Things I really like about my Rocket

[Jeff Cameron]

I just came back from a nice 300 km ride this afternoon and during the ride I was thinking about how happy I am with my Rocket. I thought I would list a few things -
1) It rarely matters what gear you are in...it just pulls.
2) When I upshift there is a solid mechanical feel as it slips into the next gear.....Never had that in all the other bikes I have owned over the years.
3) Today I stopped for a coffee at the mid point in my ride....4 HD riders pull in and look at my bike for a long time. Several other non riders walk up to my bike and stare at it, some even talk the HD riders about it...priceless!
4) The solid feel of the bike....Mine is well put together and feels high quality.
5) I never see another Rocket when out riding...not that I would mind but with some other bikes you either pass one every time you ride or you pass a clone/similar model.....Nothing else looks like the Rocket.

The power, man. You forgot to praise the power of the thing.

We trudge on.

TORQUE man TORQUE. Its addicting. Veemax your comment nobody wants one, Dealer network man. And of the dealers that are out there, there isn't any in this state anyway that are worth a ****. There are guys on here that know more about the Rocket then most of the dealers in the entire country. Al

True on both counts,
the dealer network sucks,
and the Torque is addicting...

yes big al, that is a factor for sure but not all of it. most of the dealers arent worth a ****. agreed. the nearest one to me is the one in ft collins, and one of these days i will tell you an interesting story about how the service manager there tried to **** me, if you want to hear it. he ended up looking kike a jackass for 2 reasons, because for one, he is a jackass, and the other reason is i did some research, before he tried to **** me, and i do mean financially. concerning buying a rear drive unit, and a drive shaft. scott
