New to Forum 2014 Roadster owner

[cardinal93]

Welcome from Mississippi! There's been lots of new members on here lately looking to buy a rocket so maybe we'll end up with two happy new members! That is a lot of bikes you've owned. I'm jealous, wish I could've even ridden half that number!

A big Aussie welcome.

I would argue that someone on here might well be interested in a brand new, extremely low mileage R3. I know I would be if I had the cash saved up. A matte Roadster is what I really wanted, and I know there are a number of members with lots of miles, and once you experience the Rocket, nothing else satisfies...

Which leads to my question Charles; Why did you buy a new R3, ride it 1900 miles, and decide to sell it? What don't you like about it? Uncomfortable? Unpredictable? Unharley?

Had a few Rocket Owners join just to advertise a bike or parts for sale. Agree it's a obvious place to advertise a Rocket for sale but some would think that joining a forum just to sell a bike , it's a bit ... well there's more than one in every group .. here anyway Charles

That's why I pulled my ad on here which offered my bike to R3 owners first and did not intend to offend anyone. My bike is like new with some extras and I would have given someone a steal on it but if I do sell it, it won't be offered on this forum anymore. And I would have taken $9500 for it. Just thought that I'd give R3 owners first dibs.

I have owned several bikes and love all kinds of bikes, particularly muscle bikes and Harleys. I always have at least two bikes but I must admit, the Rocket puts a smile on my face every time I twist the throttle. Thanks for welcoming me to the forum.

Actually I'd say trying to sell a Rocket to a bunch of guys (and gals) who already own one doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'd be putting it up where there are people who own Americas or mid sized rice burner cruisers and might be tempted to move up. I just sold mine and while I let a couple of mates know, I only made a passing mention of it on here. Just sayin'.

That's good advice, thanks, not for sale on here anymore.

Thanks for welcoming me, the Dragon was fun but would have been more enjoyable minus the wife and luggage, lol.
