    04 Rocket Thermo fan switches on/off more than any bike I have ever owned.

    Flushed the cooling system today .Filled it with new coolant and bleed it correctly and it is fine now. The old coolant which was originally red I think but was brown and dirty looking when I dumbed it. The fan comes on much less now and when it does it's on for a much shorter duration.

    Hi Waiting for my new R3GT to arrive.

    Does not arrive until May! I had no interest in another bike until I saw the demo bike at the dealers and once I sat on it ….it was all over. Have not been this excited about a bike since I was kid.

    Hi Waiting for my new R3GT to arrive.

    Have a weird bunch of bikes in my garage but I like what I like and have no real brand loyalty. Looking forward to buying new rear tires regularly for my R3GT.
