. . . on my r3r with Corbin+TORs+RamAir+Tsuyaku hard bags . . .I throw a leg over, flip on the grip warmers and rumble the big triple up from a two week slumber. Back pedal out from the garage, look both ways, and then effortlessly I am on my way . . . through cedar and pine tree lined roads out to the city. On occasion i grab a bit of extra throttle on the upshift. 2nd gear is remarkable and seems to go forever. . . giddy with the raw grunt and hustle of the rocket when the throttle is cracked - especially on a cold day. What a machine. The seat is remarkable, almost gaudy - it is so handsomely made. I was always flatfooted on the rocket to begin with, but now I sit deep down in the bike - huge improvement - much easier to turn at low and high speeds. The full throat roar of intake is almost as loud as the exhaust - and almost as intoxicating.
What a machine.
I love this bike.
