    Poll... when will you retire from riding?

    Well, it's finally happened. I have had to give up riding entirely now, due to the pain in my hip ........ but I will get that one last ride one day (not too soon I hope) in a Rocket III Hearse.

    Headstock Bearings (Wandering)

    Must be the time it's spent standing I can only assume it is due to the amount of time I hadn't been riding it this year - we did less than 200 miles on it this year mostly due to illness and rain. I guess this means that if you are not going to ride it for a prolonged period, put the bike...

    She's gone ...

    Metal Guru, Well done, you picked up a good'un there - I hope you love her as much as we did. She was cosseted in a carpeted garage, and never ridden in the wet. Very sad day when we had to part. But I'll NEVER forget the grin on my face when I occasionally opened her up, nor the back-breaking...

    She's gone ...

    I'm afraid that my age has caught up with me, and the Rocket had to go - it became too painful to get my feet up on the boards due to a back complaint. A very sad day indeed. I do have some parts that I no longer need, both of which are too heavy to post ..... A standard seat. A...

    Mileage and the R3T

    I have managed to do just over 44 MPG (imperial gallons), but I didn't get this bike to get good consumption! :D I get less wind buffeting on the rocket than my faired Suzuki Bandit, and at 6ft 4ins I'm hardly short. I always knew there was a good reason for not having a huge screen spoiling...

    HI Guys

    Cure for aching arms There is a cure for the aching arms you experience when you start riding the Rocket ......... 1. Get the lady of your life on the back to hold you in place. 2. Get a touring seat with backrest. I use both options ! Hang on and have fun riding the Gorilla! :D
