them Nation-wide for travelers running into issues. Do they have a good support network across the USA?
I live in Phoenix I’m glad you enjoyed your trip here . If you ever come back again leave time to to take a trip to Sedona and Flagstaff. And other areas north of Phoenix.
Hi: can you get a more touring windshield for the rocket?...I like taking long state to state ride, and like a bigger shield. I see you ran into Doodle, I'm a dude, but I on her channel also. I hope you get called for more sponsorship rides!... God bless you 😇.
I'm not sure! especially since this is a brand new bike, not sure if modifications are available yet. Doodle was a Gem! I'm so glad we got to meet! Thanks for the comment!
Jess, love the video, nicely made just wish you had given more info on the bike itself! I think it might be my next bike and would have loved more info on the feel and use. Everybody knows the technical data already. How did it compare with the Indian or Harley to ride?
Agreed on all comments Marc, as a Rocket 3 GT owner, and a Harley and Indian as well, I was looking forward to hearing her opinions on the bike itself in comparison. AZ is nice when it is not blazing hot, and very scenic, but some more detail on how she liked the bike would have been great.
So glad you had the opportunity to visit my home state. Such a variety of terrain and elevations. Come back from Ohio next fall or spring and check it out. Enjoyed you testing the various motos. Take care.
Jess, great job handling the Rocket 3. I saw you in Doodle’s video on Friday. The Triumph Immersion looked like a great success and lots of fun. Not sure I’d want to live in Arizona they have Scorpions and Rattlers. Living where the air stings your face seems like a better place.
Very cool you made it to Az I live in the southern part one of my favorite rides is down south to Tombstone then over to Nogales I ride on a Road King.
You should have gone up Mt Lemmon, although there can be snow that time of year. I live a couple hours north in Fountain Hills. If you want trees, go north to Flagstaff or up on Mogollon Rim. Which is Pine/ Strawberry Happy Jack, Clint's Wells, etc. Trees up there, altitude too. A good place to go in the summer when the valley heats up. 30 degrees cooler up north.
I so enjoyed this video. I had to pause a few times to daydream about the coming riding season. Can’t wait until the weather breaks. I’ve got the itch. Man Arizona looks awesome. July might be interesting, but just beautiful.
Could I ride threw the winters somewhere. Do you have an idea. Camping for 4 mouth or stay in Michigan and watch it snow. I just bought a 2018 Yamaha Eluder. Its bigger then the triumph. Cool bike though. Your teaching me. Thank You
I'm glad I watched this video . I cant believe how clear you sound in your biltwell , I've been debating on getting bluetooth setup for mine and hearing how clear you are I can finally say I'm getting one
Forsure that was BEAUTIFUL Scenery & the state of Georgia is pretty too. However, if You & Doodle ever come up to Canada you gotta come Ride in "Banff National Park", which is 1.5hr West of Snowcat & I's city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Come to think of it, contact me if you ever come, so I can Host you in my Country. I'll gladly lend you one of my 4 Motorcycles. I've recently made a video of all the Motovloggers I've met.
I've had the opportunity to live in many places around the world, but Arizona holds a special place in my heart. I especially love the Payson/ mogollion rim area, if I could I would live there! Just FYI I am originally from South West Michigan, but no longer live there.
I have my keyless either hanging on my neck or in a small inside pocket with the papers. Never an outside pocket that is used all the time. Oh, the tyres must get very square too in Arizona..
If you like riding in the mountains, y’all need to drive a couple hours East of where you live and ride the “laurel mountains” of PA. Granted, nothing like you saw in AZ, but still nice riding!

Wow , so great to see a woman riding such a huge monster. Proving all the tough guys wrong. You're a rockstar !!

"I really enjoy tree's and grass a lot" That was funny, but very true! (; Great video!!
"I'll just have to suck it up. Still warmer than Ohio" lol. Truth. The Southern based Riders must have been freezing.
Beautiful bike and a beast for certain, in the top five fasted cruisers out there.

The Triumph Rocket 3 is a polarizing piece of craftsmanship. The bike is much lighter than expected. Triumph has been hitting it out of the ballpark with their bikes. Competition drives the whole industry. Lots of choices.
yes! And i wasn't afraid to rip the throttle! The bike always felt planted and just TOOK OFF!
Congratulations! Triumph made a good choice selecting you! Glad you enjoyed it!
When the group ride starts with everyone rolling through the “suggestion” 🛑 sign while turning left 😆
I love AZ. I will be retiring there. I only visited it for 4 days last May, but fell in love with it. Rode only 1 day there, but NEED to go back!! Deserts are magical. The beauty of them doesnt come through in pics and video-its something you have to experience in person.

