Hi!
New to the forum just this month i purchased a new to me 06 rocket3.
It was the silver lining to a unfortunate accident i had on my 02 triumph bonneville america.
Hit a deere last November broke my collar bone. Caused some minor damage to the bike.
Insurance totalled the bike.
I bought it back and got another one.
Looking forward to making some new friends here!

Havent had much riding time in it yet
Still getting use to it. It is a monster machine
I will be having to lower it just a little and need to pull the bars back just a touch

Glad you made through the accident and found the group.

You will see posts on get togethers - east and west.
Last year the eastern Rockets Across America RAA was held in WV and NC the year before. You should consider attending as you are close.

Hey @Ddodge80 where are you in SC?

You mentioned lowering the bike. I would not recommend that, as it will of course cut down on your lean angle and effect handling. Although @mexican is referred to as the shortest member on the forum, I think that I actually now hold that title. I'm just under 5'6" and after a "short" acquaintance period when I first got it, I've learned to handle the bike just fine. You will too.
