Thank you for setting me straight, Steve. I'll be sure to check with you from now on to find out whether my opinions are valid or not.

SERIOUSLY though, man, you need to stop taking it personally when people say anything about the Rocker that you don't like. If you like it, and you will be happy with yours, then great, I am happyfor you. If you think MY bike is ugly and "blah", that's fine with me. It will in no way detract from my enjoyment of it. Everyone here has their own likes and dislikes. If everyone shared the same opinion on everything then the world would be a very boring place.

your mama must not have taught you manners or if you cant say something nice keep your f%@#ing mouth shut. Cant you express your opions in a nicer less sarcastic way. People would have much more respect for you and your opinion.

There are a few parts that I think look good, but as a whole they are not for me.

cool down man. everyone has their own opinions. i think the rocker's are bad ***, i got one and am just waiting for the big bore kit to be installed. and truthfully the rocker is the only reason why im buying a HD, the rest to me look dull(off the showroom floor). but eventhough a lot here are knocking the rocker's it's not swaying me at all, i think the rockers are to much a departure for the traditionalists. to each his own...
now there are some fixed-up NT and deuces that i have seen here on this forum that just make me keep on drooling

I see the finer points ofgrammar, punctuation and spelling still continue to elude you.

I dont think that you are nearly as challenged as you act. No one else seems to have trouble reading my posts. I can understand somebody,no matter how proper their grammer,punctuation,or spelling is. We Tennesseans do seem to have alot of common sense. And Matt, we do know how to vote!

If you like it, and you will be happy with yours, then great, I am happyfor you. If you think MY bike is ugly and "blah", that's fine with me. It will in no way detract from my enjoyment of it.

Well said. You need to chill Steve no one here is attacking you or your ride. We all ride HD's here and that's all that matters. Opinions are what makes the world go round man, if we all like the same thing's life would be horrible. I'm eagerly awaiting you and the others who got a Rocker C to start customizing because although I don't like it too much off the shelf I think once you guys start to mod it that will be a sweet *** bike.
