Almost there, paid deposit on my first cruiser

[DrChris]

Well, g'day from Newcastle, OZ.
Well after the moaning in my ear about discomfort on the zed from my missus, I promised to look at cruisers. No way could I do a Harley like our pals riding with us, it's just not me! So I embarked on owning what seems like the only proper muscle on the market, the rocket. I run three cars so newish is not an option, so found an awesome 2008 example which I get at the weekend and I'm sure will give me riding pleasure in spades as well as fulfill my desire to constantly swing the spanners as a hobby. Ergo my first Rocket III! I'm stoked and can't wait to interact with you all and learn the ropes on this legend of a bike.

Hello @DrChris and welcome from Virginia. You kept the Zed right? I mean the Rocket is going to dominate your ride time especially if the misses doesn't like the other, but a man should always have a t least two machines...

Haha, I know you're right but one at a time is all I can love at the moment. I'll miss the Z900, it was my first bike back after a 16 year gab after my daughter was born. TBH I'm looking forward to a less frantic ride (in the twisties at least )

Don't sell the machine short int he twisties Doc. Different than the Zed for sure, but a different level frantic to be sure...
