Hey thanks a bunch for the info guys. Especially you TX. I appreciate the detailed response. I didn't realize my post was as long as it was until after I posted it. Sorry about that.
All, I would love to test ride a Rocket, either an R or a T, but the dealer doesn't have either model. I'm still waiting to hear how long it would take them to get one if I bought the thing. Hence all the blind questions.
Mexican, I'm sure I'm not as tough as you but it's good to know one can rack up the miles on a stock Rocket.
And NickeHild, I wish I had read all the posts. I'm not that smart or capable.
I've looked at several of the photos you all have posted. That Rocket is a cool looking bike. I love the customization everyone has done. I've got to figure out a way to just sit on one and see if it fits me.
Thanks again all!
