Great to find this forum. Had my black flame rocket for a year now, covered 18000 miles in the first year! Such a great bike, just makes me smile everyday.
I just got back from a business trip to Toulouse (France). Usually fly but decided to take the bike. A long ride from Cheltenham (UK) via Calais to Toulouse, about 1100 miles. After a few days at Airbus (am an specialist engineer there), I headed for Montpellier on the south coast. From there to the Millau Viaduct, which is stunning and the highest bridge in the world, then onto Clermont-Ferrand in the mountains, past Paris, Calais and in the UK to Cheltenham. Must say great trip, nearly 2500 miles, maximum of 900 in one day. Bet you would struggle to do that on something other than a Rocket. Cruising at 100mph on the motorways was fantastic.
