2020 Rocket 3 Roadster ride...Tal

[Grumpy Ole Codger]

...thanx...i think!...young man!??...i'll be 71 in july!...but i'm feeling bloody good!..
Steph has got me swinging a golf club again...i have just upgraded my golf clubs and have been smashing some drives at the range!!..my body feels better for it and is more flexible now i have twisted and bent and walked more.
I hear what our friend has said about him having cancer and that we dont know how long we will be around...its true isnt it?...we sometimes are too conservative and before we know it we are wondering why we were...
When i was riding that nice new bike...it was a moment in my life i will treasure...i dont think Brad new how much it gave me spiritually if thats not too corny... but i felt very privileged and lucky to be able to be doing it.
An asian guy and his wife nearly stepped off the footpath oogling at the bike as i slowly idled by...its a very special machine.
I am considering moving into a GT and mums on my side somewhat ...afterall i just spent 25k on her new car...so my bargaining power just went up.

Now that's a nice bit of bargaining power...so it's a case of watch this space then??

cant say........the brain might kick in when ive got my guard down!
A bit like when we were young and single...
I just walked up to her door knocked and went in...full of bravado...when it came to leaving, i was very cautious...looking around in case someone saw me leave!!
b4 the fact and after....if you get my drift.

Speaking of small I had to sit on a bobber while in the dealer and WOW I thought I was on one of those pocket bikes! Being on a Rocket for so long has really changed my perception of size. LOL

I know exactly what you mean. I rode a Mates 650 Vstar the other day whos on a learner licence and still restricted to a 650.

That felt like a toy and so light. Took a few corners to work out I didn't need muscle it to lean over like the Rocket. Kept scaping the floorboards from leaning over too quick and top fast

..hi James...hope all is ok down there with the fires and all..?

@Tal I knew once you got your leg over the new rocket and taken it for a ride you wouldn't be able to resist having to have one.

That's why I'm undersided if I ever want to ride it.

I just really like the look of the GT but yet to see one and although I have the $$$$$ in the bank I think I would buy one once I had riden it.

But can get a great family wagon for the same money.

I heard a day or two ago from Graeme that yours was at the shop!

Yep just waiting on finances to line up - will be soon
