The day finally arrived...
I'm back in NC Saturday night. Sunday finds me waiting for the dealership to open at noon. So, here's the deal. I've been waiting 25 years to buy a bike. I did not respect the last bike I had, so I got rid of it before I killed myself. I'm of a much different mindset at age 47. The bottom line is that I haven't been on a bike in 25 years.
I bought this bike without ever seeing one, let alone sitting on one. My first impression of the Rocket is, "Holy sh!t. That's a big f-ing bike". It was a little daunting. As my paperwork was being finished my wife and I purchased helmets, jackets, boots and gloves. Rang a big bell, everyone in the dealership applauded, took a picture and they brought the bike outside. It's time to go. With all eyes watching, including my wifes, I get on the bike with all my shiny new gear, start that imposing pig up and ride off like a boss!
I rode around for 15 minutes or so and reaquainted myself with riding and then the wife followed me home. That was the best 80 miles I've ever had. I made it home just as the thunderstorm hit. It was a perfect day. I just wanted to share my experience with you guys.
