  1. Dogs Riding

    Taking pooch along.......... I found it was easy to convince the other half that the Rocket was 'tooo good' for the four legged family members and we should buy a cheap 'clunker' for them. Worked for me........Regards

  2. Sidecar

    Touring with sidecar Evening all, been absent with health issues etc as well as 'dropping' a Vespa at a reasonable speed would you believe, catching up and came across 'Latvian's' post regarding the Touring and sidecar, not sure if I had posted pics of my unit, had the car on for 6 odd months...

  3. R3T and sidecar?

    Rocket and sidecar, steering dampner Thank you for the response Flip, I purchased an EZS Munro chair (two seater) that came as a full unit, i.e. auto wheels all round, leading link and steering dampner. The unit was attached by an exceptionally qualified motorcycle engineer and sidecar racer...

  4. R3T and sidecar?

    Evening all, is there another R3T owner with a chair fitted that I could discuss experiences with oil steering dampners? I have attached a double chair a month or so ago and am puzzled with problems encountered with the dampner and leading link forks. Regards Carey

  5. Fun ride

    Hello Mike, count me in, I'm a tad over 60 and commenced riding at 13 when you could buy a tarpaulin covered bike leaning up against a fence in someone's yard for $5 (the number of ES2 Nortons, B31's, Bantems and AJ's I have left abandoned in stormwater drains about my neighbourhood make me puke...

  6. Rocket Observations

    I have the 08 RT3 as well Daryl, on a run last Sunday with a large group of riders (most on sports bikes or HD's) had to open the 'big fella' up to catch up so to speak. Given there were a large number of bikes in front and obviously no gendarmes ahead it was absolutely brilliant two-up sitting...

  7. What kind of mileage could I expect?

    MPG claims Yep, when you are having fun who is looking at the pennies anyway? When it gets too expensive to run the Rocket Touring (why do they they use the verb and not the noun Tourer?) the family sedan goes first and then her Vespa scooter second...#*!" the arabs anyway! Regards

  8. Rocket Touring and sidecar?

    Rocket 3T and sidecar No sure if anyone understood the gyst of my post, is anyone aware of a Rocket 3 Tourer with a sidecar? Regards Carey

  9. would you buy it?

    Used or new? Hello, I had similar doubts here in Australia, my search was for a sidecar power plant and I initially looked at 'youthful' 2nd hand Rockets as opposed to purchasing a new model. I found in every case the seller indicated the size and power were the motivating factors in his sale...

  10. noisy gearbox R3?

    'clunk' Thank you for the responses, I was not overly concerned given the size of the power plant etc but a little reassurance goes a long way. Regards Carey

  11. noisy gearbox R3?

    Evening all, is it my mount or do all R3T have noisy 'clunky' gear changes in the lower 1-3? I have had it just on a month and have done 600kms only but have thought gear changes noiser than anything else I have ridden. Regards Carey

  12. Genuine 'top speed' shop standard R3T

    R3T top speed Thanks guys, interesting responses, my Rocket is the Touring model, 600kms only so really haven't done anything but idle down the freeway, thought I would ask about the top speed rather than give it a run in the early days. I guess that answers your question GPMAZ, I also have a...

  13. Genuine 'top speed' shop standard R3T

    :D Evening all Anyone able to give a 'realistic' top speed of a standard R3T? Was wondering what the clock reading would be should one wind it out on the freeway? Regards Carey J

  14. Rocket Touring and sidecar?

    "Found one" Evening all, have settled on an EZS Munro sidecar from Holland, no agents etc in Australia so intend importing myself. TRT3 black with black may change your mind Flip! Regards Carey

  15. Rocket Touring and sidecar?

    Rocket and chair Thanks for your thoughts, I am in Australia, and obviously limited in what is on offer sidecar wise so am looking to import, I have seen some nice units in the US but not sure if anyone there will make a left hand chair for me. I have seen some lovely models on Sidecar.com and...
