New bike! Hello from Alaska...

[Douglas]

My 2010 Rocket Roadster has been sitting in my garage for 2 weeks awaiting the time when the snow and ice is gone-this wknd is the time. I am determined to get on it this wknd and ride. I have stared at it for days, have never ridden it, and have not ridden since 1979-and I cant wait!!!!

 

[Mittzy]

WOW!!! you have not riden since 1979?????? And your heading out on a Rocket????
Friend all i can say is "Take it easy" - You hit any slippery stuff wilst under a good load - Well things could get interesting
Ride Safe Douglas. Post your first ride experiences for us - I for one would like to know how you went - I think you will be just fine

Another Aussie welcome. Be carefully mate these things break traction on a dry track.

Another Aussie .. Another Welcome .. not another warning but totally agree with what the others have said. Enjoy your first ride.

What they all said. Take it easy Douglas and let us know how you go.

Another hello from Australia. Alaska's a beautiful spot to enjoy the Rocket.
Safe travels.

Welcome from Minnesota
Your going to love the bike
But as others said be careful it's a fantastic handling bike
But it has ALOT of torque 0 to 30 mph only takes a second and as big as it looks it will bring the front wheel up with just a twist of the wrist
Enjoy

I had over 40 years of riding experience and about 15 bikes under my belt when I took on the Rocket III. I was perfectly comfortable and really in sync with the beast...



after about 3 months of saddle time!!!

Welcome, Captain Douglas. Happy trails and enjoy (carefully & responsibly) the ride! She ain't called The rocket fer' nuthin, ya' know!
