Hi everyone. Found this site the other day and really like reading about everyone and their Rockets.
My friend has a Rocket and has let me ride it from time to time over the last 5 years and I said one day I will own one of these bikes. So late last summer that became a reality. I purchased a 2007 Rocket III Classic tour. I love my Rocket, awesome motorcycle.
I recently bought and installed a set of Daves shorty exhaust and also bought but haven't yet installed a Ramair air box eliminator kit. That will be soon.
Anybody else from the Chicago area?
Have a great day.
I was stationed at the Navy base in Great Lakes for a couple years. Lived up there mostly but had an apartment on the north side in Ravenswood for a year. Now that I've lived with wide open spaces for a few years I don't know that I could do big city life again, but I loved it at the time!
Bought my R3 right before I moved away. Wish I had it sooner, you've got some great riding around there!
Welcome to the site! I'm pretty new here myself but am from the Chicago area, NW burbs. Picked up a '14 Roadster three weeks ago, and after the first real twist of the throttle I've been unable to get the grin off my face. Bike needed tires real bad so I couldn't get the full experience until I got them on, and now I think my arms are longer from hanging on.
Enjoy your Rocket!
