    V rod day

    Big ups to WMCC, what a great morning. Tried the VRSCA -fun cruiser, I now see why folks buy them.(took a while to get used to the footpegs so far forward). Didnt enjoy the VRSCR so much. But the highlight of the day was a ride on the Triumph Rocket (2300cc) What an awesome machine! Couldnt believe something so huge handled so well and so smooth. Asked the guy who rode it before me what he thought as we swapped over...."I'm going in to buy one now" was his reply. And he did. Lucky b*stard!

    Hey that's not fair sels1. I thought they rolled the Rocket out for real 'shoppers' only.
    Bugger it, I should have hung around longer. So if you were buying between the VRod and Rocket sels1, which one? Rocket looks like a big handful compared to how easy you could move the VRod about

    For me, the Rocket. Despite its size, (wouldnt want to park it on a hill) it was really nice to ride.

    Stuff the Harley and the Trumpie - I test rode the REAL rocket - the K5 Gixxer.

    Fark me - that thing is ballistic. Brain overload material.

    I found my answer from another thread about what is 'stupidly fast'.

    The Repsol better be good.........

    I'm pleasantly surprised there were no complaints made to the shop about some fuckwit on a blue K5 that day.

    Don't worry - they're still being compiled, collated, and cross-referenced. They'll be submitted in due course.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    No complaints, but I had a couple of calls going something like "There's some gibbering idiot on a K5 gixxer out there. He's afraid to get it off the pilot jet."
