Hello from central Texas.

Be careful. If you get a Rocket you may come to find out that the Harley's are not all that great of a bike after-all. Bought a Rocket X in late part of Sept. now Feb. and have only rode the 2010 Fatboy three times. The Rocket is amazing.

Great forum you have here. Have been gleaning some good info. I am considering adding a RIII to my garage. I currently have a 11 HD Road King with a 106 build and a 09 Cross Bones Springer that I have been making my own since new.
I did have a 12 Concours in there as well but sold it. Have probably had ??40-50?? motorcycles in my life.
Have ridden all 48 and some of Canada on HOG tours plus the getting there and coming back legs. Shortest was appx 5000+ miles and longest was over 9000 miles. So now you kinda know motorcycle me. Also am a patched member of a MC. (not a 1% group though, just a like minded group of riders).

I am considering a Rocket III, have found a few examples that are under 8000 miles that interest me. What should my main concerns be between an 08 and a 2013 model? About 3000.00 diff in price. Have read on hear a few comments like "issues addressed after 2010" so was wondering if I should stay away from pre 10 models. Not going with touring model as I prefer to just add windshield and racks, soft bags as needed. Thanks very much for any wisdom offered..

P.

I believe al is correct if he is addressing only Roadsters. If you are age challenged like a lot of us here, you might want to investigate a Classic or Touring model as the foot positioning is more relaxed.

Where in central TX? I am in Denton.

All bikes are good, I have nothing against any make, tho I do have a problem with some "riders" like the vids you see now of the idiots taking over traffic.
Closest to the RIII I have had were a couple VMax's in the 80's. No Triumph yet and I am itching to get one.

So where you at? I lived in D-FW and also up in Wise County for a bit back in the late 70s?

Edit- never mind, saw your post.
