I've owned this thing since Aug. '04, & outside of the clutch "blowing-up" on it's maiden voyage home, I have had NO problems ! Since taking it out of winter "storage" a few days ago (as previously mentioned elsewhere) I've ridden it 3 of the last 4 days and the rides just keep getting better! This is one of the 1st runs of the Rocket. I've read of other's problems and can only sympathise. I've had NO problems! Not even the rust some have complained about! It runs better this year than last! Maybe they all need to be put to sleep for a few months a year? I do nothing to it but polish it & ride it. Oh, the "noises" come and they go, but it continues to "perform" as awesome as the day I got it ! I LOVE this bike ! EVERYONE should have one ! :hammer:

too bad you had to store it during the winter. . .I enjoyed riding the Rocket all year. . .though not in temps below freezing and/or ice. . .

yup, she's an amazing machine!

ride on

Mine is out of the first run Rockets as well. I picked it up as a "demo" this New Year's weekend with 123 miles on it. I have close to 4500 miles on it now and have had no problems either!

It's kind of like my TBS. The more miles I put on it, the better it ran! When I sold it, it had 36,000 miles on it and I swear it performed better than new...

There is nothing like the Rocket! I may buy other bikes. However, there will ALWAYS be a Rocket in the garage
