New R3 Owner in Raleigh, NC

[nobs11]

Stole my 2005 R3 from the local HD/Triumph dealer yesterday for $6495, 7400 miles.. Corbin seat on the way, courtesy of the dealer (long story). First ride, about 60 miles today. OMG! I kept my GL1800 for when the wife wants a sedate day out, but this is my new date!

Finally, the ex-pat Brit has his British bike.

Welcome from Downunder, nobs. 60 miles on your first day?? What's wrong with you, man? Did it break down? Just kidding. That feeling doesn't go away, by the way.

Good deal!... You know you're required to post pics, right lol. I've had mine for quite a while now.. had to do without it for most of this past summer, and road borrowed bikes and got my Trophy going... but there's not substitute for the Rocket..

Welcome from sunny Fort Myers, nobs, where the blue waters of the gulf kiss the sandy beaches (gotta try and keep up with Uncle Jesse).
Sounds like you got a decent deal on your R3 and the Corbin's got to be better than the stock seat (and I've got time, tell me the long story about the seat). Great group of people here-you'll get all the info you need to truly enjoy your new beast.

Hey Nobs, ride down Saturday the 12th to the dealership at noon to eat some BBQ and vote on the best. I'll be the one with the red and yellow flamed pig cooker and the banner " BACKWOODS BBQ". We can talk Rockets while you eat.
