IF so IM me and let me know your thoughts.

I currently own a Harley Heritage Softtail and LOVE it, but just saw the Rocket in a showroom and will be scheduling a test ride next week.

Just looking for some feedback on it. I'll also be surveying the biking forums.

Guns and motorcycles.....how do we combine the two sports?????

Why would it be dangerous?

Uhhh, I don't know, a vehicle with fuel inside of a house, could be a bit of a hazard?

Bikers are not concerned with such nonsense. If danger were a factor in directing our behavior we would not be riding motorcycles. Besides the house probably belongs to someone else like a girlfriend or landlord.

Yeah, it's a shithole...don't remind me. I can only remodel so much at a time. I shut off the fuel in any event. I don't think it's terribly dangerous. As someone else stated, however, motorcyclists don't always shy away from risk. Fuck it, if the house is gonna go, it's gonna go. It's insured.

I still wanna drive a Rocket III, chu bastich

eta: hell, I got a chainsaw with fuel mix in the basement too... fuck it, you only go around once..

I put it outside, I hope you're happy!

I was just wondering about if it was dangerous. I think it looks like a nice house!