How do you compare this to the Ducati Diavel ?
We ride in groups a lot and often have someone get caught by a light and we either slow down or stop in a median. Great ride. 😎😎
Was out in Tuson a couple years ago. It is incredibly beautiful. Going to Tombstone we had to through the checkpoint. Great video.
Great video. Jess would you trade your Harley for the Rocket? Love hearing your laughter. Ride safe!!
You drove trough Sierra Vista? I used to live there for 10 years. Arizona is just beautiful
Bravo again!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Even with a couple of hiccups at the end you still kicked ass. Great job girl.

Glad you liked it. They are way too big for my shortness but I get by on a Bonneville Bobber
I absolutely love this rider!!! Such as nice down to earth collage of pure riding and nature.
When you are far far away from home but your on your Rocket III and it seems like your just around the block !
Great job riding that 2500.. looks like a fun trip!

I guess because there's just nothing in between Point A and B. Though it probably wouldn't take QUITE as long on a 2500cc Rocket! WOW! I thought my Yamaha Eluder was big at almost 1900cc! Not sure if it's her, but Doodle went through several bikes and failed MSF classes in a short period a few years ago. I stopped watching her 'cause I felt like she was just trying too hard to be vlogger and not the safest person on two wheels. Maybe that's all changed now. Peace and love.
She was with me, she posted a video about the trip as well
@@HerTwoWheels - I just checked. Yep, that's her. Seriously, some of her first videos a few years ago were very concerning. Looks like maybe she sorted everything out. I really felt scared for her safety. Glad she's still with us.
Very cool...!! Looks like a really nice bike. It would be the Bonneville for me. Just an old-school dude. Glad you had a good time. That rushing around would killed this old man. LOL 😎
The Bonneville's are beautiful!
Best part of the whole video is at 3:40. "I was like yeah buddy you bet your ass I'm going to hold on tight."
Pure Jess. That is what makes you so enjoyable to watch.
It seems like a nice ride you are enjoying the open air, I like the way you don't get rocked very easy when things don't go right, because shit happens.
Looks like you had a wonderful time and such an great experience. I've only rode Harley's and one weekend a Honda Shadow during the MSF course. You need to visit Colorado to see mountains!
Was that the tucson ride event? if u go about 4 hours north your in flag lots of trees and snow right now lol and sedona is really pretty
Nice to see you and Doodle together!
Always valuables in a zippered pocket. G forces will empty your pockets pronto! Keyless sucks. What’s the point except expensive replacements....
The audio in this video, is absolutely stunning!!!!
"I hope I didn't lose the key."
*Loses key*
"I don't like riding in groups."
*Gets separated twice*
"I hope I don't crash."
I knocked on wood for ya, but you still had me rolling.
Haha! Yeah I’ll knock on wood too!
Her Two Wheels how tall are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 5’4” and really like the new rocket just want to be able to reach the ground lol. I can flat foot my night rod want to add another bike.
Well it’s starting to get spring time here now in Indiana. Pretty soon I would be riding. Maybe one day a couple of us could meet up for a group ride
That is a lovely looking Triumph bike! I'll have to test ride one soon!!
What became of the lost key? I recently locked both sets of keys in a rental car trunk, needless to say, 3 hours later, after waiting for roadside assistance, I get in. The 2 sets of keys were tied together on a hard wired key ring.
This video was a nice surprise! Although it did contribute to making me late to work 😬
I have a large 500 stroke engine baby. Giggity Giggity alriiight. 🤣😂🤣 I'm here all week folks.
I love the looks of the Triumph's but always worried about support for them Nation-wide for travelers running into issues. Do they have a good support network across the USA?
Big beauty eh!? I tried a test at local T dealer here in Scotland, was an experience ! Great video. Subbed ! 👍🏼
Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it !
Very inspirational. Keep riding!!!!
Keep on doing what you do!
I live in Phoenix I’m glad you enjoyed your trip here . If you ever come back again leave time to to take a trip to Sedona and Flagstaff. And other areas north of Phoenix.
Hi: can you get a more touring windshield for the rocket?...I like taking long state to state ride, and like a bigger shield. I see you ran into Doodle, I'm a dude, but I on her channel also. I hope you get called for more sponsorship rides!... God bless you 😇.
