(almost) new Rocket in the Rockies

Thanks - Melbourne is where I had the best churro I've ever tasted... dipped in different types of chocolate at each end I'm still in touch with people at La Trobe Uni, so maybe I'll get back there one day. Sorry to hear about all the wildfires you've been dealing with along the coast.

Cheers Christopher, what's a Churro? sorry I haven't heard this before...

Yes, I enjoyed a few good meals while visiting. And the people I met there were very welcoming in the chilly July weather.

Nice to have another R3 in Utah. I'm up in Ogden. Moved here from Provo a couple years ago. Lived there for about 18 years. Nice area. Not sure how many R3 owners we have in Utah, but it's not enough.

You're right - there aren't all that many Triumphs around here, period, let alone Rockets. I've only ever seen a few. But it's good to be different

Hi Bobs, welcome aboard. I've got an exactly identicle one myself and if you enjoy yours as much as I do mine, you'll have a wonderful experience.

Hope the snow doesn't hang around too long.

My only experience riding a Roadster so far is about a mile around the block on a used-bike dealer test drive last summer, and up my driveway three days ago. So I'm eagerly anticipating the process of getting familiar with my new ride!

That's just pure torture. I don't mind some short, cold rides in town, but ice and snow on the road ... that's a deal breaker.
