By Bandit | | General Posts
The Grinnall ‘R3T’ is undoubtedly unique in the trike market. Based on Triumph’s brilliant and much-acclaimed, shaft driven Rocket 3, the R3T performs like no other trike. And its styling, by Steve Everitt Automobile Designs Ltd, so compliments the original lines that it might have been penned at Triumph’s own design studios in Leicestershire. - See more at: http://www.bikernettrikes.com/pages/THE_GRINNALL_RT3_TRIKE.aspx#sthash.ncNbpouD.dpuf READ FULL STORY

Victory's boldest bike to ever roll off the line! Baggers are hot! Anyone following the motorcycle scene can't have missed this fact. HEAVY DUTY magazine has been running tours to Sturgis for our readers since 1997 and in that time we have seen a lot of changes in the industry. Choppers dominated for a number of years but have now almost vanished from the scene. It's baggers, baggers and more baggers.

Well Victory Motorcycles have seen this trend growing and have thrown their hat ...
