whoowee!!

gentlemen, et al. i'm new to the site , live in western north carolina (tail of the dragon and all that), and am trading my 2002 yamaha warrior 1700 for a 2005 rocket 3 this fri. the first time i saw the beast, my heart stopped & i knew this was my machine - although i hope my wife can't tell the difference as she dosen't know yet! it will be a great christmas surprise! the weather here can be pretty mild in the winter & i ride as much as i can. i would like to know if anyone has suggestions on aftermarket accessories? regards, stevebeat

Just bought an 09 Phantom Black Rocket at the Calgary cycle show this January past. Picked it up this March 16th past during one of our Alberta 2 day warm spells. Waited 5 minutes and back to winter (bummer).

Cut my teeth on a 72 Bonneville for 7 years in Vancouver, way back when. Prior to this new bike rode a Yamaha V-STAR 1100 Classic for 8 years. No comparison to the Rocket. Have only logged 450 km's so am still in the break in phase. Waiting for the weather to behave and it will be off to the Rocky Mountains for some twisty's and let her loose.

Cheers!

From where?

Hope I haven't sabotaged my membership too quickly! I do tend to self destruct....

I'm from Maine, and have just become the proud owner of an '05 Rocket iii! OMG! Now I understand what all the grinning is about! This site is fantastic, looks to loaded with info and friendly advise.

I'm just getting into riding after many years without a bike. My last was a '69 Bonny that I stupidly sold in 1990 after I got married, moved north, and settled into raising the family etc, and never found time to ride anyway. I'm awfully pleased with my recent purchase and with this site! I'm gleaning it for info.... and am thinking about my first mods already.
