2013 Triumph Rocket III Touring
Hey Yaw'll. I live in Texas and I'm a new R3 Touring owner. I rode a Triumph back in college (1968 - 1972) and then got away from motorcycles for a few decades. In 2003, I bought a Suzuki 805 and finally gave it to my son a few years later. In 2009, I bought a 2007 Sporty 1200. In 2013, I traded the Sporty in on a 2007 Victory Kingpin. I loved the Victory, but a chance came up for me to get a bike I've been lusting after for a few years. So, after only one year with the Victory, I traded it in on my 2013 R3 Touring. I've only owned it about three weeks and I'm ready for a few mods. I've always owned "loud" motorcycles. My R3 is not loud. In addition to enjoying a little sound, I think a moderately loud bike helps announce your presence to blind people operating cars and trucks. I'm springing for a D and D exhaust, K&N and a remap in the next week or two.

I've been trying to talk my old biker buds into taking a trip out to Shooters Grill in Rifle, CO when the weather warms up. Unfortunately, I'm hanging with a bunch of geezer-babies because they all whine about that being too far. I guess I'll have to go solo. For any of you 2nd Amendment folks out there, look up Shooters Grill on You Tube.

Happy trails.
 
Welcome from one of the Aussies and back to Triumph and enjoy your ride and the best triumph site on the web. :thumbsup:
 
Welcome to the club Old Gringo!!,
You need to come to Rockets Across America in Marbles Falls Arkansas the last week of April, you will see more rockets than you can count:)
 
Welcome to the site, and back to Triumph ownership

Bunch of us were in Montrose CO. Last year for an annual get together, I heard about the shooters grill then but didn't have a chance to stop in.
 
Welcome to the gang, from Georgia. Go ahead and ride. You may start off solo but with that bike you'll soon have friends.
 
WELCOME from WA State to the best MC forum anywhere! :thumbsup:
Congrats on your R3T and hope tp see a at Marble Falls, AR. :D
BTW - I rode right by that Shooters after RAA IX in Montrose on way to Estes! :(
