Welcome from Christchurch New Zealand.

Also a proud owner of an 06.

Can't believe that you learnt to ride on one of these beast's.

Wow! Great deal on the bike - love the color.

I sure as heck wouldn't want to learn to ride on a Rocket - kudos for the diligent and methodical approach!

I learned friction zone control and trail braking at slow speeds pretty well from it.

You need to send some pictures of the sissy bar. Since the stocks are no longer in production I see people looking dailey for something that will work. Especially if they don't have to pay international shipping. Welcome and and good luck!
