    Engine oil and filter

    I've always used Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40, but this time I went for Super Tech Full Synthetic 10W-40 from Walmart cuz they were out of the Mobil 1. The amount of miles I put on and the style of riding I do I suspect it doesn't matter which brand of oil I use.

    Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

    By all appearances, it looks like the other site has bitten the dust?

    Pre 2010 rockets

    I paid $8000 US for my 2005 in 2010, with 2,700 miles, but but I've never had a single issue, except that the trip odometer doesn't work. Currently 30,000 miles on the bike, and I hang my head in shame at the lack of miles over 11 years.

    Visiting Brisbane etc in June-July

    I imagine I'm like most here- riding is about the best focused activity I do- entirely perfect for an ADD addled brain; it truly is therapeutic. The family we're visiting lives in Arana Hills, northwest of the city a little bit. It looks like an hour and a half from there to to Canungra.

    2.5L Rocket Stroker Engine Kit with 6 Speed Transmission (R&D)

    The Nobel would be nice, but Locklear would make for an extremely high maintenance relationship.

    New R3s

    Looks like it's got less rake. I like that a lot.

    Visiting Brisbane etc in June-July

    I catch the flight out of Boston on the 20th, lose a day in the air and arrive in Brisbane at 7:30 AM on the 22nd. Whohoo! We're immediately jumping off to Cairns for a week, then will spend about a week in Noosa and vicinity, mostly on the water I think. We have almost nothing in concrete...

    New R3s

    So- what's the deal with the new Rocket? Are they all going to have the 2.5 litre engine with six speed tranny and single sided swingarm? What's the story about the special deluxe custom? Limited production and special golden dollars to purchase these? Not having paid much attention, I'm...

    2020 production Rocket 3 spotted

    Could that be mostly in the old style fender overhang?

    Anyone missing their horse?

    It made me nostalgic for my horses. I'd ride that saddle, no worries, for hours without issue. Firm seat beats a cushiony seat!

    Anyone missing their horse?

    Is that the latest iteration of Skip's ride?

    Visiting Brisbane etc in June-July

    Mike, I think you've done a lot more traveling than I, so I am also a wee bit envious. Having the benefit of family living in Australia, we found an unbelievable price round-tripping from Boston. Hope you're doing well.

    Visiting Brisbane etc in June-July

    That would be outstanding!

    Visiting Brisbane etc in June-July

    Mittzy, sir, you would not believe how outstanding that would be! Not only to meet a fellow Rocketeer down under, but to do any bit of riding while there! I've only met a couple Rocket owners here in the States, and no R3 members as of yet. Even if you don't have a second bike, could you...
