    My number came up. I wrecked.

    UPDATE It's been just over a week since I went down and I'm still not sure how I walked away seemingly without a scratch. I've been getting headaches off and on, but they seem to be going away. With the shot I took it's no wonder. The bike seems to be structurally sound, but everything on...

    My number came up. I wrecked.

    Not insensitive at all. I've had the bike for about 3 month, so, yes, recently. I'm not certain as to the extent of the damage. I know the radiator is busted. I saw water pouring out of it. I'm not too sure about anything else. I haven't had a chance to look at it. I was taken to the...

    Subtle. I like it. What's the British equivalent of, "Murica!"? :)

    New Rocketeer.

    Looks like we have the same color bike. It's a beauty. Our trip took us from Sanford, FL to Clermont, FL. If you look it up on maps and choose "avoid highways" you'll get directions that take you a great little trip. Lot's of twist and turns. Lot's of hills (rare in Florida). Little to no...

    New Rocketeer.

    Hi everyone. Long time rider. New Rocketeer. I picked up a 2007 classic about a month ago. It's been great. It's my daily ride. I commute about 55 miles a day on it. Easy highway riding. This weekend took her out on an adventure with the old lady. Man o man, what a ride. We had our...
