hi folks
Can anyone help me out here I would like to hire a Rocket because luck has it that I will be able to get in a 3 day tour round San Francisco area end of Sept whilst visiting from the UK on business. I have tried searching the Web but no luck yet.

Works out that I have a couple of Options
Start and finish in San Francisco, looping south.
Or, ride from Los Angeles to San Francisco,

Both are mouth watering prospects !

Earlier this year I did SanFran north on a Harley round Wine country and Highway 1 - the experience blew my mind. Started solo, ended up riding with a bunch of others after someone overheard my accent asking for a cup of tea at a rest stop.
(Only problem was doing the ride on a Harley !!)

Cheers
Richard

Your best bet for a Rocket might be one of the exotic *car* rental agencies (it will be expensive!!!) Some of them carry a few bikes too that are rentable due to being unusual, and the Rocket would qualify there I think. The easiest bikes to find for rent in the US are Harleys, and only Sportsters can be had at anything like a sane price --because they don't think you'll go very far on it.

Okay. I will rent you mine for 1500 a day, with a guarentea of 10 days, in advance. Post a date and we will work the details.

Dude,

I'm gonna be vacationing in San Fran the last week of September, and I'm renting a BMW 1200GS from Dubbleju Rentals. They have a Bonneville America to rent, but no Rockets...

I love my Rocket, but always wanted to ride the big Beemer, so here goes...

Maybe we'll meet up for tea!
