Can't Beat Experience!

Welcome Bob, Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, I started riding 57yrs. ago and sounds like we have very similar bike backgrounds, with the Brit bikes. All my bikes over the years have mostly been Triumphs, a Norton Cammando and several BSA's. In 2001 bought my 1st. generation Triumph Thunderbird, and later added many performance upgrades,Speed Triple cams, Domed pistons, Valve job to the heads K&N's, new exhaust and etc. Major results! In 2005 went on several Demo rides on the Rocket lll at the National Triumph Rally in Galena,IL. That was it for me "The Triumph of Triumph's"! Bought my new 2006 R-3, and its been the performer and best bike I've ever owned ! As far as age goes, I think there's allot of guys on here that won't step up to the plate. The R-3 keeps me young and in a happy state every time I throw a leg over her! "It is The Experience"!
 
Thanks for the welcome.

and decidedly more reliable than bikes of yore.

I am already finding that out, why it even has one of those fancy pushbutton starters!

My last Norton had one of those also, an 850 Commando Electric Start, I took the starter off, it weighed more than it helped!
