Hi All,

Been a sports bike rider always, and this was the only "cruiser" which fit the bill in performance, ride-ability and looks. Just got my R3R shipped over from London a short while back ( Triumph hasn't launched in India yet, no dealers), and it's been one hell of a ride, on open roads, in our notorious traffic with no lane discipline, cows, dogs, camels and what have you , this beast fits in like a glove and does she ride!

Been reading up on a lot of Tech talk on this forum and it's been an eyeopener as to the potential this bike has, looking forward to setting her up with guidance from you guys.

Another g'day from Australia. Welcome. Make sure you post some pictures - would love to see some of your local colour and sights. Are there any other Rockets there that you know of?

Welcome from Canada! You are going to love the Rocket as well as this site. The people here are second to none and this is really a unique forum in terms of the quality of posts and level of support and comradery. What part of India are you from?

Here is what Triumph is saying about dealerships in India:

"Currently there are no Triumph dealerships open in India and the plan is to have dealers operational by October 2012 and sales/ bookings to start after that. We are looking to appoint dealers at Delhi/ Mumbai and Bangalore. This will be followed by dealerships in Pune, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Chennai, Hyderabad, Cochin and Goa over the next year."

Welcome aboard Captain.

A co-worker and I were talking about lane discipline, or the lack thereof, in India. He said that the lines "are only a suggestion."

Also, since it seems like drivers in India drive with their horns as much as the steering wheel, it would be advisable to replace the wimpy stock horn with something like a Stebel. That will make others notice you!
