Welcome from....
...let's see...where the hell am I?...Oh yeah...Mulberry, Arkansas!...Just went down through Montana this last summer...definitely will go back...loved it...well, all but the bears trying to eat me in my sleep!
Got a red and black Tourer with extra wax so it will go faster...(yeah like that's what this bike needs!)

G'day and welcome from Australia. Fortunately I never have to put my baby away for winter. It gets cold here but nothing like what some other have to cope with.

cold is no problem - ice, salt and snow covered roads are valid reasons to hibernate a rocket.

Thanks everyone. I look forward to picking your brains.
Well, Bob, I've been lurking around here for a long time. Came close to buying a Rocket before, just couldn't swing it. I'm pretty frugal these days. I think the one I got was a serious steal. Can't wait for Spring! As for my purported riding skills, this is a whole other beast than my Americas. Can't quite toss it around like I'm used to, but I'll adjust.
Planning on Prescott and Nelson next year at least. Probably adding southern California to the former and maybe Edmonton to the latter.

Welcome. I lived in Great Falls as a boy, always wanted to come back. Nice riding country.

In the next few years I'd love to do an Iron Butt lap of the state in 24 hours. The western half is much more scenic, IMHO.
EDIT: Speaking of Great Falls, every once in a while I ride up there on a Saturday with my friends who ride Harleys. Naturally they have to stop at the Harley stealership (I call it, "dock with the mothership") where ever we go. Can't wait to take the Rocket there.
