A friend gave these pics of a Rocket owned by his mate.Things I remember him saying were, cost=$100k ausd, 300+hp, Pride n joy, Kiwi owner, crane driver in Port Hedland. Wish I could remember more but I'd had a few Beers.

 
Wow, the first picture with the radiator missing freaked me out. That's an interesting exhaust too.
 
Rick pretty sure I've seen that Rocket before .. was it built in Brisbane ? Thought the guy that was having it built was a helicopter pilot ?
 
Saw it being built ..heap of custom billet one-offs and just about every-other-thing . I was told it was going to top out at nearly $100,000.
 
It is unique and I like a lot of the work that has gone into it and I bet it's a blast to ride but, but with similar price tags I like Ponters bike better and if I had the coin I would buy Ponters bike in a heart beat

I have to agree with you there mate . When i look at Ponters roadster i see a very nice machine with alot of thought gone into the design and paint. When i look at this contraption i think what a waste of 100K and a perfectly good Rocket. It looks like someone insinerated a turd and then painted the bastard.
