Fancied Rockets since they came out. I ran the first two in the country in- way back when. This would be the seventh one I have ridden. It actually fits me the best ergonomically of any motorcycle.

I love to see a man passionate about his ride and I don't care what the ride is. Nice work dude!! Have fun. TC.

You certainly looked at home and a good fit on it on Sunday...kinda of like how I feel on a 125 commuter bike.There are not many people the Rocket is built for,but you seem to be one of them.

Cheers

Cheers all,

I've got a bit of onboard uploaded. It's on the blog.

Just uploading a classics festival report currently and then I'll add a bit more - Rode it out there on Sunday as Motu mentioned.

That Honda Rune works pretty well for me too. But you wouldn't talk to me again.

Saw you on it at the Classics. Love them especially in BLACK. But FFS get some pipes on it - sounds like it's solar powered

Maybe when I finish my shift on it. Don't know the plan yet.
I don't mind the standard note actually. OK when spooled up.
Plus I live in high density and am a night owl.

The amps demo had aftermarket pipes on it and I didn't think it was a pleasant sound at all.
Maybe the genuine pipes are more civilised - will enquire.
