Supercharged
I've had my R3T for 12 days now. I've only ridden 5 of those days. 1000 miles this morning !!!
This bike continues to impress me. I have since fitted the Long Haul dual seat with the backrest. I have also put on the Triumph front dresser bars with some Kuryakyn offset pegs. I've also installed the Auxiliary Light bar, and finally a Stebel air horn in the left side cover.
The handling on this bike is terrific. I seem to be taking turns / curves faster than I did on my VTX. Most likely this is due to the higher ground clearance. The floorboards were scraped down to near nothing on the VTX. I've only scraped the boards once on the Rocket, at about 55.
She's very smooth on the highway. Although I think I will save up for a Clearview screen that's a bit taller and wider. It only bothers me when it's very cold, or when I'm wearing a half helmet. This bike is also very quiet. On a recent ride, my friends pointed out that they could not hear my bike much when I launched it. Roll on full throttle, and it's very quiet.
I am still 'getting used to' the low speed handling. I really just need to go and practice in a parking lot. The weight is balanced well. I can certainly complete basic and emergency maneuvers, just not with the confidence I had previously. That will just take some time. No worries.
This bike is an awesome ride. I get people interested in it most every place I go.
It's nice to have something different and be proud of it.
And a thanks is due to all the helpful people here. I appreciate it.
