    This area is a good base from which to ride from covering some areas that may not have been experienced by our members here.

    Eastern Rally July 2026

    I’ll be watching. I’d like to stay in the Appalachian chain in the southern half. Virginia has some great scenic bike riding. I am experienced in some areas. I’m with Trips, let’s not go to far north but see other areas above Maggie Valley. Following.👍

    Top speed issue

    I’ve seen the limited 147 mph on my TFC. There is not much use for that amount of speed on the road. It’s how fast you reach 100+ that counts for me.

    Shift Assist Training?

    I think this is correct. I just had a dead battery that I replaced and the shift assist still works.

    Road gas tank down to 1 mile left

    I’ve been down to zero once and the butt pucker factor was not pleasant. I won’t do that again. I did find there was a bout a half gallon left in the tank but that was to close for comfort.

    Shift Assist Training?

    This is the first I’ve heard of this. I only use the quick shift feature when I want to and rarely up through all the gears.

    Newbie wanting to purchase r3!

    Looks like a dead thread. The OP does not answer direct questions. Spam thread?

    Newbie wanting to purchase r3!

    Have you ridden any of the Rocket models? I don’t think this has ever been mentioned.

    Newbie wanting to purchase r3!

    I drive a 2020 TFC model with a few miles on it. I don’t recall, 15K ? Miles . Runs good and is very quick and fun, fun, to ride. It ain’t no Harley tourer or Softail as far as comfort ride but a great day bike. I think they are solid and would not be overly concerned about a few miles.

    Update on my dud of a rocket.

    I would remind my dealer of all the money I have spent with them and request in the strongest polite terms to make things %100.;)

    Update on my dud of a rocket.

    I do hear the pressure relief on my bike but it has never been anything but a little air sound. Now if my bike failed to make power after 4500 rpm I’d blow my own gasket and scream bloody murder till it was fixed.

    Yellow?

    I like the yellow Rockets.

    Braking during cornering

    My nearest off-road was because on to much acceleration and to late to brake. Ask Journeyman, he might have filled it. Always be ready to slow down, corner or not.

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    This one looked very sharp on the showroom floor. Looks quick.

    Do I need to install the Quick-Shifter on my R3GT?

    I have felt this way for years especially about these new automatic trans motorcycles and CVT bikes BUT the quickshifter on the Rocket is a fun gadget on wide open up the gears runs.;)
