New R3 Owner in Raleigh, NC

Rphd bbq

Yes, it was Kristie. I will be there on Saturday for the BBQ cook off. $5 and all you can eat - would I miss that? I'll be sure to look for you. Might not ride the R3 because of the crap pillion seat situation for my wife. New Corbin will be 3 weeks. I'll see if she can stand it to get down town and back. Might have to be the Wing! Hope not, although I do love that bike.

On the seat thing, the bike was on the RPHD site with a nice Corbin seat and, when I got there, it mysteriously had a cheap Classic seat on it. They offered to replace it with a Touring seat and a sissy bar and luggage rack. Overnight, I rethought it and went back to them. They agreed that the bike should have been sold as shown and ordered me the Corbin. I have to admit, although it was a little contentious on my part, RPHD have been extremely courteous and professional to deal with. Just wandering around the store everyone is very pleasant and genuinely friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to go Triumph in this area (or even HD, if you have that issue!).
 
Patch

It was just a situation of running out of time. Otherwise, it would have been much longer!

BTW, where can I get one of those patches? I definitely qualify!

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.
 

Jordan took the seat off and was trying to sell it to me a few months back and I didn't want it. I think it went out on another Rocket they sold. If I remember I think I saw the seat at Bikefest. Come see me, I'll have somethin there besides the pig We did 150 miles yesterday so when you get your seat sorted out, lets ride 2 up with the gals. Sound good? Pick N Pig ?

Flick a PM (Private Message) to xhdskip and ask him for a Geezer patch; he has them. I still have maybe 1 spare one (in Australia) but probably easier for you to get from Skip. If not, send me a PM.
 
Hey Nobs, which R3 didya get? The black with the Corbin bags? I looked at that one back in the Spring, but ended up coming home with the Roadster. It was not quite sorted out when I bought it, I had to take it to the Asheville dealer to have them figure it out. I hope RP has gotten a decent Triumph mechanic since when I bought mine. They blamed it on bad gas. turned out to be a misplaced vaccuum line from the factory. Jordan and Krisitie were great to deal with. The funny thing is they are still sitting on my Road Glide. Josey, I may show up and sample some of your Que too!
