They say the perfect woman is 4' tall with a flat head and no teeth, sounds like Tulsa's getting close...

You forgot the flat head for an ashtray and owned a liquor store.

I met a friend for breakfast and he rode up on his new bike. I immediately thought of Sonny and one of these as a replacement for his Rocket. It's simple, reliable and gets great fuel economy. What else could Sonny need for commuting?

If you drop the J you really have something.

Of a flat head so you can set your drink. I believe it was Chich or Chong who originally pointed that out.

The owners name should be 'Hugh'...just saying like..

i know how sonny fells i just hate it when i have to struggle with problems.
and the main reason is when u have to guess at what the problem is. i know that i have offered up guesses. but guessing at electrical problems is hard and i have tried to get some of you to use an volt meter,
so to try to put this in prospective if u do not use a volt meter on electrical problems is like using a table spoon to dig yourself a ditch for a sewer hook up.
if u can not use a volt meter find a mechanic who can. it doesn't have to be a triumph dealer it can be a good mechanic like deecosse.
sometimes u just have have to walk away when the machine is messing with you.
i have rode my friends victory and i must say when the front fairing is attached to the frame you do not get beat up by the wind from the trucks which surprised me however the power sucked.
like in a thread if it has wheels or tits it going to give u trouble.
good luck with your decision

Funny how there's no predicting which threads take off, this could eventually rival Threadkiller and MV 2019 threads

I'd like to know if Sonny's tired of getting notifications over replies on his thread

I can't imagine anyone would leave that feature turned on, but who knows.

Well you know what. Don't care. The Rocket served me well. Good bike and enjoyed it. Placed 56,000 miles on it in four years. I kind of look at the comments and just smile. Its all water under the bridge. i ride period. When folks make comments about this and that it is cool. I have done my best to help others out when they have suffered issues on their bikes that i have experienced and have stayed up all night to help them even after working a 12 hour shift knowing full well was not going to get any sleep before the next shift. Sometimes i may get a bit drunk and make some off the wall comments. So what. Nature of the beast. If i wanted to be the pillar of the community i would have a pickup with a Harley sticker. Yes i enjoy very much working on my bike but when it becomes more work than riding it is time to start looking at reality and realize you have just about rode the wheels off. Would i offer the Rocket X no. 74 to a fellow Rocket rider on here for a reachable price. NO. The bike is worn out. The electrical side of the house is shot. Some of the issues i have found while trouble shooting is unbelievable. Yes to some folks it may be hard to believe but i do ride in the rain. A daily ride of 100 miles plus in Oklahoma everyday 360 days a year your going to hit a bet of weather. Do i want to ride on a few days off in the rain during a run? Not. Do i ride the twisty slow yes but believe that make me less of a experienced biker not. Been riding since i was seventeen. Only bought one car in my life for myself. The fiat. It has 70,000 after being bought new in 2013. Even for you all with your pure thoughts of yourself's you getting a theme here. The Yamaha venture may not be the fastest or even add up to Harley's at curb appeal. If i want curb appeal i'll ride the 125 S&S Fatboy. Not really into all that. Do have to say hats off to Warp Nine. He was a lot of help and to the folks across the pond in New Zealand and Australia. One of these days will take a real vacation and come visit you all. But can say to some of you all. KISS MY ASS
