Snapshots of the old & the new
I signed the final paperwork transferring my 2005 BMW R1200RT over to Cascades Moto in Beaverton, OR for a new 2008 Rocket III Touring today. I'm actually bike-less until the $1,000+ worth of accessories arrive and are installed. Our weather is supposed to take a nose dive this next weekend that could include snow. I guess I'll have to weather the time it takes to get everything perfect. My friend caught me sitting on my new R3T that included the shipping plastic still on the gas tank and side-bags. I think it's a cute scooter! LOL

What? You didn't like the Beemer? How dare you!!!!!! Just kidding. To each his/her own. I loved the BMW personally. I just hated the dealerships in my area. They had their noses in the air, were way overpriced & had mechanics that didn't have a clue what they were doing. I'm glad you like the new bike. I referred to it as "my scooter" on one of the motorcycle forums I frequent as was chastised by a fellow biker.

The Beemer is a nice looking bike, but given the choice, definitely the Triumph!

I'm glad you got rid of that heap of German junk Bob. I'm sure the Triumph will soon impress upon you the quality of a British Bike pedigree.
