Well aftre threee years of the Rockster I signed a deal last Friday for a new RT -- March production with delivery in April. Last summer, after two weeks two-up, my better half said that perhaps a more comfortable bike was in order. I've enjoyed the Rockster, but it's time to move on. I'll be retiri...
