RE: Rocker Rear Suspension
Apostle, how bout running through all those production issues we keep hearing about. I still haven't read anything concrete about issues, other than the Dealers can't keep these bikes on the floor. Thanks.

Now this is not pointed at anyone.
I have riden lots of different bikes.
I have been given comments about the type of bike etc etc as the rocker gets now.
The only difference I can see is I didn't care.
It was the type of bike I choose to ride at that time.
I enjoyed it. who cares what other people thought.
If you have a Rocker be happy with it but don't preach to everyone else how great it is as I think at times U are just trying to convince your selves what a great bike they are and U made the right decision.
We are all different like our bikes.
This is what is importantant.
If I can't say I don't like Rockers or I don't like Baggers etc etc than we would be poorer for it.
Ride Free and enjoy the moment as it may end tomorrow.

RE: Rocker Rear Suspension
i would bet most of us here buy the bike we want. i personally looked at several that appealed to me. i only rode 2 softails, the rocker and nighttrain. i chose the rocker. i just sold my nightster, and am waiting delivery of my new rocker. the rocker was the one for me. i feel it is a good starting point for where i want my bike to end up. i want a chopper like bike without the chopper price tag. to each is own, most people buy what they like. so enjoy what you have, ride it, don't bash others. that is one of the beauties of this country; freedom of choice.

If someone wants to ride a different modelsoftail(or dyna, or touring bike) that looks like a million other softails (or dynas, or touring bikes) that is their choice. Yes the tins might be painted different, they might have certain parts chromed, or additional add ons. But they are still riding a softail (or dyna, or touring bike) that looks like a million other softails (or dynas, or touring bikes.)

I personally like all types of Harleys, but some I would buy and some I wouldn't. I can appreciate others bike without necessarly wanting to buy one. All that really matters is I fixed my bike [ a Custom ] the way I like it and wouldn't want to trade anyone for theirs. I believe that should be every bikers goal.

Drunk post, my bad... point is, CPTRAD is knocking every other bike that isn't a Rocker. What my post should've said was, ride what you want and post pictures of your mods, but don't bag on others... What came out was a day of beer and the very thing I was speaking against... So - ride what you want and post pictures of your mods, but don't bag on others.
