I am almost too embarrased to tell you what i found out, but i will. I had checked the tire pressure in both tires before our ride and had 54 in the rear and 34 in the front. The next day after the trip and posting my problem i rechecked the tires and found that the back was o.k. But the front had leaked through the valve stem and only had 18lbs of air in it. I put 34 lbs back in it after tightening the inner valve stem core and it handle perfect. Talk about feeling "stupid". Thanks for all your input and i won't be forgetting this again!

FWIW: 34lbs in the front is too low, 42 front and rear seems to work the best, tire wear will also be extended.
So you think the Rocket is Heavy?? what have you been riding? it actully weighs the same as most Harleys, Valkyries, and other big Cruisers. But the weight is much lower than on a Harley, so it handles much better.

Hanso, I'm sure she is concerned about me every time I ride, but I think this time she was referring to the air that leaks out of me.
