Welcome, and hell as long as the roads are clear ride the bike. The windscreen does a good job keeping the head wind off and the engine does produce some warmth.
First ride I took on mine it was 28 degrees and snowing lightly at the dealership. I did not have any of my riding gear. It was the coldest 3 miles I had ever ridden and that smile was frozen on my face.
Skip the white walls, but definitely scrap the metzlers, they make her handle like a Backhoe! I have put on Michelin commander ll, 130/90b/ 16 on the front 180/65b/16 rear, makes the bike feel a hundred pounds (160kg) lighter plus they turn in better and last longer! Good luck with the bike!
Sudbury now.... You will only be 3 hours from me. I'm in Sudbury several times a year so let me know if you need a riding partner.
Adriano, that is a great colour. I saw one at the Ottawa Goodtime Center not long ago and was tempted. If I was to purchase a touring, that would be the preferred colour.

I agree skip the white walls. They look great, but keeping them clean and looking good is a major undertaking. Plus the tires do not last that long on these bikes.
Haven't decided about the place as yet- two good job offers but two different places. Any ideas? Sudbury or Peterborough?
And about the ride.... I can't bring my R3 with me from the UK
So will have to buy another one haha where are the nearest triumph dealerships located?
