    This is why I love motorcycling

    Organised a long weekend away this weekend with a mate on his Speed Triple..I've done 70km on my bike since December 2014 so was looking forward to it. Left yesterday afternoon for the run from Bermagui down to Mallacoota, bike ran like a clock, "this is great" thought I. This morning between...

    Cactus final drive drive shaft

    I had my rear tyre changed yesterday and told them (after reading here) that I wanted the drive shaft pulled out and greased. Looks like I'm the only one who ever owned this bike who asked for that...my drive shaft is cactus. Heaps of metal shavings and rust. The mechanic couldn't get the...

    12 volt outlet stupid question

    My stupid question of the day is about my 12 volt outlet. It's smaller than a standard cigarette lighter plug...I want to buy a charger for my iPhone that fits it. Nobody seems to have ever heard of a 12 volt outlet that littler than a cigarette lighter. Any idea where I can get such a thing...

    More thanks to Hanso

    Its a common thread here, but its worth repeating - thanks to Hanso who at his own inconvenience and suggestion sorted out my headlight relay today, and taught me a whole lot about the Rocket while he was at it. We're very fortunate to have a guy with Hanso's knowledge and willingness to help...

    Sold my Harley

    I've been trying to sell my 2000 Roadking since I bought the Rocket in July last year. Finally sold it last weekend. The guy that bought it drove 11 hours to pick it up, and then road it straight home through non stop rain for 11 hours to get home, dodging emus, wombats, kangaroos and god...

    Little furry thing with a death wish

    Riding to work yesterday at 6am a bloody stupid wallaby jumped right in front of me...I had time to hit the brakes on the damp road...back end went left, I went right. Hung onto it but I had a moment to contemplate my sins of the last 49 years! Closest I've ever gone to dropping the thing...

    Dropped the Rocket

    Trying to park the bloody thing in my shed I managed to get the rear on some sloping wet grass...ZERO traction there guys.... Fortunately my brother in law helped me pick it up and didn't laugh. Only damaged pride. By god they're heavy when horizontal!

    8 " taller windscreen on a Standard

    Hi I'm thinking about getting a taller windscreen on my 04 standard. Cee Bailer makes one that is 8" taller than the standard which I think would be the right height for me. (I'm 6' 4"). Anybody had any experience with putting such a big screen on? Or Cee Bailey's? I vaguely remember some...

    Back on the bike

    After six weeks with no riding, I'm back in town and heading off on the Rocket on Sunday up to Canberra (3.5 hours) then after a few days back via Bombala. Anybody who lives down here will know how good it is to get on these roads after a long winter! Let me at it! Six weeks stuck on...

    Hi from Italy

    Good to see all you Hervey Bay travellers made it back in more or less one piece (Hanso). I've followed your progress from over here, and looking forward to Nabiac next Easter. We've been to Tokyo, Paris, Scotland and now in Italy. I've established that outside Australia there is only one...

    Do I HAVE to have a trailer for my Rocket?

    Only had my 2004 for a couple of weeks, spent yesterday afternoon in the main street of Cooma (felt like minus 20 but I'm sure it wasn't) with the alarm going off refusing to disarm. To make it worse, all my Harley mates had ridden up from the coast to meet me and check out the new bike, then...
