Saw Rocket III on the road today
« 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!
