New guy from Portland

[mcan1x]

Hi all, my name's Harry, been lurking about for a few days, guess it's time for the intro.
On a whim, I checked out my local dealer before Christmas, ended up leaving with a new Rocket Tour.
Been a Harley guy for the last 30 years, spent a few years with Victories, and was really hoping for more from the new Indians.
The last brit bike I messed with shifted on the right and rode like a buckboard..

Wanted something momma could be comfy on the back of and was considering either a BMW or a Ducati, but never made it to check them out after meeting this beast.
Nothing but frozen smiles so far.

Nice to meet everyone, from what I've seen so far, it seems like a little better vibe around the Triumph community, both local and online.

Welcome from Idaho. New or used ? What year did you buy ? Any mods ? If not, we can help.

New '15, no mods so far, but the dealer threw in their version of a louder exhaust and flash, hasn't been done yet, and I hadn't done enough reading before hand to see I'd be better off doing it myself..lol

Yeah, a bit too cool, we're making ice here, but it makes the dealers a bit easier to talk to

Yeah, between the sleet and black ice it's making this whole getting used to the bike a lot tougher, but still trying.
