First good ride on the new R3R

Took my new R for a long ride today and had a couple of funny moments! Two older gents at the gas station thought it was really something! They asked how big the motor was and I said 2500cc's. The one fellow said and I quote," It must be a real rocket!!!" I almost fell over and told him it was a Rocket!!!!!!! Too funny! The other fellow told me to never sell it so my grand kids could enjoy it!! I told him I planned to keep it for the rest of my life. Then a young guy in a pickup at a light asked how big the engine was? I told him and he got real excited and started laughing and smiling at me and took off!!!!! It's just that kind of bike!!!! And I'm getting 40mpg,,,,or so it claims!!! This is by far the best, fastest, most complete bike I've ever had, Handles like a big sportbike and it's comfortable!! I think Triumph will have to make more of them!!!!! Wooohooooo,,,,,,,,,,

I get the same reaction and about the same mpg. This is by far best handling cruiser I've owned. With a few more mods I'll make it my own.
