Gosh, appreciate that Vicki....Thank you. Very excited is the appropriate phrase to use if you are waiting for a new 3R - it's a fabulous bike. Slightly jealous of you getting out on one in New Zealand.... Ok , Very jealous ;).....Cheers - Farmer

i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

@Emery Darwin instablaster =)

@Dallas Guillermo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Dallas Guillermo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

My pleasure Jappe - glad you enjoyed it - Farmer

I am thinking of getting one to replace my SCR950 and 390 Duke.

@@user-sw2lv3zp6o you'll be very happy! :)

Glad you enjoyed it, Jet. No need to worry, it's worth the wait!

@@FarmerTorque Glad I found this channel - fantastic videos - pleasure to watch.... subscribed. Thank you.

Not difficult to make those sounds, D G cos it’s such a dramatic piece of kit, Yes I want one too......🤔 have fun in 2020

Enjoy, Rob! Something tells me you will ;)

Good to hear from you Brad -Triumph are doing some really interesting stuff at the moment - definitely worth a look. If you have time, my Tarmac Trails Playlist will give you a better idea of the area I live. In the meantime please let me know if you get a bike and what it is . All the best - Farmer

Thank you Captain - In fairness, trying/riding the Rocket was pure, unadulterated pleasure - even in that weather (which wasn't that bad tbf) The man-flu however was sadly real ;) All the best for 2020 - Farmer

Thank you Stephen. Seems I’m not the only one who likes the thing 😜

Thought I'd replied Mark - apologies. You'll love it on the Isle of Man - You'll probably love it everywhere, actually! Thanks farmer

Not surprised you liked it Sheila ! Did you buy??

Cool - had the rocket 🚀 for 4 days, sadly now back with the dealer 😕 Happy days 😊

Ha ha - thank you - was out yesterday on the same R - this time also on a GT - bit more sensible vid comparison coming this weekend Still giggled 🤭

Thank you Bilal - Worth saving for I reckon....

Brilliant you're having fun, Steve. Feeling like a kid is really special - enjoy - Farmer

agreed about the wheels and shame it doesnt have aftermarket exhaust yet

Pretty good , isn't it ;)

@@FarmerTorque If I remember rightly, it's hydroformed. Great attention to detail; this is a dream bike.

It's a bit special.....I don't think you will be the only one who changes their mind - Good to hear your thoughts - Cheers, Farmer

Great you enjoyed the vid Leif - May will come soon enough!!! and you have some fabulous roads up there - would love to visit one day (on a bike) All the best, Farmer

Speak as I find....If a bike makes me feel good I'll say so !!!!!

Thanks for watching, Peter. It’s a great bike

you will NOT regret it one moment and will want to ride for hours without stopping ... until yeah for gasoline because pitty only 18 liters ....

Don't think you'll be disappointed ;)

Thanks Bill, if you like it, don’t think you’ll be disappointed. All the best for 2020 - Farmer

Great to hear from Germany, Floda. It’s a pleasure to read your comments - Happy new year!

@@FarmerTorque Many thanks! And a happy new year for you and your family :o)

I'm guessing you mean the bike!!!! In which case I agree - Farmer

@@FarmerTorque , you're both quite impressive! :) Although those narrow roads with tall hedge rows made me nervous. Such gorgeous terrain!

Some of the lanes Umm, 'deserve respect' ;) but worth it for the varied countryside. Great to hear from you! Cheers, Farmer

Hi John - I would say nip over for a break, but the other side of the world is a fair ride 😂 The Rocket was good - still a fair lump, but very good. Triumph will sell loads of them - rightly so - Quite a few roads in the UK are incredible - Scotland, Wales and yes here in the South West offer so much . This sort of riding is the idea behind my ‘ Tarmac Trails’ playlist (sorry, blatant plug) Thanks for giggling 🤭 Have a good 2020 👍

Seems fair..... !

To my surprise, I found myself doing just that, Jeffery.

@@FarmerTorque How much mileage for that beast?

Good to hear from you Finlay, it was a pleasure to make this video, pleased you enjoyed ;) Farmer

Very amusing, Hugh! I must say I wouldn't object to some sunshine!