I'm not sure! especially since this is a brand new bike, not sure if modifications are available yet. Doodle was a Gem! I'm so glad we got to meet! Thanks for the comment!
Jess, love the video, nicely made just wish you had given more info on the bike itself! I think it might be my next bike and would have loved more info on the feel and use. Everybody knows the technical data already. How did it compare with the Indian or Harley to ride?
Agreed on all comments Marc, as a Rocket 3 GT owner, and a Harley and Indian as well, I was looking forward to hearing her opinions on the bike itself in comparison. AZ is nice when it is not blazing hot, and very scenic, but some more detail on how she liked the bike would have been great.
harley fatboy and triumph rocket 3 are my only favrate bikes in the world it satisfies my cruiser head
Hi! I am from Brazil. Thanks for sharing your riding. Rockt 3 is a monster! I loved it!
So glad you had the opportunity to visit my home state. Such a variety of terrain and elevations. Come back from Ohio next fall or spring and check it out. Enjoyed you testing the various motos. Take care.
Jess, great job handling the Rocket 3. I saw you in Doodle’s video on Friday. The Triumph Immersion looked like a great success and lots of fun. Not sure I’d want to live in Arizona they have Scorpions and Rattlers. Living where the air stings your face seems like a better place.
Very cool you made it to Az I live in the southern part one of my favorite rides is down south to Tombstone then over to Nogales I ride on a Road King.
You should have gone up Mt Lemmon, although there can be snow that time of year. I live a couple hours north in Fountain Hills. If you want trees, go north to Flagstaff or up on Mogollon Rim. Which is Pine/ Strawberry Happy Jack, Clint's Wells, etc. Trees up there, altitude too. A good place to go in the summer when the valley heats up. 30 degrees cooler up north.
I did! check out this video! th-cam.com/video/5dQjKp624a4/w-d-xo.html
@@HerTwoWheels Thanks!
I so enjoyed this video. I had to pause a few times to daydream about the coming riding season. Can’t wait until the weather breaks. I’ve got the itch. Man Arizona looks awesome. July might be interesting, but just beautiful.
Could I ride threw the winters somewhere. Do you have an idea. Camping for 4 mouth or stay in Michigan and watch it snow. I just bought a 2018 Yamaha Eluder. Its bigger then the triumph. Cool bike though. Your teaching me. Thank You
That bike seems so smooth and very torque 👍 made in hinckley uk 🇬🇧 ps it's great to see you Americans keeping the triumph name going
Always loved the Rocket III
My dream bike :)
Happy you had a great experience. Great video! Have a blessed day!
I'm glad I watched this video . I cant believe how clear you sound in your biltwell , I've been debating on getting bluetooth setup for mine and hearing how clear you are I can finally say I'm getting one
I record separately from my com system. But I would never ride without my sena now that I have one!
Forsure that was BEAUTIFUL Scenery & the state of Georgia is pretty too.
However, if You & Doodle ever come up to Canada you gotta come Ride in "Banff National Park", which is 1.5hr West of Snowcat & I's city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Come to think of it, contact me if you ever come, so I can Host you in my Country. I'll gladly lend you one of my 4 Motorcycles. I've recently made a video of all the Motovloggers I've met.
Good to see Doodle there, another great blogger I follow, love love love the rocket, what a bike! 😍
I've had the opportunity to live in many places around the world, but Arizona holds a special place in my heart. I especially love the Payson/ mogollion rim area, if I could I would live there! Just FYI I am originally from South West Michigan, but no longer live there.
Thank you for this vid. R3 is now my dream bike to get.
your key didnt fall out .. its a common problem on the rocket, key loosing signal with the ecu...
I have my keyless either hanging on my neck or in a small inside pocket with the papers. Never an outside pocket that is used all the time. Oh, the tyres must get very square too in Arizona..
Cool Trip, Thanks for sharing the experience!
If you like those mountains you will love Switzerland.
Amazing video that was so much fun
Whoa Jess way to make that Rocket rip. I Love it when you cracked that throttle & let fly. You Rock!
Spaceship!
On this trip were you ever offered the opportunity to ride a Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster and what did you think of it ?
If you like riding in the mountains, y’all need to drive a couple hours East of where you live and ride the “laurel mountains” of PA. Granted, nothing like you saw in AZ, but still nice riding!
