Title: Saw Rocket III on the road today
Post by: Desolation Angel on May 18, 2006, 10:29:44 AM

I've never seen a Rocket III off the showroom floor before.  I'm doing 80 MPH on the freeway this morning and this really sweet growl comes up from behind me in the right lane.  It's a bike and it's huge!  Took me a minute to figure out what it was.

It had the smoothest, most civilized sound I've heard in a long time.  Impressive without being obnoxious at all.

Listening impression...sweet!

i get to listen to that music every time i go to the garage!! the rocket is a sweat bike. a bit big but still a great looking bike. the speed triple is a bit smaller but still puts out a nice growl
