Thanks again to all the great comments and welcoming support I recieved when i joined about a month ago. At that time we still had snow on the ground here in Anchorage-but since then I have had my (new to me) 2010 Roadster out many times. I am the guy who had not ridden in over 30 years and some well placed "concern" was expressed about starting out on, what I know refer to as "The Beast." Well, once I got started I found i could not stop!! Riding this motorcycle is more fun than I have in a very long time and I wished I had done it earlier.
Contrary to some reports from the web, I find it handles quite easily in town and I enjoy riding around town as much as on the highway...but the highway-oh boy. That sensation of opening the throttle and going from 70 to 90mph in a blink of the eye is beyond description!
I love my Rocket III You can come and get my guns...but my Rocket-no way daddy. Now I need a real manual for it cause when i"m not riding it then I am drinking beer and staring at it-and I want to know everything about it!
I love the photos of the customized work folks have done on their R3's-I will have to explore the site to see if they are organized in one spot-and one last thing-I have yet to see another Rocket in Anchorage-plenty of V-twins everywhere-Any Rocket riders from Anchorage?
