First rocket 3, been drooling over it for years

Welcome from sunny north Texas. Hope you have many happy miles.

I've been lurking a while and decided I'd finally introduce myself! I'm nearing 30 and this is my third bike. My first was a Yamaha virago 1100, second, a Kawasaki Vulcan 900, and now the 2014 Triumph Rocket III touring! Found it used with only 1200 miles a couple months ago and finally pounced. I have a plan for customizing it and I'm excited to get into the community! I'm in the central Illinois area of the USA.

I live in southern Illinois. I owned 3 R3s. They still put a smile on my face. I've been riding a Rocket 3 since 2006. I started working a standard 2005. I now own 2 R3Ts. First thing is remapping. Remap it to regain the 30 plus ponies mother Triumph removed. Accessories are heard to obtain. Hopefully you've been blessed with a little louder pipes. One of mine has the Jardines (I was fortunate enough to get a set before they stopped manufacturing then). But now most the fiberglass is gone and they are very loud. The other R3T has a set of Triumph Off Road (TORs). They are mellow, but much better than stock. Let me know if you have questions. There are lots of great help on this forum.
