No bashing. Just opinions. Bashing is when someone says that the Rocker is a worthless piece of crap. Opinion is when someone says they don't like it and tells you why. Big difference.

that's bashing. And that wasn't the only "bash". Yes, there were a lot of "opinions", but a lot of bashing too.when I said bashing I was pointing at the few "bashers" in this thread. And I didn't say EVERYONE was. Nor did I single you out. You're posts were quite reasonable. So run through these posts before you try to come at me with some ****,newbie.

You know what I hope Harley never sells another Rocker. I think they need to stop production and just scrap the whole idea. Then my bike would be worth some big bucks.

I must say I love my C. It has been so nice to go to a Rally and not have to see a hundred other bikes that look almost like your own.

And I have gotten the question a few times "why did you buy a Rocker C" and to tell you the truth I was going to get a train and my wife said the Rocker looked more like me (I'm 24). So I said why not. If she would ride on that little seat and not bitch then lets sign the papers.I still love the Trains but man am I glad I got the Rocker C.

OH yea side note. If you see my bike in person don't bash it. It would not bother me but the little lady would problaby kick you n the *****. LOL

First off, "newbie"??? LOL! You are naive. I like how you judge someone by the number of posts they have at a forum. That's funny stuff right there.

Secondly, "It looks like the bastard child between a chopper and a jap wanna be harley" is still an opinion. There are a lot of opinions being thrown around this place...both good and bad. You better get a thicker skin if you want to hangaround here.

Jeez, you guys in the 300 post range are so sensitive. Hahahah!

Did you read my original post? Here's part of it again...
"The Rocker & Rocker C is butt ugly. It's a sad and late attempt to capture the "chopper" market from the so-called custom builders. The bike looks dated and designed for the "mid-life crisis / look at me" crowd. Did Harley pull Arlen Ness away from Victory for help on this one?"

Definitely a lot worse than what "MICHALISLARNACA" said, but again, it's just an opinion.

Lastly, read the title of this post. Clearly it's going to be a negative post so you gotta expect it.

Tell you what, start a positive one. That'll even things up and make the world all nicey-nicey.

TWolfe, LMAO, luv the attitude. I don't like the Rocker either. It looks sike something I could outrun with my sons 84 Honda Shadow.
TY, my friend. I'm NOT a "chrome junkie", so alla my $ goes to handling, brakes, and power!

Didja see the messed up fold out P pad on the Rocker C???

Whatta POS! Even the LITTLE chicks I know (100 lbs) would NOT ride on THAT! They LOVE my big ol' COUCH!

The Rockers are a FAILED cross between MY bike and a raked out chopper. WTF is HD THINKIN'???

At least the 'Bones would look good with some black pipes...

You wouldnt want me pulling up beside you with your girl. Trust me. Your bike wouldnt get a second look. They would all be gathered around my rocker C. And your girl would curl her nose up at you and your standard
Aww, I was gonna just back out peacefully from this thread, but y'all HAD ta go and raise my fur,
didn't ya?

My babe also adds "Nut-UH, lame-o!" Ya don't wanna hearwhat else she said. LMMFAO!

FIRST off, that is an FXSTC, NOT an FXST!!! DUH! 'Course, y'all woulda KNOWN that if ya bothered ta look at my sig lines. Or more properly, if y'all KNEW the distinction between the two models... , AGAIN!

Second, I think that if we were side by side, cruisin' Central Ave, OF COURSE the Rocker C is gonna get the
FIRST look! IMHO, I understand that, the Rockers are FUNKY-lookin'! People are INTRIGUED by new and
different lookin' stuff.

HOWEVER, "WE" would get the BIG second look.

When we smolder yer azz offa the line and leave ya likeyou were standing still. With my babe flippin'
y'all off, of course.

Trust me on this...

I think I'm done with this thread. Ride what ya like...

I just don't like how high the rear seat is above the fender...

...although if I never see another "custom" "one-of-a-kind" bike on the cover of a magazine that has "drag bars" on it swept back for some 5'2" accountant to ride it, I'll die a happy man! [8D]

I just f*n HATE the rear fender w/light on the vRod. It looks like a metric.

The license plate on the Rocker(C) also looks out of place... but, that's for the aftermarket to worry about.

I think I'll get one when I start putting highlights in my hair...

...don't hold your breath. [sm=dontgetit.gif]
