Story, well its all my wife's fault.
5 scooters in the barn one belongs to her, 05 1200C about as nice as they come. She drove her own for 7 yrs and got up one Sat morning and said "I'm done" I'll ride with ya but not around ya. So the search was on for a touring bike. Sold all but one and found a all but shot RK in West Monroe La.. This thing ain't seen a shelter sense it left the stealer. Got it home and in 12 hrs later it was to the frame. Took a couple of years but I got the one I wanted. Oh BTW, be gentle I'll be 66 the 30th

And the story: My previous employer offered me a job in Philadelphia that I could not pass up and after three years of living there with no bike I decided I could afford to buy one. I had my heart set on a VRod Muscle but when I went to the dealership it was gone. I happened to walk past a stock red Rocker and liked it but didn't care for the color. It was completely stock. I called Barb's HD in New Jersey because I saw another VRod Muscle in the color I liked and waited until the weekend to head over. When I got there it was gone. Damn! As I looked around, I spotted my Rocker and was instantly smitten. I walked over and it had a "Hold" sign on it. I asked the salesman if it was sold and he checked with his manager and said it was on hold but the man did not put any money on it. I asked him if he wanted to sell it like "right now". I bought it without even riding it. Very impulsive, I know, but I just had to have it. I love my Rocker and it is my main transportation since I don't own a car.

Some dude in a Harley vest didn't think I could ride in the dirt. I showed him that I can. I cut my teeth riding in dirt and hill climbing.
