New R3 owner

[BillyIndiana]

Welcome from Indiana.

Yup nothing else like it for sure. Welcome to the League of Captains. You are playing with the big boys now.

Welcome from South Australia. The other Aussies must have gone to bed early.

Good morning All,
Picked up the R3 roadster last week. Whilst I’ve had bikes for my whole adult life, never a Triumph, and particularly not a bike like this.
Any hints, tips, general do’s / don’ts will be much appreciated.
Look forward to chatting
Cheers

One thing I can say is be prepared to have very limited support from either Triumph or the after-market. I haven't been on the forum long but it seems to be full of helpful and rabidly faithful R3 fans so keep checking in!

The big don't.
DO NOT poke the bear - unless you REALLY REALLY want to. And especially not early on in the relationship.
It may be like a big cuddly teddy if you ride gently - but it can bite back hard if mistreated.
