R3 vs. Harley

I had wanted a Harley for 20 years years. When I finally found the time and money I reviewed all the specs and prices and narrowed down my choice to between a Rocket, the Fat Boy and Kaw-2000. I went to test drive the Rocket III first in May of 2006 and knew three seconds of letting out the clutch this is going to be the one. I made a deal and have never regretted it for a second!

I am a Mechanical Engineer and take care of high rise office buildings in many major sities. The Rocket III is one of the finest engineered machines they could have come up with. I hope they will someday come up with a nicely designed dash with a real oil pressure, oil temperature gauge and an acurate fuel gage. I've added the fuel gauge and it shows empty far too soon and the oil dip stick is OK but it might be better with a sensor factory mounted in the bottom end. Other than that I recommend this bike to anyone!
