I am in a turmoil and need therapy

[duropart]

Hi all , its been a while since I last posted anything but I have a problem. For the past few years I have been in a position to renew my bikes every 18 months or so and now I am thinking of another new machine, problem is I never buy the same bike twice. This is causing me to have nightmares because the rocket touring is by far the most powerful bike I have had in the cruiser/touring range . **** ! It seems I have just answered my own question , power is everything. Oh well its now either a new paint job or another bike . Decisions decisions.

I suggest that you add some "go faster" and paint your beast.

I wish I had that kind of trauma

Poor fellow. Chin up, you'll find some way to work through this.

If you need therapy, get off the computer and get on the bike!

I'm really struggling having sympathy for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not get a different type of bike to go with it, instead of replace it. Why not try a sport tourer, or maybe something like an adventure bike.. maybe a BMW GS? True they are not more powerful, but they have different abilities and places they can ride. A GS is a cool bike if you want to try riding on some dirt!

That's my plan eventually. I would love to get a new Tiger Explorer XC and take some trips that I would not dare on the Rocket.

Spend some money on a super charger or turbo lol, it'll be like a whole new bike afterwards!

Or.....would you class the tourer as the same as the roadster? You could get a new roadster instead?

I know you, kaivalagi......buy a new bike (Ducati, MV Agusta) something faster than a Rocket. This way, you will still maintain a hugely fast cruiser yet have something "different" for your mood swings. (lol)
