just a note had a bbq on the weekend...and took out the rocket to show it off and take a few of the family friends for a double around the block....ok, it was so close i almost dropped it twice....firstly doing a u turn on my sloping driveway doubling, i had to put my foot down and boy did i take some weight on my leg trying to hold it up....the next was trying to squeeze between a car parked on my drive way....it over balanced and almost side swiped the suv....the moral of the story.....no matter what respect the size of this thing and dont forget it ...even when your showing up :-D

I can tell you from experiance that after it leans over to a certain point I can't bring it back up. Of course, if you do something as stupid as stepping off your bike without putting the stand down I guess you deserve what you get! :razz: I had parked at my favorite Mexican rest. last friday, didn't like the way it was setting, put the stand back up, moved the bike about a foot and stepped off. It balanced for just a second then fell over towards me. I caught it as best I could, but couldn't stop it! My buddy jumped off his bike and helped me stand it back up. No harm done except to my pride.
