About to own a Rocket 3 (2015 model)

[ROCK]

I am excited but a little concerned about the weight. I am a 6 foot 2 inch large bloke, but I am almost 59 years old. I have ridden motorcycles all my life (and been a motorcycle instructor), but it's been almost ten years since I had a bike. I love the style of the R3 but am I going to regret it?

Your balance will be your biggest prob.
i have the 07 and have dropped it many times (over 12 years)with no damage of coarse i have the crash bars. and 81 so you are still a young guy.

As long as you can get it upright off the side stand you'll have no problems.
