  1. What's the point?

    Something in the sound Some truth to something in the sound, especially us old-school guys who had Bonnevilles with drilled-out mufflers. To each his own; I never judge what floats your boat. If you love how a Rocket sounds, that's great. But when I first heard a Rocket, I was very...
