255 Horsepower R3

I like taking the Rocket to the Harley shop too. Only a few people there refuse to look at it (and we all know why that is) and I always get comments ranging from compliments to good natured digs - "finally decided to come in for a decent bike?", that sort of thing. Personally I have no need for great gobs of power but I'd dearly love to have it available once in a while. The absolute best part about owning a Rocket - apart from riding it - is the people I've met and got to know, especially a few characters on here and a couple more I only got to know at Hervey Bay. You're spot on, Anthony.

Don't forget when them old codgers corner you with their " i used to own a Tiger 110" stories .. very few of which are true i reckon .. make sure you ask'em if them or any of their geriatric mates still got any old bikes squirreled away. Must be at least one or two of them that did have bikes in the day, you never know.

The old Pommy bloke in the motorised buggy thingo that was at the RDU Bike Show used to ride a Thruxton and Manx Norton at The Isle of Man ... no old bikes under his house now ... bugger !!!
