I have owned a few Brit bikes, I am now working on a Brit car, I can say from real know how, If you plan on doing your own work, as far as maintenance goes, get a brain transplant. The commercial is no lie, They go their own way.

I love the Rockett! I used to sit on one everyday at BMW till they closed and I sold it.It was just over 700 lbs and I had no problem getting it off the kick stand it had an excellent center of gravity.

What I do today is very important because

Not my style of bike, but it was a funny video on how the bike is built
