Default Hello from Central NY

Hey all,

Been lurking for a couple weeks, and finally bit the bullet to join when I saw a classified ad I had to reply to, hehe..

Anyways, I just picked up a Rocker C with 1400 miles. It's my first bike, and I'm LOVING this new addiction!! I wish I could say I loved the bike, though- to me it looks great, but it's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever spent time on. 15 minutes and it feels like my left leg is gonna fall off from the hip down because of that friggin seat!! I have a Danny Gray on the way; if it doesn't help I'm trading the damn thing in on a Deluxe. Any other Rocker owners in central NY in the meantime?

Catch y'all soon, and thanks for a great forum.
Jared

Thanks for the hellos!

I was just at the Harley dealer. I had my girl sitting on some Sportsters, and I checked out the new Slim again. Boy that's a slick scoot... too bad I was turned off by the red color one I originally checked out; the bike in base black looks nice. Oh well, more choices for if my seat doesn't work out!!

Central = Syracuse/Rome/Utica.

Westchester is my favorite... such a beautiful area. Whereabouts are you? I love visiting every chance I get, and plan to soon. My girl has never journeyed downstate before, so I hope to take her down in early/mid September. I'm thinking 1.5 days wandering NYC, 1.5 days in Westchester, and a little time with my brother in the Northern Jersey area.
