This was the day I bought it. Went to the movies and the wife came along.

It doesn't get newer than this!
If you scroll backwards you will see the bike being put together and finally me sitting on the final product. First Rocket in Canada and supposedly number 12 off the line.

Very cool. I had the first Roadster sold on Oahu, was shipped there by mistake instead of CA.
 
Both Beamers are gone now. The 1150 R/T was my wife's. She traded it on a 16 Speedmaster. It was a beauty but sadly is gone now as well. Last time I rode the hardtail springer I was on the way home from the Peoria TT. With out warning I felt a horrendous shudder and witnessed a lot of shiny stuff flying in all directions. She has shucked a rod which subsequently turned the motor to shrapnel from just under the cylinder all the way to the drain plug.

If they break, I prefer the glorious explosion version!
