Triumph's new Rocket III arrives at Lone Star

The new Triumph Rocket III in its shipping crate at Lone Star

We couldn't wait to get the new Rocket III out of its shipping crate after its arrival on the Lone Star shipping dock. Before shipment, new bikes are partially disassembled and the engine and tranmission oil is drained for safe transit. After the Rocket III was removed from the shippng crate our expert Lone Star mechanics immediately began preparing the big motorcycle for the road. Handlebars, wheels, and other parts were re-installed. The engine and transmission were filled with oil before the engine was cranked. There were a lot of smiles when we finally fired it up. Next
