    Off to the Enemies Camp

    Should be fun. The HD dealership nearest us often throws some good parties with lots of nice bikes and some cuties as well. We have found that taking on HD's with the Beast is very, very low risk. Be safe. We trudge on.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

    Welded from tractor parts? How rude! OK, well, we kind of grant the chrome tumor thing... While we have never considered the Beast "pretty," we think it has a certain massive presence about it. We trudge on (ascetically).

    Tornado check in

    Damage to houses nearby, but it missed us. Thoughts and prayers to those effected. We trudge on.

    Saw a Rocket X today

    G'day stranger , where you been mate ? Hey, TC. We tune in from time to time. Just haven't posted much lately. The Rocket X inspired us to muse... Ride safe down there. We trudge on.

    Saw a Rocket X today

    It's a right handsome motor bike. It may not go better than any other RIII, but likely goes just as well, which is very well indeed. We trudge on.

    Things I really like about my Rocket

    The power, man. You forgot to praise the power of the thing. We trudge on.

    There's still nothing like the Rocket...

    Well said (er, posted), King. As we see it, the only problem with the Beast is that if you get tired or bored with it, there is nothing to "graduate" to. All others pale by comparison. We trudge on.

    Would you upgard to a Roadster?

    Welcome to the forum. We rode an '08 Standard for a time and now a '11 Roadster. Both bone stock. Performance wise, they are essentially the same bike. Unlike TriumpPhil, we prefer the ABS on the Roadster, but see that feature as the only real performance upgrade from the '08. If your '06...

    Matt black paint

    If you wipe too hard, the flat black will shine. Not in a good way. Beware... We trudge on.

    motor cycle reliability

    We've owned two Rockets and rate both 9. Both bought used w/low miles. The '08 Standard went a bit over 17K over 2 years before we crashed and needed only a battery and a bulb in one headlight over that time. The '11 Roadster has 22K so far (three years of ownership) and other than a spongy...

    New Here!

    Another welcome, busdriver, from another Texican. There is nothing like the Beast. Ride it safe. We trudge on.

    Hello, my name is Sean and I live in Houston, Texas

    Hopefully, Sean's OK. Shouldn't have been too high risk. The Beast is not hard to ride. If the rider behaves, the Beast will also. We trudge on.

    Rocket wanted

    A Vic is a nice ride. But it ain't no Beast. We trudge on.
