My bikes

[Jimbeem]

Hey all,
Well obviously I have a Rocket III Roadster that I love though only had it a couple weeks now. I love that new bike smell. I also have an 84 Honda V-65 Magna and a 2005 Yamaha WR450. The Magna is just going to sit and rot with the Triumph in the garage so I think it is time to sell. Anyway, going to see what OEM electronic cruise control is going to run me as throttle locks give me the willies. Chat with you all soon!

Welcome to the forum Jim.
You may want to keep one of the small-uns. A little fun on a week night.
I kept the Bonny, and it is fun to ride around the block.

How many weeks now, before it getts too cold to venture out on two wheels?

Great riding.
Cheers. Eric.

Welcome Jim ...I love my Rocket , but I love my Speed Triple for the commute into the city for work. Rocket ain't really a nifty little commuter

Welcome indeed! I also recently purchased a new 2012 R3R back at the end of June. I now have 5500 miles on it. If you enjoy your R3R half as much I have so far . . . An eternal smile, accompanied by a chubby, shall be yours!

You are now located at the BEST place to learn anything you need to know about your Rocket. Many knowledgeable and helpful blokes around these parts that go the extra mile to help out fellow Rocketeers.
Best Regards,

Another welcome. Pretty diverse collection you have there. The only problem with having 2 (or more) bikes is I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't want to arrive on the Rocket - unless I was bush bashing. Good to have you join us.

EchoRaven-per your request.....

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome. EchoRaven asked me to post a photo of my old Honda and it is in my album so please feel free to have a look. Enjoy!

I had an 83' V-65 Magna. Really nice bike. Not the best in the twisties but for straight line whoop-ass by the barrel, you couldn't beat it. They would stomp most of the ****** rockets from that era.
