  1. First mod ...

    Added the Trik Custom mudguard - thanks for your support, Joe! Love the look and it should keep the wife's bum dry if we get caught in the rain! This bike gets so much attention - this week it got me the thumbs up from a London taxi driver, "... now that's what I call a proper bike!" and a...
  2. R3GT/R Windscreens - A Review of Three

Made the fatal error of taking a Rocket out for a test drive when my Bobber was in for a service a couple of weeks ago, after which the Bobber felt like jumping on...
