Thanks John,
Got any more info on the manual ? eg. A version number or some kind of unique identifier, or where it can be bought? It's not the sort of thing Aussie dealers would have yet.

Most dealers are not going to have it in stock, but they should be able to get the current version from the importer. It's been in print for over a year. Part number 3851160, issue 1, is dated 09.2007 and covers all three versions of the Rocket.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am an old guy too! (just turned 61 today) I have learned to appreciate the quieter tones of my Rocket, especially if you ride it any distance (which I do!). Now that being said, sound is quite another story on my old Daytona T595 or the Daytona Super III I just acquired. A bit of a snarl is a good thing!

(I am old but still think I am 21!)

I'm with you. I was 60 last June I tell others "I may be old but I'm not slow". Maybe I'll use that as my signature since we can't use a photo.

I have a T-shirt that says " Old guys are fast... when they want to be". I quit roadracing at 58, not that I was the track terror, I did whip a number of youngsters on occasion!
