I was just stripping all the farkles from my bike for the deep cleaning before Winter and as I started to reinstall everything, I got to this point and said STOP! This thing looks too awesome! I know you guys have the same bike and like yours by mine blows yours away. Just thought you should know.

Nice looking bike let me guess 2009 model. Where you from.

 

[moklodge]

You're right on. It's a 2009. I'm in Connecticut and other than one or two Rockets I've seen since I picked her up in Sept. 2009, she's pretty rare around here. By the way, I'm a wiseass so no offense meant in my boasting.

No offense taken we have a lot of smart arses on here by the way what is that thing on your rear fender

Maybe he meant freckles?..........

Hey Moklodge did Chris make that belly pan for you?

 

[moklodge]

Farkles are those gadgets and accessories that people tend to overdo and add to their bikes making them look like Goldwings or R1200GSs. I think I have every single one made. It's a problem I have but I ain't sorry. I love this stuff and this bike. I switch it around and change up the look from time to time. I change bikes every 3 years as a rule but I haven't been able to let this thing go. It's still a thrill, especially this year as I've grown to love the high rpm range. I actually run her at 4000rpm to 4500rpm. The power and sound are addictive up there.

As for the bellypan, yes that's a chris creation. It really complements and finishes off the front end of the bike.

The back end also needed something to offset the marshmallow seat the Classic came with. The single seat would've been a better looking choice but I use the rear rack for a sissybar bag when I overnight so it comes in very handy. Thanks for noticing Scot

that's one beautiful Rocket you got there. So how do I get one of those belly pans?

Farkles -- good one. Yup, you do have a very nicely done Rocket.
And yes the rides are never boring. I could not want for more really.
And all OUR bikes are special to us so do understand your feelings..
I'm from Maine and only seen another once. Wondered about trying to have a ride organized in the NE sometime if there is interest.
Enjoy!
