[R34ME]

Hi all, Thought I should introduce myself,, Stefan from New Zealand Kiwi country that is, a Triumph fanatic for many years, I passed on my 2002 speed triple a couple of months ago and purchased a 2005 R3 Black of course, I am a Service Manager in a large Mitsubishi Motors Franchise, and my Rocket is an absolute thrill to ride, looking to purchase a Tuneboy and just purchased some D & D's 3 into 2's to give the bike a little more buzz, I appreciate the valued information and feedback from everyone thats post's on this forum, it gives owners the how, and why, and helps explain the good or bad points to any type of modification's we may wish undertake on this superb piece of engineering, a great bunch of guy's, thanks all.

Gooday Stefan. My name is Mark I am an Aussie Rocket rider here in Christchurch working unfortunately bike back in oz. I have done a few mods and work on my Rocket and can give you hand. If you get tuneboy I would like to see how that works. I can fix you up with a workshop manual. My nz mobile is 02102254893

Good to hear Mark, I will keep you posted when Tuneboy arrives, my pipes should be here soon, so I can loose the cat and drop in a new tune.

Stefan, I am sure you will enjoy the R3, a quick blast to Westport sounds a must, The Canterbury plains should test the radar systems of the local plods?
Regards RodB, a kiwi living in Oz

Hey Mav and R34ME... Will you guys be in Christchurch come Feb 2007? I will be shipping my GS over for a tour of NZ and would love to catch up. Hey MAV when are you going to ride with us again? Did you get to Bombala??

[Mav68]

Gooday Steve got to Bombala alright. Great ride down via Albury across mountains to Cooma then f**cken 3 days of rain. Bought some Ikon shocks for rear. Better than stock but would love to sample the Progressives. Got pinged last weekend by a fat pig with a hair dryer doing 97km in a 70 zone. Other than that things a little slow.

Bummer Mav! I heard of a few guys on their way to the Moto GP who ran the gauntlet on the cops by covering their lisense plates with the rego label and just did the runner. Only to be picked up down the road by a speed trap set-up just for this. Poor buggers :razz: Hope your lisense is safe mate!!

Hey Steve would be great to catch up, I have heaps of holidays owing, and always up for a ride. Keep in touch.

[SteveRed]

Ye I will certainly do that. Hope you won't mind but I will be on my GS Adventure not the R3... Cost too much to bring that beauty over!! :-D
