Default Cool New HD Model

The 2008 Softtail Rocker and Rocker Custom are two fine looking bikes. Hasd anyone seen them at your local dealershp?

That rocker makes me gag, especially when you see the pic of it with the 2 up seat. Simply not my gig at all. As for the two tone copper, it sounded good until I saw it, and nowI don't think it looks as good as I thought the color would have. I don't know, maybe i'mjust be a grumpy old ***** today. lol

Personally I think someone would have to be off their rocker (so to speak) to buy one. If i wanted that look, I'd buy an Ironhorse, Big Dog, or have someone build me one. HD should have stayed out of the "custom-look" market.

I think it looks like an Ironhorse or other similar make also. I'f that's your bag, go for it. I won't be getting one.
