Hello from the Chicago suburbs

[ahpd1992]

Hi, purchased my used, new to me 08 R3T in October with a whopping 1700 miles on the odometer from the Victory dealer here in town. He took it in on a trade and now its mine all mine. I was a BMW rider for a long time, sold my K1200LT to buy the Triumph, and have been interested in Triumph's since they made their comeback in the early 90's. While I liked the Rocket III when I test rode it, there were too many things I couldnt get past looks wise for me to buy one. Well that all changed with the Touring model. I know its a bit staid and boring for some, but remember I came off of a BMW touring bike. Anyway Ive been lurking around this site for some time and decided to finally register.

Any other northern Illinois Rocket pilots on this board?

Glad to hear there is another R3 owner in the area! I'm in Streamwood - just off Barrington Rd.

It's contagious, I bought one (05 Rocket III) last summer and can hardly wait for nice weather again. Oh, by the way, from Wilmington.