Great story to read ....;) Happy days......

Good yarn Tom - good luck with the cameras All the best, Farmer

I'm definitely not an Indian expert, but I do know the Rocket is pretty special.....

That all seems very reasonable ;) Thank you very much - hope you enjoy the channel!

Ha.....You have hit the nail on the head there, Martyn, although not quite right as a TFC is £25k ... :( Much as I like the thought I can't afford that level and keep the Scrambler, Which I still have a lot of affection for. There are some very tempting deals from other manufacturers at the moment. So, Scrambler plus.....?????

FarmerTorque Agree the Scrambler does everything so my choice would be some form of cruiser or semi cruiser like the Triumph Speedmaster. I like a bike that you can ‘make yours’. Enjoyed your channel this year so keep up the good work for 2020👍 Happy new year to you.

I’ve always found found three cylinder engines interesting and this one didn’t disappoint. Felt a bit awkward praising the bike so much but I think it is that good. Great to hear your thoughts - Farmer

Thanks Cecil, have a good ride 👍

Thank you Dave, real world 😂

Thank you very much - Happy Days - Farmer

I really tried to be critical and maybe not be so keen.....Epic fail....It's the TFC that's my problem - or should I say the size of my piggy bank! Some thinking to do! Cheers - Farmer

Ummm.... Not sure my wife will agree ..... ;) Great to hear you enjoyed the vid - Cheers, Farmer

What's the difference with the TFC?

@@FarmerTorque Check the channel "RocketMan". He bought one but he hates it so much.

Good to hear from you Raj. Cheques in the post....;)

FarmerTorque excited to get my TFC in the new year !

Thanks Mark - Bikes should be fun....and this one made that easy!

Made me laugh, Leddy. Cheers 👍

@@FarmerTorque I probably could afford one, but my wife wouldn't stand for it!!😂

Nordic Mike - Great to hear your thoughts , I’m fairly confident your going to have to open your wallet!!!!

@@FarmerTorque Thanks for quick reply, Got a BMW K1300s 2014 just now with 175bhp but only 140nm torque which i feel is a bit low for a big bike , still fast , but without that surge of power i,m craving. Would i be ok with a Rocket 3 ? Great reviews BTW.

K1300 is a very nice bike - have done miles on one. The Rocket is heavier but is easy to handle and most importantly, it’s in a select group of being a special bike . I like the rocket enormously, but it’s not really my kind of bike - hence my SuperDuke purchase recently. If you love the look and feel of the Triumph and like the ride, I wholeheartedly approve 😊

Blimey, Great memories 😊 Cheers, Farmer

I have a 59 BSA Super Rocket. Similar in name only.🚀

@@splodge5714 A friend of mine had a BSA 350 thumper; he loved it, but it kept blowing the engine.

Nooooo !!!!!! It's the bike that's good - Great to hear from you Haroon, enjoy 2020 ;)

And I guess would have been true.....technically speaking !!!!!

Cheers Eric, Considering the conditions the bike was surprisingly 'planted' and felt at home on those roads. The weather could have been a little better, however...

Reckon you need another one .......;)

Appreciated, Steve. This one was tricky to make but I'll remember for a long time - Special bike!

Looks like you have a new bike coming Phil! It certainly looks dramatic.

Kind words Michael. I loved my time with the 3R

@@FarmerTorque Why does this bike sound so quiet? Or is it due to the camera recording? If I had a "big bike" it should sound like a big bike.

The old touring rocket is a completely different bike!

@@osamabinladen824 Because not everyone needs to sound loud! That's what you do when you have a Crappy Davidson!

Thanks very much indeed - you’ll have a ball 😁👍

Interesting! Are you not allowed bigger bikes or just to expensive?

@@FarmerTorque I'm not a Filipino, so I'm just here trying to understand it myself. You are definitely allowed bigger bikes. You very occasionally see a foreigner with a Harley. My emerging theory is that a faster bike needs better tyres, better brakes, better everything. Scooters here start at about $US 1100 new, and I believe a new tyre for one is like $4. (How good can it be for that price?) I think the motorcycle economy just resolves around cheap crap. But you see even sports bikes and bigger bikes at 150cc. The police ride 150cc dirt bikes. Amusingly there is a law on the books you can't ride some motorways with a bike less than 400cc, maybe a way to exclude the unwashed masses.

