ROG # 9 VROC # 4221 Location: Upland, CA, USA Email: larry@tabert.org Website: Bike Model: Vulcan 2000 Bike Year: 2004 Bike Purchased: 6/23/2004 Comments: Bought a Triumph Rocket III Touring model in 2007, wife thought it was easier to get on to her perch. So I took a test ride and had to have it! 2300 CC, had to have it! (impulse buy!) Was going to sell the Rogue but she didn't push it so I took my time. Rode one or the other and whatever one I rode, the other was going! I finally decided last month, don't need 2 of these monsters in the garage and decided the Rogue stays. Both have Corbin Dual Tour seats but the Rogue's sits perfectly. The Triumph's Corbin just sits wrong. I even went back to Corbin to have it "adjusted" but I think the pan is too shallow whereas the Rogue's pan is nice & deep. The Rogue is the bike for the long haul, it's just rock solid stable on the highway. It does OK on the twisties in the mountains here in SoCal (the Rocket is better in the twisties) but most of my riding is highway. So I sold the Rocket this week (July 2011) and now am a Rogue only member! Member Since: 8/2/2004 3:23:09 PM Last Updated: 7/21/2011 8:14:12 PM
