Still one hell of nice looking Rocket, T. I'd love to give Boss Hoss a go but can't see it being anywhere near as practical as a Rocket for everyday use, which have to be the best of both worlds.

Thanks for the Kind words CBR3. I really like the look of yours as well. I sometimes think the fairing holds the bike back from reaching its top speed. But hey that's ok too.

Got to agree with Richard (but don't tell him he'll have a heart attack) your Rocket is Sweet I actually wanted a Classic in the red and white same as yours and The Kiwi (he has to watch his or his tank and mudguards may change colour (from red and white to just plain red) one day

D**N!!! you have a good wife!!

Yes I do! Oh.. I left out her '97 Honda Nighthawk 750 (another bike we regret selling) and her Triumph Trophy 1200, which I still have, and the '69 VW trike in my shop that is awaiting some wiring. She can't ride anymore, so the trike is going to my son.. and I need to get busy and sell the Trophy...

More likely it's the fact that it's not ALL red probably costs you some performance

Actually, I found that the Beetle Bags were the main culprit when I had them. The leg cutouts seemd to act like a parachute. I could tell a huge difference when I had them on or off my bike. I run Leatherlykes now and don't notice the drag anymore.

I'm only going to list my street legal bikes. I raced motocross starting at age 6 or so and I did that until I was around 15. Then, I raced road bikes. Thus, I had a lot of race bikes over that period. I doubt I could list them all if I tried. Lol