@@xpusostomos I am an American expat living in Cebu , there is indeed a large movement of wealthy Filipinos and some expats riding larger cc bikes here. I personally have had a Yamaha MT07 and a Triumph Street Twin. in answer to Farmers question yes they are much more expensive here. you will pay about 40% more than in the US or UK. It is the price of pleasure. In Luzon (Manila) there are decent roads and limited access highways, in Cebu there are nothing but 2 lane roads for he most part. However lots of good mountain twisties to explore. I modified my Street Twin to lower the gearing and added dual sport tires, a perfect solution to the road conditions. The real problem is indeed the scooter riders who do here best to kill themselves at every opportunity, and take you with them. road discipline is no existent. After 15 years here I'm used to it, and have adopted the riding style.

@@DEeMONsworld And why are they more expensive than the US, is there some tax or something? A while back for curiousity I looked at the online price in Manila for a new CRF250 Honda, which is roughly a $US 4000 bike, and the price seemed to be 10% less than Australia (And Australia has a 10% sales tax), so I was kinda thinking maybe the Philippines has no motorcycle taxes. I tried googling that, and there are definitely car sales taxes, but couldn't find mention of motorcycle taxes.

@@xpusostomos the small Hondas are imported in parts and assembled here to avoid import taxes. or are brought in from China where they are made, in the case of some scooters, or no Filipino could afford them. all the so called "big bikes" are assessed about a 40% tax and import duty. some bikes like the 200 and 300 cc BAJAJ (India) Kawasakis are built here as are some of the smaller KTMs.

Please try and let me know if you agree - be really interesting. - Farmer

I found it REALLY comfortable and relaxed - think you will to! You may have to ditch the bear costume though.....;) Happy days - Farmer

Eddie Hall is a bit bigger than you, and he looks okay on the Rocket 3. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLx5jbaclp21hJc.html

@@FarmerTorque I'm 5'7". Is it fine?

360 Camera, Shane.

Great comments, Chris, like you, I really don’t see the point of following each other all trying to wheelie 🙄 I’m with you on the cancelled order, all a bit strange. I’m pretty sure your going to have a whale of a time on your new bike - happy new year 👍

Exactly the same here, I had a detailed run through with the very helpful guy in the ‘rocket lounge’ at the nec. He somewhat worriedly asked if I’d be ok waiting until January for my TFC (on order since January) and looked pretty relieved when I told him that was fine. On an XDiavel at the moment so it’s not exactly a desperate situation while I wait.

Afraid I can’t comment on the video Richard 😂 But agree fully about the bike 😊

Thanks for watching - have fun choosing!

Not long to wait now, Rich. I don't think you'll be disappointed ;)

I picked up my TFC last week and it’s absolutely glorious. The finish the the best I’ve ever seen. So many superb touches - it’s like a work of art and sooooooo incredible to ride. Wish I could post a pic

Looks like your a 🚀 fan George- Nowt’ wrong with that 😊

@@FarmerTorque yeah, a very very big fan but the one I had (2012-15 - look at my videos) was hit by a stupid wife playing with her GPS and not stopping at a STOP sign ... me only very blue legs and arms but engine broken by crashbar that split part of the carter .... me 67 then and my lovely wife did not want me to buy an new one or to repare .... pitty yeah but love is stronger than rockets ... she told me she was always very scary when I got out and now she couldn't stand it any longer .... I understood and now I enjoy Rocket videos ..... yeah man ..... ;-) ;-)

Lows and highs of life George..... but you sound in a good place now I reckon. Will try and make some vids you enjoy in 2020 - touched by your story, thank you 😊

Guess it does Phil, I really enjoyed the bike, which is pretty obvious 😜 Giggle was genuine......

Thanks for looking at the channel Shane. It’s a great bike, but not cheap..... Cheers, Farmer

FarmerTorque Forgot to mention that it was great to see the south west again, I used to live just down the road in Cullompton. 👍🏻

Thank you Splodge! That's what I was trying to get across - Happy days

Nice you enjoyed the vid - My quick-shifter thing is just a personal dislike - I just love changing gear myself - as long as I can switch it off I'm fine - which Triumph do - so all good !!!!!

