Default Demo, Bones an Rocker

Had some fun today got out on XBones man this was different rode good not sure if I like the seat lots of meat on the ground back tire bits well needs louder pipes and some getting use to

Then the Rocker now this felt right bars,seat,pegs, for a big tire went around curves great was impressed needs some mods to get little more snap. Very nice ride from the start.

Rode these with a buddy took them out same time ran them hard it was a good day every one should test ride these

Isnt it odd how a stocker motor feels and sounds when you come off a non-stock bike?

Hated the seat on the bones I rode. Up too high. Felt like bursting out in a Viva Las Vegas song and waving at imaginary fans or something.

Aint ridden a Rocker yet....Dealer wont stop calling and offering rides on every bike on the floor...May hafta to go get me some time and Rocker and see whazzup

My guess is that a Rocker rides well.

I'm wanting my current bike to be a classic 25 year old scoot with lots of memories and lots of miles.

I have 21 more years to go!!

It took some time, but I love the Rocker C. I was just at a local dealer yesterday sitting on one. So comfortable ! I had to leave or I would have probably traded my W.G., and I just bought it last year, and no.... it's not paid for, so I would have took a hit on a trade in, and that aint gonna happen.
