Chunky Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wow! Another dry day in the Pacific Northwest! Trust me when I say that's rare this time of year. Taking advantage of it I got in another 100 mile ride today to Multnomah Falls along the Columbia River Gorge. I've been there many times before but never on a Rocket. I knew it would make a great backdrop for a bike photo. Link to comment
Tony_K Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That jacket needs some ballistic fringe tassels on the sleeves to make the image "picture perfect." Happy to see you are enjoying the new scoot! Link to comment

Paul Mihalka Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Great looking bike, and great memories from the site. Had snacks in the building at the bottom of the fall, when visiting John Day. PS The bike is a beauty... are you the beast? Link to comment

hopz Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Chunky is big enough to make the Triumph look smallish... sort of. Congratulations again. Link to comment
gottabmw Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Is that head gear DOT approved? Link to comment
Chunky Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 traded it in for the payoff amount of $7400. It had new tires, brakes, starter, battery & rebuilt engine. Somebody is gonna get a bargain there. Link to comment
Chunky Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 One of the Triumph forum guys got insulted when I referred to it as a "scooter". That is, until I posted a photo of me sitting on it. LOL Link to comment

BabyCow Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Noice. Just an aside....a mate had one of these and it is the worst bike to ride behind. That huge rear tyre flicks up road debris like nothing else. Link to comment

Chunky Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 First Gear - Kilamanjaro Jacket Link to comment
Ewell D. Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Bob Not to hijack this thread but, how do you like the jacket? I almost ordered one but saw in another forum that the neck opening is much larger than the earlier versions and the collar does not close as tightly. That was the only negative though. Is that something to be concerned about? I really like my kilamanjao III and the new one looks much improved. Enjoy your new ride, it's a beauty. Link to comment

It's comfortable, keeps me warm, keep me dry, keeps me protected. It has plenty of pockets in all the right places. I'm concerned it will get dirty easy because of the light color. Other than that I love it. Link to comment
