New Roadster Owner-North Idaho

[Phalanx]

Welcome from VA!

If I had more time in the day I'd love to pick up a tiger and go trail hunting.

Just moseyed over to the Empire Book of Faces and saw you and your new pavement eater there. If you need to load tunes, borrow a cable or anything, let me know.

Congrats on the Roadster. I've had my '12 for just about a year now and love it more every day.

Been a year now! And you be only a few miles away?
WTF?

Are you the Torchie that used to hang round on the V2K forum???

Yeah I know. Been wearing a groove in 167 going to work and back every day and I hardly take her over to your neck of the woods. We're gonna have to meet up for a cold one.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I put about 250 miles on today. I'm impressed with how comfortable the bike is. My butt and legs weren't sore the entire ride. It's a bit of work in twisty mountain roads, I find it takes some pressure on the bars to countersteer as to most bikes that just lay into turns, but I guess that's part of a cruiser. Sure is stable on the highway, cruises very happily at 80.

I like your idea of keeping the XC and been thinking about riding the Rocket a couple hours to the nearest dealer to test drive one of them buggers. I like the idea of being able to mess around on the country roads that I do not attempt on my Rockets.

Welcome from Illinois

Go for it! Adventure riding opens up a whole new world that so few people see. We have many thousands of miles of dirt Forest Service roads in my state that are a ball to explore. Best part-very very few police to ruin a good ride. Lots of fun to be able to ride as fast as you like.

That's because you haven't been looking.

Welcome to the site.

I live a little west of Spokane and a coworker with a R3T lives up toward the VA hospital. I have seen a red/black R3T at Westside on days they have their riding course. So they are around.

That's good to hear! We may need to organize a Triumph ride some weekend.

I would love to have an 800XC but I would have to sell the Rocket to get it and that ain't happening. But my son has a '12 XC so I just steal his when he ain't looking
