Good morning R3owners.net folks!

I have a 2012 Roadster, almost entirely stock (just accessory slip-ons and heated grips)
I've been riding for only a few years, caught the bug in 2010 and bought a little japanese cruiser that suited my experience and wallet, but drooled over the Speedmaster and Thunderbird while I was shopping and looked upon the R3 as an impossible dream.

Well a couple years and a couple jobs later I jumped on an end-of-season financing deal and picked up my impossible dream in November 2012. Since then I've put on a little over 3000 miles (not too impressive, but not bad considering I live in snow country and winter here is long and very slippery).

I adore my Rocket and I am a huge fan of the Triumph brand, the company's attitude and history, and really everything about their bikes (especially the Rocket). I look forward to many gleeful miles and years with this bike and hopefully with some of the people who share my love for these big British brutes.

Welcome Rochester NY! I am also from Rochester and love my Roadster. There is no bike like the Rocket. You might also catch the mod bug.

Welcome from Downunder. I rode my first Rocket while I was waiting to test ride a T'Bird - and then there was no going back. Good to have you join us.

Welcome from Texas! Rode my new Rocket from Dallas to NYC 2 weeks after I brought her home, but didnt have enough time to make it up to Rochester though I hope to someday. Lots of good people and stuff on this site to help you tweak your scooter. Glad to have you here!

Welcome from Ohio. Enjoy the ride. Don't underestimate the addiction of the mod bug mentioned above.

I may have seen you around! I've only ever seen 1 Rocket III "in the wild" around here so there's a good chance it was you. We should get together! I'm still a little ginger with the throttle at launch and I'm slowly gaining cornering confidence, but I LOVE EVERY SECOND I am on my R3.
