I will be joining the ranks as soon as I get my new to me Rocket shipped. I had a 2008 Kawasaki Nomad 1600 and sold it last week thinking I would go with a smaller bike. Yeah right.... I was looking for a used Thunderbird 1700 and came across a 2011 Rocket III Touring black with white stripe and couldn't resist. It was a great price and but I have to get it shipped from Texas to my home in Los Angeles. I used this site for my research and found a good group with loads of info for the Rocketeer. Thanks to you all.
My gripe with my old bike was lack of power and handling. It was a comfortable cruiser but out here in LA cruising 2up on the freeways at 70mph I just felt like a sitting duck. I'm assuming I can get out of the way on my new RIII!!! I admit I am a little scared of the new big beast but I hope to practice a bit and try not to run into any walls before I get my wife of 28 years on the back. I also hope to become a productive member here and maybe even find some riding partners along the way. I'll update with pictures as soon as I get it. The avatar is from the ebay pic.
BTY anyone with a shipper referral would be appreciated.
