    Hi folks, newbie forum member from Westport New Zealand, just saying hello.

    I've recently purchased my 2023 Rocket 3 GT, I'm the 2nd owner of this lovely low mileage machine - 5900k's when I got it. The bike has a Penner Tune & Quick Shifter installed by the PO. He also had installed the Bluetooth module & connectivity module, which I'm not using at this time.

    I've had (and still got) a couple of GSX1400's for many years & have had much enjoyment from these bikes, however the 'ole bod' really seems to prefer the cruiser riding position now. I'm used to the GSX1400 forum, (one model) so coming into the Triumph one is quite different. Wondering if there is a specific section for the R3GT's?
    Looking forward to learning about the beast from you knowledgeable folk. Cheers!

    Just a quick question here please guys, everytime I post something I see a message saying "awaiting moderator approval" how long does this continue? Why have you found it necessary to moderate & approve posts from new members?

    Thx

    24 hours and my posts from yesterday are still waiting to be 'approved'

    Honestly IMO if you want new members & you want them to subscribe, you ought to at least encourage them by allowing them to post, or at the very least moderate & approve their posts in a timely fashion. How do you expect a new member to engage with the rest of the forum when their posts are not displayed in a logical progression?
    Yes, I can understand the Mods would be busy, but you implemented these restrictions, not the new members, so you have to either step up or remove the restrictions - IMO.

    Happy daze chaps.

    Yep! Loving mine. Had it nearly a month now & things are now becoming 2nd nature / more intuitive when riding it. Which makes it even more fun!
