Last night, signed the paperwork and purchased a Red 2005, R3. OMG.... test drove it and wow.. what a bike. I wanted to have a little fun, pushed it past 5k rpm and looked down and was doing 105 mph. It was handling like no other bike I have ever driven. Downside, I won't be able to pick it up for another week, until the accessories are installed. (ThrottleMeister, Shield, backrest/rack, panniers, all OEM)

HAIL to TRIUMPH!!!

Glad to have you with us and for goodness sakes, stop looking at the clock.......that'll only make time slow down. I actually heard you smiling in your description of your first encounter with the "BEAST". If you have a question, suggestion or comment then you've come to the right place.

Keep us posted!
