You meet the nicest people on a Rocket.

Three gentlemen from Kansas City came down to my neck of the woods to visit today. From left to right; Pig9R, Pianoman, and Toystoretom. We ate BBQ @ Kehde's in Sedalia Missouri and had lots of laughs. Pianoman is particularly funny or should i say peculiarly funny(inside joke). We talked about Rockets, internet, and Tuneboy. I brought a 3x5 index card with questions for Tomo and Pig9R. We talked about what we did for a living which was quite interesting. Sure was a sight to see four Rockets parked in a row. I hope we can meet again soon cuz I had such a good time with these great guys.






The bikes from left to right; Pig9R's, Hondax's, Toystoretom's, and Pianoman's. Coincidentally we are standing in the same order. Very informative to compare ones accessories, add-on, and the like. I got lots of idea's to ponder.
For you train buffs, behind our mugs is an original dining car used on the MKT railroad(Katy RR). Kehde's BBQ uses it for restaurant seating. The place is loaded with train memorabilia.....very interesting...toot....toot...

It was a near perfect day for riding Rockets with little bug activity given the cool night's we've had lately.

Rocket Summit

Good ride, good food, good people and good times. And not just a recreational trip but turned out to also be educational. Just a sampling of the many things I learned:

What every Triumph and Rivco accessory looks installed. (Between the four bikes pretty much every piece was viewable)

I found out Hondax' true calling was to be a talk show host. His pre-ride; pre-prepared note card of questions was just the first indicator.

Approximately 2 pounds of burnt ends will easily fit into one beetle bag.

Chicken poo can dry pretty fast under the right conditions.

And yes it was windy. I made it down and back on one tank, 148 miles. Figured my mileage 32 mpg. Add the 7% speedo correcto back and it goes to 34 mpg. Still pretty bad considering 98% highway and I was easy on the throttle the whole tank.

Nice pictures and report guys. I swear it seems like all of the Rocket owners live in the Kansas City area or Australia

Agree wholeheartedly. And I can relate to the episode of the HD ants' nest acting is if you had been about to trample it

Take care
