    I've owned some noisy bikes but.....

    Don't understand what kind of fairy story your dealer is telling you. Every piece of advice above, especially not even starting it again, are right! Ride it again, Risk it!

    Possible future Rocket Captain -- Looking at '15 R3T

Haven't had the opportunity to get to an empty car park to practice those U-turns yet. Last bike was about half the weight of the Rocket. Big, hot...

    Hi from Germany

    Hi everyone, my names Robert, am English but live and work in Germany. Took delivery of a Rocket Touring 2008 about three months ago and have just found your forum. My bike is in super condition for the year. Have started doing small stuff to improve it optically, still haven't found a solution...
