Hey FriarJohn, I hope you Thoroughly enjoy the Rocket III. Since my post of the photo of my America and R3T, I have replaced the R3T with an '11 Thruxtron. I'll post pics some time soon.

For me, the R3T just wasn't getting the right amount of attention...I had thought that I was going to be doing more long distance riding (hence the touring version)....the reality is that I would rather take my car (BMW M Roadster) for distance ride/drive.

Having said that, the Rocket is a BLAST to ride...the power is intoxicating...I really think it could tow just about anything (including a small house).

Have fun on it....

Steven
