Well done Rocket Scientist - i also have another, less commonly used nickname (rhymes with Delores).

Though since buying the R3 most people call me Sir Lord Captain Doctor Boss.

Mulva......?????

Ha ha another Seinfeld fan???

On a more serious note - got very wet and wind-buffeted today at highway speed (still running-in so nothing above 3000 rpm). I'm not interested in a full screen but would appreciate any feedback y'all might have re fly screens....?

Also is this the right section to post this type of query?

If it's not (the right section)
We've got a moderator that can and will move it.
Might want to open another thread tho, so this one can remain "pure"
as an introduction thread.
Chris (Evil Bob's) flyscreens come to mind right off tho.
quality workmanship for sure...

Hi Guy

Welcome again from North Carolina

As far as the wind.....That is what is so great about riding a Nakkid...Bike

There is no feeling in the world...like ripping down the interstate at 85 MPH with one hand on the throttle and the wind blowing.

On the screen thing, I have to confess to not being a fan at all (I can't stand the buffeting around my head) but plenty of guys on here swear by them. I'm happy to take the wind in the chest because I find the lights, gauges and tank all help keep it to a relatively bearable level; just ride a T'Bird or America and you'll notice a huge difference. I've tried a few options and really prefer naked. There are a few different types of fly screen including clear and coloured ones from Triumph and you can look here and/or e-bay.
Custom sculpted flyscreens

If you possibly can, try riding a few bikes with different screens before forking out $. Just my opinion mind.

Good info - ta!

In the interest of unadulterating the thread and continuing the introduction.... I like football and ****o and books about war, I've got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor - no, wait, that's Dennis Leary.....

I've spent 20 yrs fully fared my naked friends - Japanese 4's. This is my first cruiser and I'm already addicted. I test rode a T'Bird Storm (with Hogslayers) through a tunnel at full throttle and expected to find myself wearing a cape with my underpants on the outside when I got back to the dealership......then came Rocket. I imagine that the Triumph team sat around and thought about what would happen if Chuck Norris impregnated a diesel locomotive and Rocket was the result!
