10 more inches arms and wheelies

[Bertrand Saugnac]

So today was my first real ride, 5 hours on the beast ! Just love her every day more.
But two phenomenom occured during the ride.
First, acceleration is so brutal, I have the weard feeling my arms are 10 inches longer than when I left. Is it normal, doc ?
Second, I rode with my old pal with his Sportster 1200. Just to give him a taste of what a real bike is, I lend him my R3R just for a few kilometers. So I rode the HD. It's kind of hard to describe what happened. It flet like I was riding a girlie bicycle, you know, the one with a pink basket in front and a small bell to proudly announce you can drive by yourself, with the wheelies still.
So, still fond of this incredible machine.
From Paris with Love.

It took a while of having a Rocket before I developed small bike syndrome for everything else. I think a lot of it is the expansive tank.

Compared to the Rocket everything else is small syndrome.
Well, there is the Boss Hoss which you require leg spread exercise to straddle that tank!
