Been Thinking About Another Bike

[Boog]

Sonny.....you gotta write down a couple of things m8.
1st page,,,,Rocket x....things you like about it on one side of the page and things you dont like about it beside that...two columns.
Then, do the same with other potential bikes....it will get it all out of your head and onto paper...you can see it all there in front of you. Its a good exercise to do.
Pics too. Its bloody difficult at the best of times trying to decide let alone when youre carrying pain and troubles.

I use a similar technique when I purchase a new vehicle. Back in the Fall of 2013, the Credit Union gave me a check for $25K to buy a new motorcycle. I went home and narrowed the list of bikes I wanted down to just ten. I wrote down the pros and cons of each and ranked them right then. Without riding any of the new bikes, the R3T fell out around #3. After six weeks of test riding and more analysis, I finally found an R3T to ride. It moved to the top of the list. Two days later, I brought it home and Christened it Brahma.

Listing pro and cons on paper is one way to look at it but experiencing the feel is what I go by for the final decision.

I can make you a sweet deal on mine, and save you a trip to Jersey too!

Am I sending Dan back to the Milwaukee area???

I didn’t say that, but I’m leaning toward another ride. I still love the bike, but I’d like a more touring/sport bike. Nobody’s made me an offer to buy it. I’d just like power and cruise control, bags that look like they belong there.....

If I ever had to change my Rocket, I bought one of these two.

New Rocket looks like streetfighter, not a real motorcycle...

Those two look like good alternatives. I'd throw a Moto Guzzi in there too.

One of the guys riding the R18 to Sturgis for BMW is 5'10" and says his shins were hitting the intake shrouds, so take that into consideration when day dreaming.
