    Hi all.

    I'm from Northamptonshire, living on a narrowboat moored on the River Nene.
    I ride a Rocket 3 Classic, but am looking to change to a Thunderbird 1600 fairly soon.
    Also, I ran a 1200 Tiger Explorer for a couple of years, which i thought was an amazing bike.
    Really enjoyed it.

    Take care all and keep riding......

    Steve :grinning:

    Hi and welcome. Do you store the bikes on the boat or do you have a lockup?

    Hi, The Rocket3 is just too heavy for me now mate. Manoeuvres in confines spaces getting to be a trial! Great bike, fantastic engine! Too heavy for me unfortunately. :sweat:

    Fair enough Steve , I have joint problems and have thought about a smaller bike but nothing else grabs me like the Rocket .
