OK, I'll never call myself a "Cruiser" rider, but I am proud to own and operate a Rocket.
I am not new to Triumph. I own a 1998 Daytona T595. I love the bike, but I just don't see myself riding a sportbike anymore. Even one as comfortable as the Daytona. I'm a 6'8" guy and the sportbikes are killing my wrists.
I freaking love the R3R! I could never give up going fast and out accelerating most supercars, so I told myself that if I ever got anything other than a full faired sportbike, I'd get the Rocket. Well, that sooner or later thing happened much sooner than expected.
I'm most likely one of the youngest people on this site with a New R3 at 27. Being a tall guy, I still make this thing look tiny. But most anything next to me looks tiny.

I am currently in Iraq finishing my second deployment here and bought the bike on R&R. I put about 300 miles on it and now all I can do is plan the parts I need to get when I finally get home.
I am planning the flyscreen from triumph, belly pan from newr3,Staintune exhasut (new for the roadster CALmoto: Staintune Part: 235c3, Rocket III Roadster Mega Slash Cut Mufflers and Collector Set), and some random powder coating (as much chrome as possible) and ceramic coating (exhaust).
I love the matte black paint. I didn't even notice there was a new Roadster model until the paint caught my eye. I know, how can flat black catch an eye? Well I love flat black. My 1965 Ford Falcon is flat black and my 1999 Ford SVT Lightning will soon be flat black. I'll post pics of those too. I will have to wait a couple months to put them all side by side.
This seems to be a very friendly site. I look forward to passing time on this forum!
