    Greetings from Hong Kong - and a question about Melbourne

    I continue to be inspired by the great font of knowledge that exists on this forum and the helpfulness of those who share it. Thanks to everyone and apologies for not being able to contribute in a meaningful way. I am riding a 2012 standard Rocket 3 Roadster and loving it of course. Neither...

    R3 Roadster purchase

    I bought my Rocket 3 Roadster just a couple of months ago without having even sat on one. My philosophy was simple - at the age of 65 this is only going to get more difficult so get on with it which is what I did. It's a marvellous machine and I am delighted.
