2009 Triumph Rocket 3 Touring
Hi All,
Tom from Kansas City here — just bought a 2009 R3 Touring after 30+ years on 3 different 1983 Honda Magna V65 1100s. Great bike, but at 59 thought it was time for a change! I welcome any thoughts and suggestions for a newbie!

Hello Tom and welcome from Virginia. Let's that that bike. Can't give suggestions till then.
 
WELCOME! to our R3 Family... What I learned long ago is ride her... than ride some more... and then she'll let you know what she needs (or you want!). She looks perfectly set up. For me, long rides were more enjoyable with a riders backrest. Enjoy your new Perma-Grin
 
Ride and enjoy. Upgrades can come in time and there are plenty of folks here that have had plenty of experience modifying these bikes.
