Seriously Considering an R3!


I'm going Triumph and not looking back. I was hooked after the first ride.

Howdy neighbor!! Have you dealt with St. Pete Power Sports? They want to make me an offer on my Harley but I'm sure I'll do better selling it myself. Looking forward to meeting you!
 
Alrighty then, Knifemaker! Let your R3 Captain's Course commence.

For starters, be sure to watch this video from start to finish and then you'll know what went into making The Beast...

St. Pete Powersports are a good dealership. I've been dealing with them for another bike. They are definitely a Triumph shop (along with other brands). Another dealer is Eurocycles in Odessa (Tampa). They are more interested in BMW / Ducati than Triumph, but they are a good small family shop. I got my R3T from them.
 
Jeez!!

Not a single BITE on Craigslist for me Fatbob. Not even a tire kicker at asking 13.5K The things like new, less that 2K miles with the exhaust, ProTuner and intake. I really want an R3 but I'd almost have to GIVE the Harley away as a trade in I really don't have space to keep both bikes.
 
I'd give it a couple more weeks.. Spring is in the air, the prime bike selling time is coming up.. The FatBob is a nice lookin' bike.. (hmm... those twin headlights look familiar!)..
 
Well guys..........

After 3 trips to the Triumph dealer I ended up falling in love with a 2011 Road Glide (103 Version) at Orlando HD. I finally sold my Fatbob on Craigslist. Considering many points and the storage capacity on the Harley, I went with the Glide. At this point, now that I have the big cruiser, the idea of a second bike like the T Bird really appeals to me. If business continues strong, I'll probably purchase one, late summer.

Thanks for all your imput. I really love the Triumph line and maybe someday, who knows, I'll end up with an R3 as well.
