Greetings Fellow Rocketeers:
After a 22-year hiatus from riding a 75 Yamaha 650 twin in college, I stumbled upon Triumph. I am a university professor of construction engineering and the institution took my parking space away last fall (big deal when on campus). I used the situation to get back into biking and sat on many bikes with the exception of BMW which I said I would always have. At the local Triumph shop I sat on the Scrambler and my body fell in love with it—still is after 6 months, but wanted to make some cross-country trips with my wife and the Scrambler just is not designed for such.
The road has always been good medicine for me and the academic lifestyle is brutal-contrary to common stereotype. The Scrambler introduced me to Triumph and all the fun I was not having. At 46 yrs, no time to waste, so as with many, hanging out with my new friends at the Triumph shop, I test rode a used R3. End result is my ownership of ‘Amos’, blue/white 07 R3 Classic with Corbin bags and fairing. Got a speeding ticket on my 1st day out with the R3, so I plan on keeping the scrambler around! Been reading the threads on this site and find very informative. Look forward to posting with some of you…from Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
