well we were looking at this bike .but it was a year out or maybe even two.. because this is a $17.000 plus bike.  then I saw on the Canandaigua Motorsports site they had this bike at that time it was price $13.999.. so we went over to have a look and then up to bucks to see if they had anything ..infact bucks was sold out and the only thing they had was the new 2011 rockets coming in..so back to Canandaigua Motorsports .. bob came out and said were ready to deal on the bike.. said ok what is the final price..he goes if you buy it today ..$12.394 thats a $5000 drop in price ..this was just to good of a deal to turn down so thats how we now own a ROCKET III TOUER ED

Congrats, nice bike, Get a two bike trailer attached to it for the Tiger and America, you will have all three options where ever you go.  I'm just jealous.

I liked the tourer but it's a lot of bike. If I had someone riding with me more often I'd look at that over the Roadster. Of course, if I get any Rocket 3 I'm liable to have a passenger more often. It's a catch-22...

Wendy loves to ride too Ed. Glad she has her own but when I first got my SM she stayed on the back through driving rain with me from here in north east PA all the way to the northern end of Vermont in the driving rain and cold on our way to Laconia. She could have very easily jumped into the chase van my friend was driving with our gear.
