The first one was the one I wrote about in the post: Rocket 3R, Six weeks in. It was a great bike. It's gone now.
My second one was the one that I owned yesterday. It was quite a different bike to the old one. That's because I followed Bloodnut's advice on suspension. Quite the transformation...
Ok, I get it: We buy toys, own them for a while and sell them again. I used to do that with the bikes I owned: Bought a shiny new ride, rode it for a year or two and then sold it again. Because a new, more shiny toy came along. The Rocket, I thought, is a different thing altogether. Certainly...
I got home late this afternoon from picking up my 2016 Ural Gear Up Sahara sidecar rig (2200 kms, could be on the showroom floor) . It was a 1300 km drive there and back (using a UHaul auto transport trailer - worked really well) and is SOOOO ugly I’m in love with it already and can’t wait to...
My friend just bought the first GT Rocket in our area. Neither of us are real big on the clothing looks for looks. That said, I would like to get him a t-shirt or sweatshirt for the new bike. His is a black GT. I bought a good quality T-shirt with a 2.3L engine printed on it from a fellow...
I got a kick out of the comments on this video and who buys a bike without test riding it first. Hopefully there are characters like this in my area so I can cash in on the discount...:D;)

If anyone has access to...
Anyone ever enter your bike in a bike show? I know around my small town I think I have the only Rocket in town and being a unique, seldom seen bike that maybe it would be fun to enter in bike shows. Why the hell not....
I always dreamed of having a Rocket 3, but they are very rare here in North Dakota. I found the perfect one for sale just 1 state over and had to have it!
I've had it now for a little over 4 months now and put on 8700 miles, I can't stop riding it! This is my 5th bike I've owned and easily my...
Bought my first rocket (a 2005) as my welcome back home gift from Iraq in early 2007. A sweet silver ride. Cruised on is between trips to SW Asia (contractor for Gen Dynamics). Came back in 2012.
Fell in love and got married (again) Oct 2014. My bride decided she liked the east coast better...
