I know exactly were Mineral Wells is. I was working at an Oklahoma State Univ laboratory back in 08-09 after Navy retirement and bought a VStrom DL1000 from an FAA guy in Oklahoma City. I rode it to my Air Force daughter's home in San Antonio in late June of 2009 and, man oh man, was it hot. I stopped in Mineral Wells for a break and thought it a lovely area, one in which I'd like to live. It was about 106 that day and I think I made it to Marble Falls before almost passing out with heat exhaustion. I saw a motel with a swimming pool and decided I WAS DONE. It was a memorable ride though.
Hello EM549 and welcome from a displaced Texan in Virginia. I grew up In Pampa, Gray County about 4.5 hours north by pick-up or 3.5 by Rocket.
Forgive my tardy response, how many miles have you racked up since you got her?

Hello Boog. I’ve traveled about 2K miles thus far. This weekend I traveled 900 miles round trip from my home West of Fort Worth to the Texas Hill Country where my friends and I rode the Three Twisted Sisters. The Rocket is one hell of a bike. It effortlessly ate through the twisty roads. If my friends riding Harleys let me take the lead I would have to stop so they could catch up.
Hello, I am excited to become a part of the Rocket 3 Owners community. My ride is a 2008 R3T. I took a 15 year hiatus from motorcycle riding and now I am getting back into the hobby. I have been stalking this page for a few weeks learning valuable information from the posts contained herein. I decided it was time to make it official and join your ranks. Thank you all for your willingness to share your knowledge and experiences with the world.
