    As a site dealing with Big Bikes, we had to buy a Rocket III sooner or later... and last week our long term tester and project bike finally arrived...

    Over the next few weeks and months we'll be fitting accessories, writing features and ultimately a review on the world's biggest bike.

    We've posted a link to the first video on the Rocket part of this forum....

    In the meantime if anyone wants to send us their views and opinions on this enormous bike they can do so here or on our site.

    Just had a look at your site, very impressive.

    Especially your link to the crash analysis section.

    I urge all users to look at this it may just help you stay safer.

    If you do not see a need then you are the one who will be injured and you are the one who should undertake a Ridesafe or IAM course

    Re the Rocket, my arms are still two inches longer after my test ride of said monster machine three years ago, I remember the rapid acceleration, poor ride, vague cornering and instability below 20 mph, a Harley is a Roller by comparison so you guys have your work cut out with its handling.

    Good luck

    First suggestion

    As the rear tail and brake light are a bit small and feeble how about supplementing them.

    An LED strip on the top of the rear sissy bar and linked to the brake light will place the light at a higher level so that the d-ck h-ad motorist following behind admiring the bike is more prompted to actually brake himself
