Hello Everyone,
Newbie here. Just bought a used 2005 R3 after owning a 1979 Triumph Bonneville Special and 1979 Triumph Bonneville for the last 15 years.
WOW! After my first R3 ride I believe my arms are now 2 inches longer. What incredible power. I've been wanting an R3 since they came out. The wife said if I get one it better have a comfortable seat. Well, I found one with what she wanted. Happy wife, happy life.

Greetings from Los Angeles. I picked up my first Triumph last week. It's a beautiful 2008 two tone blue Touring R3 and boy am I loving it. I have been a Yamaha Roadstar rider for the last 14 years and needed a bit of a change. The R3 is amazing and so far so good. I do have a question or two though. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on which pullback risers work best without having to change the cables. Also I am hoping its normal for the tranny to sound out a pronounced clunk when shifting? I am really hoping that this thing is as trouble free as my Roadstar has been. Man is this thing fast!!!
Thanks for having me here!

Hello All. I'm living in the beautiful lake country of Central Minnesota. I ride a 2005 Rocket and my wife rides a 2004 Speedmaster. I handed it down to her after buying my Rocket in 2007 and added a few mods to make her comfortable. I love my Rocket and have about 130,000 miles riding the darkside. (about 140,000 miles total) It's been an incredibly dependable bike but at the midpoint of this year it started jumping teeth in 4th gear. Oh well.....who needs it! I still love this bike and don't plan to worry about it until maybe the end of next year. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello, my name is Bob and I live in Ontario Canada. I just had the best 4 months on my new 2015 Rocket III Roadster. I have tucked it in for the winter now and miss it every day. Now all I do is think about what I should be doing to my R3 in anticipation for next summer. I am looking at the Ramair filter box removal kit and have questions, hence the community interest. Where better to go for answers...
What are the first items I should be looking at for my riding experience ? I haven't had a bike in a very long time so the newbe needs to learn a lot. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot in advance.
