    Hello from(relatively) sunny SC, USA.
    Currently have a 2019 Speed Twin and 1200 Scrambler. By the end of this month I’ll be a year older, but should have my new Rocket 3 GT arriving just in time to help me celebrate the occasion.
    Have had many motorcycles of different brands over the years, but really like what Triumph is currently building and have a great dealer just 15 miles from my home.
    Will try to post pictures of the three together when the R3 arrives.
    John

    Welcome to a great forum and great community, John. What a great stable of Triumphs you'll soon have (and already have a good start on)! Looking forward to the pics of your three bikes when the Rocket joins the Speed Twin and 1200 Scrambler. :):cool: Where are you from in southern Cal? I lived in San Diego County for about eight years before moving to Tucson. We still try to get over to SD fairly regularly to soak in the ocean air and view.

    Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!
    To answer some of the questions... I’m fortunate to have a three bay garage and two vehicles, so that leaves plenty of room for the third motorcycle, which I didn’t have plans or need for, but you know how it is.
    I’m in good health, but I’ll turn 75 latter this month, so I’m going to enjoy riding as much as I can, while I still can.
    I have lived near Columbia, South Carolina, for the last 22 years. Before that I was in California and several other States due to my work.
    Enough about me!
    Looking forward to seeing owner comments about the R3. Everything that I have read is pretty positive.

    Oops! I misread sunny SC USA as So. Cal. Blooper on my part. My apologies, John. But perhaps you used to live in southern California? o_O Anyway, another big welcome to the forum. :)
