Interesting "what's it like?" rider report 2021 Rocket R3

[estoma]

He's a poser. He has to sing the tunes that his 10,400 followers want to hear - if he wishes to keep them and win more of the same. He has chosen a demographic, and now he needs to stick with that for his weekly analytics to remain in the green and take him to a spot where YouTube will float him. Sad actually, like a comedian, who has to make people laugh whenever they see him. They expect it of him, even if he does not feel like laughing himself or has run out of material, forcing him to pick on someone or something he can ridicule. That is one side of the coin.

The other side is the motorcycle journalist who praises each bike he tests or does a shootout without a clear winner. Manufacturers fly him all over the world, put him up in the best hotels, feed him, spoil him, let him ride their latest products and then bathe him in memorabilia that you cannot buy anywhere. Should he not do them proud, they will not invite him next year or next time. Perhaps even never again. So what does he do? Simply what he tells himself he has to do.

The fake has spread much wider than just the news, courtesy of our connected world. We must simply condition ourselves not to allow sh1t to rent space in our heads.

Excellent point. Sounds like every politician everywhere doesn't it.

Yes. It does. And almost all “News” outlets. And anything that can possibly be monetized via the internet. I really don’t believe much of anything people say when their “opinion” has so much to do with their income. If you’re giving your opinion for money one is a fool who doesn’t question potential financial motives to push the needle one way or another.

For me however, I think it’s the sexiest thing on two wheels and I grin from ear to ear each time I ride it. That’s justification enough for me.

And that's all the justification one needs........

TALES OF THE ROCKET, MAN - PART ONE - Years of Writing Dangerously

Following the Biblical flooding of NSW, I was concerned about The Mother. There was talk of landslips. There was talk of alligators emerging from Darkey Creek to snap at passing trucks. The Social Medias were awash (pardon the pun) with angst-filled bed-wetters demanding information from their...

Boris is a pretty cool bloke and has written some books on motorcylcing, he is on facebook also.
Latest book is "The Wisdom of the Road Gods".
“Such is the puissance of the Rocket, that when small animals approach, they perish from its sheer awesomeness.” Too Funny

Def has that Hunter Thompson vibe. He enjoys “Whiskey, whiskey, and the way girls dance on tables.” I am going to look into his work. Quite liked his thoughts on The Beast. And agree.
