More Roadster questions

[warp9.9]

OK, Warpo!
I shall bow in homage to your steroidal monster.
HOWEVER - I was not bragging of my motor's prowess. I was attempting to give an inquiring mind (assuming Pocket Rocket has one) some perspective to his question regarding the R3T v. the R3R. I have ridden both and for my preferences much prefer the Roadster.

The much smaller, smart part of my brain is happy I live so far from New Jersey otherwise I would be helplessly forced into 240 horsies. No blower for me - I like having a 5th gear Besides, the twisties are way funner and 300 horse won't help me get around them any faster - only get TO them faster.

Paint you motor black, Warpo, and your 4th gear shall likely become usless!!!
:bch:

The motor is black but they same can be done with silver motors in Fact todd's 07 silver engined tribal red monster supports 240 hp Color means nothing its the inside that does. Kind of like beauty is only skin deap and your right the extra power does nothing in the twisties for a amature like me. but gtting to them and rolling out of them in sencond gear to 100 mph quickley I might add does make of for the twistie short comings? I am 700 miles for Jersey so I know what you mean which is why I chose the do the engine work myself? Not to fear if you coming to Magie valley as I will have the white one with only 165 Hp.Gracies babs and seats along withthe back rest are geating a make over also. i thinkit will go great withthe Whiat Diamond painted skins,

Of course Gracies Corbin bags are geting a make over and black I might add

I love the look of your seat, especially the brand tag, "ASS".

Best Regards,

This Maggie valley thing is the 8 th rockets across America
It's an excuse for us on the forum to meet up for a weekend or a week and ride around in the beautiful country of north Carolina
That and party after the rides and look at everyone's rides

You know a good ol time with fellow rocket nuts

rocket3jjd,
Thanks for the poop. I went to a Rocket gathering last summer in Packwood, WA shortly after I got my R3R. Great bunch o' fellows to be sure. I think most were from the "other" site; but, no problema - still great folk.

You have given me the what and where. How about the when?
Best Regards,
1olbull

 

[rocket3jjd]

I believe it the 17 18 19 of may
I should be there 13-21

Thanks for those RAA dates, Amigo. I was paging through the many, many pages of the RAA thread I found and was falling asleep reading so much.

May is just too early in the year for my old ass to head out cross country from the Seattle-Tacoma, WA area. I be heading out after fathers day week end (6/17) and likely hitting that MV area sometime the first week of July. Would be a hoot to meet up with some rebs. Ya listening, Nolton? I also would enjoy hooking up with those colorful OK boys when I gets to Enid.
