Hope you enjoy.

That is awesome. The Rocket III has some really nice acceleration for such a heavy bike.

Cool videos!

I would hope so, the motor on it is bigger then in my car!

It sure is a big motor... but really it is pretty easy to manage. The Touring model was a DREAM to ride... I really am not kidding when I said the countersteering effort was about like my little China bike.

Thanks for watching the vids.. I am currently editing the Bonneville T100 ride, and the Tiger 1050 ride. They wont be up till at least next weekend.

Now, the Bonneville is a bike I would like to get my hands on... I got to test ride a couple of them, really nice bikes... If I didn't have my Kawasaki I would definitely have a Bonneville.. Or if I won the lottery I would have both that and my Kawi.. I just can't part with my bike... Maybe if my bike gets stolen, though I'd prefer it not come to that, especially since I'm not insured for theft... I'd probably only be able to afford another 200cc...

Sorry fellas.................

If I wanted a Harvey Dumbike I would buy a Harvey Dumbike, not a Triumph, a Honda, a Kawasicki, or a Yamahaha.

Each bike serves a basic purpose and suites a certain type of rider, I myself think cruisers are for old farts who cannot handle a sharp turn, I feel quads are for people with no balance, I feel UTV's are for people who can't handle either of the above :roll: But I try and keep that to myself.... 8O Ooooops :oops:

Back on topic people! :mrgreen:

My biggest fear, if I owned a bike with hard bags, and trunk, would be some kid coming up to me wanting to buy an ice cream!

What's a Harvey Dumbike?

Cruisers are fine at sharp corners.

You are right about each bike serving a purpose and suiting a rider, but I think the two previous comments show a lot of ignorance towards other riders. Ride what you want, but why do you need to bash others for what they ride? Can't we all just ride and get along?

What's the stereotype for scooters?

Just joking around Jim.

That's fine, I just don't see the need to disrespect an entire class of motorcycle...

I also don't really classify an atv, utv, and so on as a motorcycle... But that's just my opinion.

My fault really, I should have made it more clear I was ribbing folks instead of actually insulting them

My buddies and I tear into each other all the time some ride rockets, Others ride dirt, Some ride nothing so they get it the worst.

Ok I'm out so Ken can continue his thread.
