Greetings all,
I'm more of a lurker than anything. I usually only end up on forums if a search engine steers me to one. I am a fan of spirited riding and generally only rode sportbikes. Ive owned naked sportbikes and fully faired race replicas. I currently own a 17 BMW S1000RR. But alas, we all age. I'm not willing to give it up but I did take to the interwebs to find a "more comfortable" solution to my need for POWA!
I discovered the Triumph Rocket and had to test ride one. Found a guy who had a 06 RIII classic in a barn with only 6K on the clock. He let me ride it. I came back the next day added it to my stable. It wasn't very well maintained cosmetically but didnt have any dings or dents. It's in my profile pic. Cleaned up nicely. Did a few mods. Currently, she is disassembled. All body panels are at the paint shop (I liked the yellow but...). The tires are still on from the original purchase so those are coming off. Got the Avon Cobras sitting in my family room. Need to figure out how to jack this thing up. Everything I've done so far has been done without the need to raise it up. Any suggestions on the tire change will be well received. Purchased a Sissy bar, found out it only fits on the Touring model and decided I should probably join a forum and run these things by somebody before I lose more money. (If you need a touring QD sissy bar let me know).
Anyway... Im interested in getting into this cruiser lifestyle and meeting some other R3 owners. Havent see one on the road around here. I did run down to OC bike week and saw 1 touring model parked. Looking forward to seeing more!
