I assume it would be something similar, but he didn't talk about it at all.

They seem heavy and needlessly complicated.

Had a crush (?) on the Rocket3



never owned or rode though

had a coupl'a Honda 750's amongst others, my dad had a few Triumphs, never got a Vinnie

I rode one of these around 1971/72.





Not legally, but I rode it.

I do wonder what bike I would get if I did - a superbike like a yamaha r6, a cafe racer type like the ducati scrambler, or a harley cruiser.

Lost track over the years but try a low powered first, Seat height, weight may be a killer.yes might be. Had a tank slapper on either M1 or M6 can't remember which, took up a lane. From the mirrors cars were going back, thought a gonner for sure, they say accelerate out, no way .. takes awhile to slow, heart works ott ... good fun

I gave up bikes decades ago, after riding for many years. Too old, too slow, too many friends who'd gotten hurt...

Nope. But I do think the Sportster has a nice classic look too.
