Default Rocker mods/first ride while home on leave.

Well I am home on leave, made some simple mods. WOW! online pictures does the Rocker no justice and when I hit the throttle I almost **** myself. Had the seat redone by Trasherseats and added a side mount tag setup(thanks Dawghamilton). My best friend removed and mailed the rear fender all the way to me in Italy so one of my shipmates could work on it. More mods to come, this is my first bike and I am loving it.

Man first rides are always the greatest. My irst rides after both Iraq tours and a Korea tour were unforgettable. Each time it was the same, I hopped on my scoot, and next thing I know I was 0-60 in like 4 seconds. amazing. The knot in your stomach disapears and you remember what ts like to be free again! Ride safe brother and thanks for your service.
