New R3R owner in SoCal

OW-DO , from S/W/ England, Al. Be prepared ta wear a silly grin from now on--Rockets have that effect
 
Two new babies in just over a year? You are either one brave dude.

Another big welcome to the site from New Jersey, Captain alpental.

Like the others said, break Angela in slow and easy or she just might break you!
Take your time getting familiar with her performance envelope, practice slow speed maneuvering and braking in a large, empty parking lot and remember; It ain't about how fast you can go, it's about how fast you can safely stop.

Double double animal style is a reference to California burger chain In N Out. Double cheeseburger with the patties grilled in mustard, grilled onions, and the rest (as opposed to plain grilled, raw onions). I guess it's a SoCal thing. Didn't know there were so many Aussies on here!

See there late at night only the Mates are up!
Welcome to this awesome forum from up north of you in WA.
Angela is indeed a beauty = your wife may have been clairvoyant.
Me thinks you likely may spend more time astride Angela than her.

Born and raised in Seattle, just moved down here 3 years ago. Didn't realize how much I'd miss the food in Seattle.
 
Thanks for the welcome and advice. I know it's a big bike, and the sales mgr tried to talk me out of it, but I'm big enough to move it around and old enough to not try something too stupid. Spent half an hour doing figure 8s, emergency stops, etc. in the beach parking lot (watch out for sand) before venturing out on the road. I don't know that I've even opened the throttle up half way yet. Got caught in some unexpected rain and crosswinds today on the freeway, but made it home safely. We'll see how commuting goes tomorrow.
My wife's family is from Jersey and I make fun of her for saying "worter" instead of water, and "corrfee" instead of coffee.

Definitely. I'll keep an eye out for you around here, and maybe we can plan a short daytrip to Pizza Port in San Clemente, or Malibu Seafood and a canyon run, with some other area riders.
 
Your Killing ME! I haven't had one in 9 years and still remember the Flavors. God how I miss it.
 
Oh sorry for neglecting the welcome but the talk of Double double animal style sent me over the edge Oh ya, Welcome from Georgia.
