Very nice! I guess the accessories are available there already, they look very good, especially that light bar! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Very nice. Finally got to sit on one today. Not my hearts desire, but really very nice.

It grows on you Tom, especially after a ride.

I'm thinking harder about it. Still have not ridden the new T-Bird, yet, but when I do, I want to ride a Rocket III before and/or after. Not the Classic, or the Touring, but a straight-up Rocket III. If I'm going to upgrade, that may still be the "ultimate"... Nice new ride, mate!

It depends on what you're looking for. The Thunderbird looks way better than the Rocket III, but the Rocket III's power is intoxicating, even in stock trim. Note: I haven't ridden the T-bird yet, either, but I'm road-tripping to Spokane next Spring just as soon as the roads are clear and they get their demo(s) in.

I've ridden both, but only for a short distance. You're going to like the power the T-bird has.

There's no replacement for displacement. Congrats on the new ride.

Very nice!!!
Have you tried to lock up the ABS brakes? How does the brake lever feel when activated.

Breaks are awesome! Must confess dealer talked me into ABS - said it is the way forward and I would get my money back at the other end. ABS kicks in the wet and I ride all year so is a good thing (I hope)!
Only negative so far - pillion seat too small otherwise all good.

I'm just jealous of your new ride (although I did have a nice little jaunt at lunch on my old ride).

Well you can spell better than me and you got a nice ride in today and I didn't!
BTW Dealer told me that availability on some variants is now through to March 2010 (mine included).
