Hello from NSW Central Coast

[Scuba Craig]

Hello. A quick intro ...

I have owned my pre-loved 2010 R3 Roadster for around 18 months. I had only ridden Japanese sports tourers for the previous 30 years so this purchase had many firsts ...

• first Triumph,
• first "Cruiser" - only quoted because I have read a number of reviews where they state the R3 is not in the Cruiser category. To me it is.
• first big block bike - previous bike was only an 1100.

I must say it is the best bike I have ever owned. Some of that sentiment is probably due to my advancing years and girth no longer being suited to sports bikes. But that aside, it is the best.

The previous owner had kindly customised the bike from standard. The things I've noticed include slightly taller handle bars, new exhaust (still Triumph brand), air box replaced with 3 pods, airbox cover custom-carved in to a nice bear claw shape.

Since then, I have added leather panniers, and Kuryakyn ISO grips (the old grips were falling off).
