What will you notice..... besides the **** eating grin and the hours you will wast just looking at it and trying to figure out what you want to do to make it yours.... allot!

What should you be careful of .... besides beating your head against the wall and asking yourself what took you so long to make the switch.... nothing!

Congrats and enjoy the ride!

Greetings,

The Rocker is a very smooth riding bike and comfortable as well. You won't regret getting one at all! I still can't believe all the compliments I get on this bike that I never got with the Night Train or Softail Standard I owned in the past.

This bike comes off the showroom just begging you to make some mods to make it yours. You need to budget a few extra bucks but you won't regret it. This Harley will put a smile on your face that the Honda never could.

Welcome to the family.

It is nimble, maneuverable, eye-catching, fun, customizable, and comfortable (with a different seat). I love mine and have been riding motorcycles for over 40 years.

I really like mine. I'm sure you won't be disapointed. They are a very fun bike to customize and make your own.

Picked up The Rock today from STL... flew out, the transaction was phenomenal from mystic (forum member). He even picked me up at the airport. The bike was in better than mint condition, and riding it was beautiful. It's amazing that I didn't notice a difference in the control of the bike from a standard tire. I stopped three times on the way home for gas, and two times I received comments. In one of those instances, I received two comments, and on the third stop no one said anything but a guy that worked at the truck stop stepped out to look. My a$$ is sore as heck- I've got to get a seat soon. My new friend, Jason, who sold it to me, described the seat as "sitting on a 2x6." Perfect description. I'll do a couple of tweaks as I get the funds, but I have to say, this is one bad bike. Thank you for all of the responses- it assured me of the purchase. The beaut is sitting in my garage, and I can't help but take a peak every now and again. Can't wait to do some things to it- I want to try new pipes (with fuel mapping) and a new seat. Pulled the Imperial, MO to Columbus... I'm sure it'll hurt in the morning but it sure feels good right now!

Special thank you to Jason (if you read this) and his fiance. You guys were so accommodating and I am so grateful to have met you.
