Aloha....old school triumph guy....just picked up a 2009 R3 with 298 miles on it a month or so ago.....just did my break in. Love the bike. Had tons of old triuphs/harleys/jap over the years.....this bike is a scream. First bike that actually gave a bit of a scare slapping gears in a long time....finding the torque can actually send me off the back if I am not holding on hard....I generaaly leave that little bit of fun for passangers..LOL. Anyhow, good to be here.

Welcome from Germany (by way of Mississippi)!!
Where you from? And how did you find an 09 with that few miles??? Must've scared the hell out of the previous owner once he put the preds on
 
Welcome from Texas... I asssume with the "Aloha" you're in Hawaii.. Miss my old school Triumph's as well.. Maybe once I get one or both of these kids graduated, I can get met another to go with my Rocket..
 
G'day and Welcome from one of the Aussies .. grew up riding Triumphs as well , looking for another older one right now. Rocket sure is a hoot. Just klicked over 100,000klms on my '09 purchased Standard.
 
Welcome Mate, From Brisbane Australia. Start playing with the rocket..... It gets better
 
Welcome from Texas! Congrats on the new Rocket. I added a solo seat to mine and almost rolled off the back trying it out, after riding the first year with a back rest. Hang on to that bad boy!
