How long does it take to get to Akaroa?

Plus it stops that 'just a quick spin dear' getting out of hand .......

Can't think of any valid reasons either huh.

Ha ha - I was scratching for those two!

What about - so you know you have time left to get to the Lotto shop on Saturday evening.

I'll be interested to see your preference Dave to the Rocket and the new big bore twin Triumph is introducing as both fit a similar market.

Indeed.

I thought the Thunderbird could be my next bike till I have lived with the new rocket for a month.

Now I'm digging the big kahoona.

Agreed.

Great British Eye Candy.

BEARS friendly too.

I don't like fuel gauges or windscreens anyway. The trip meter is more accurate than a gauge on just about every bike I've tested.

Did they tell you you get luggage in the $5,000 worth of free extras currently offered on a Rocket III.

Links are on my blog

Just buy the Rocket III cruiser that has all the bells and whistles. Wonder what Triumph are offering extra wise with those babes.
