It Is With A Heavy Heart...

...that I sold my 2011 Roaster today, but I think she's found a good home. I'm down to just the 3R, but the Roadster and I go way back. I rebuilt the engine myself with @Neville Lush components and she is a true monster of a bike. I put 14,000 miles on her a year and proud to say that she never saw a shop in the five and a half years I've had her. Just a phenomenal bike.

Since getting the 3R she hasn't been ridden enough and I knew it was time to part with her. Sold to a soldier at Fort Campbell, KY who will, no doubt, be joining us soon.

Sorry, just need a shoulder to cry on right now....

The bike is a dream to ride, and very comfortable. I hope to get close to your numbers so the bike will feel at home.

Sad for one guy and happy for the other. I’m keeping both mine for now. They are different enough for me to justify having both.

I wish I retained the last 15 bikes I have owned. Always sad when they go.

Oh how we always kick ourselves in later years regretting selling one of our memories. At least they are usually fond memories.

I know the feeling, I sold my 15 Touring when I bought the 2020GT. Loved the old scoot but the new one does everything better. Both bikes combined I now have 100,000 miles on a Rocket.

Don't do it with women! Apparently they don't like it . They are not as understanding and forgiving as our bikes ;-)

Is that the thought that I will be approaching in the next 6 years? Talking to my Bikes?.....

I'll bet that GT does NOT tour near as well?
Those tiny bags just won't cut it for an extended trip.