Will see what I can do Ronn - good to hear from you 👍

Good banter Michael 🤪 have a good 2020 👍

@@FarmerTorque Thanks!! and you to, I hope it's made all the better by the purchase of a Triumph Rocket 3!! I'll have to make do with my Tiger 1050 Sport for a few years yet, still it's not all that bad and it's more suited to my pocket!!

Oh no, sorry to disappoint, but latest vid reveals where my heart is. Scrambler stays though so Triumph still part of my life, Nowt wrong with your Tiger 1050 by the way - good bike 👍

@@FarmerTorque I'll look out for the latest vid, and also go back to your Scrambler vid which caught my eye a while back, but I never watched it. Sadly the Triumph Tiger is off the road temporarily, I sat and passed my test 19 years ago, and sent the pass certificate off for adding to my licence, at the same time I was battling UK immigration over my Filipino wife. They failed to update my licence claiming I included the wrong fee, they now say I never claimed my motorcycle licence and must re sit the test. I had more important things to fight over at the time. However having passed my test, I did go on to own a Triumph 900 Thunderbird Sport which was simply the most fun you could have on two wheels!! Now there's one bike I wish they would retro, which in itself was a modern take on a retro when made in 1996-8. Look it up on KZfaq, the one with the 3 into 2 exhaust, the roar of it turned heads at 30mph, and my mate second he could hear it coming from 4 miles away. Thankfully the Tiger Sport is fitted with an SP Engineering exhaust, a bit more roar than the standard pipes, bloody EU regulations, now exhausts have to look like smoke stacks and barely murmur. Hope you have many happy safe miles on the Scrambler and if your ever up in Scotland I can recommend some serious twisties with awesome views. Hopefully I will be road legal again in a month or so, can't wait to make that Tiger PURrrr!!

No problems - I found it really comfortable. Between the two I prefer the R riding position.

Ummm....interesting question, Certainly it would do it, low speed stuff is easy peesey - I wouldn't buy one to use in the city - but if it were your only bike it would get buy admirably - Farmer

Thank you very much - really appreciated - Farmer

Can't ask for more than that Neil, pleasure to have you along for the ride ;) Thank you.

Thanks tangzie....Near enough 6ft .

Maybe you will get a Hayabusa 😜 in the meantime you may like to watch my ‘which Rocket to buy’ - 😂 Thanks, Chris

I’m tempted to agree Brad 👌

Very easy bike to like Olli.....;)

Fair comment I think, Draconorst

Thank you Andrew. Umm , dangerous words uttered there ‘ I might’ ......😜

Hi Ray - I thought the gearbox was very good - lunchtime today chatted to a guy who owned the last model and just ridden the new - he confirmed the new box much better

@@FarmerTorque What does that mean? Why haven't any reviews talked about the gear box? That's one of the very first parts of a motorcycle review (no offense). The engine & transmission are both of equal importance, most of the driving experience is shifting.

@@Ritalie If you take a look at my video at around 13.20 mins I DO talk about the gearbox - describing it as very good - as mentioned the bike does not feel under-geared in any way - it is very relaxed. Hope this helps you - Farmer

jshtr - 360 camera on a pole - thanks for watching 👍

@@FarmerTorque thanks very much

Not the best - maybe 100 if your very silly - I’d guess 130/140 more likely for most

Hello Ian, Sadly no, I’ve not ridden the earilier model - so can’t comment. But I have chatted with those who have ridden both. Here’s my thoughts - The new bike is painfully good, be of no doubt. But if your bike probably has more charisma and that’s the thing to consider. You will know if it’s time for a change. If it is, buy the new bike without a concern. There you go.... Simples..... 😜 Err maybe not 😳 Have fun - Farmer

I'm going to take a wild guess that you're quite excited! Thanks for kind words - Farmer

@@FarmerTorque Lol, ....er.

Thanks for the kind words - Cheers, Farmer

"Tourer weapon" wow. More like a CRUISE MISSILE. 😉
