I love my Rocket, but sometimes I think that some Rocket owners are a tad too loyal.

Just put some knobbies on that bitsh and you’re good to go!”

Normally if somebody just said "Suggest some good long-distance touring bikes please..." a Rocket is certainly not the first thing that would come to mind. I'd suggest a K1200LT if they want the ultimate slabgobbler on 2 wheels, or one of the Harley baggers if they want traditional character at a more relaxed cruising pace.
BUT this guy obviously WANTS a Rocket or he wouldn't be trying to talk himself into it as a touring bike. IF a Rocket is what you want it can be made into a tourer, that's all we're saying. He's got to decide for himself how much he wants a Rocket over the extra amenities to be had with factory turnkey dressers.
