Jonathan Handler take you to the South of France where Jonathan got to ride the local roads on the all-new, redesigned Triumph Rocket 3<\/a>. The Rocket comes in two flavors: the Storm R model, and the Storm GT version. The two-and-a-half liter engine puts out a claimed 180 horsepower and a tarmac-shredding 166 ft\/lbs of torque. Jonathan talks to us about his experiences of the local roads riding the beast, and whether the Rocket 3\u2019s astonishing numbers result in a well-tamed muscle-machine, or if it is completely unmanageable.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever tried riding at the drag strip? In our second segment this week, Teejay Adams chats with tuner and racer, \u2018Shorty\u2019 Cruz, owner of <a href=https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/tag/dust-moto/'https:////www.facebook.com//p//Shortys-Performance-100035393156577//'>Shorty/u2019s Performance in North Hollywood, California<\/a>. \u00a0Shorty and his amazing daughter Gisela both regularly ride at <a href=https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/tag/dust-moto/'https:////irwindalespeedway.com//irwindale-dragstrip//'>Irwindale Dragstrip<\/a> where they test their bikes and reaction-times inexpensively and in a safe environment. Going to the raceway doesn\u2019t necessarily need a Top Fuel multi-million dollar dragbike; you ride whatever you like\u2014fast or slow\u2014and see if you\u2019re able to hone your skills and improve your technique, no matter what machine you\u2019re on. According to Gisela and Shorty, it\u2019s a fun, helpful community of like-minded people and it might just appeal to you to see what you can achieve on your bike.

Doing that while also working for the Pierer Mobility Group and GasGas at the same time just might be the perfect motorcycle career! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode.<\/p>\n<p><em>We love your feedback!
