The new Rocker on TV
« on: January 29, 2008, 12:37:51 PM »

SPEED Channel (www.speedtv.com), the nation's first and foremost cable-based network dedicated specifically to motor sports, will air a 30-minute segment on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) focusing on the intricacies of Harley-Davidson's Rocker and Rocker C models.

A group of seasoned riders, including Willie G. Davidson, Senior Vice President and Chief Styling Officer and Bill Davidson, Vice President of Core Customer Marketing meet at Bartels' Harley-Davidson in Marina Del Ray, California, and begin a ride which takes them from the Pacific Coast Highway, moving through the hills of Malibu, and finishing off on the infamous streets of Hollywood. Along the ride they meet up with Carey Hart, freestyle motocross rider, co-owner of Hart & Huntington Tattoo Co. (H&H) and avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast. Carey takes the Rocker for a test ride and gives his impressions.

Additional airing times (all EST) are as follows:

Tues., Jan 29 at 8:30 p.m.
Sat., Feb 2 at 11 a.m.
Tues., Feb 5 at 8:30 p.m.
Tues., Feb 5 at 12:30 a.m.
Wed., Feb 6 at 8:30 a.m.
Thur., Feb 21 at 3 a.m.

The Rocker models are in full production and Liberty H-D is scheduled to receive four between now and June.  For more information on the Rocker and the Rocker C, call us at Liberty or go to harley-davidson.com.

Good show :2vrolijk_21: Fender looks strong ;) Only problem they should of stuck 110" in it. ;D  I have had rocker c on order for 6 mo in blue. But after seeing the first black one last week I will change my mind to the plain rocker in blue as always.

Perhaps I can help here....Picked her up last Saturday.  Logged a hundred miles on her on Sunday.  Lots of mods to do, but a great starting point.





One at the showroom before I took delivery...



Also, check out the dealer's website...http://www.redriverharley-davidson.com/  Handsome looking devil taking delivery :coolblue:

So far, so good.  It takes a few miles to get used to the 240 rear tire and the longer forks.  This is the lightest of all of the Harleys that I have owned, and it peforms very well.  The ride is a little more rigid than my old Heritage, but feels much more nimble. 

The bars fit me perfect, as I was a little worried about the two piece design. 

The seat is pretty hard, and it contains the "convertible biacth" seat that hides away underneath.  I would like to actually get a seat that would sit a little lower to reduce the gap between the back of the seat and the rear fender.  Probably won't ever use the foldaway seat unless some rich old lady wants a ride. :D

I plan to move the inspection plate, add a set of V&H big radius pipes once they "officially" fit them to the bike  (they are still working on them as we speak per the tech line) and chrome her up a bit (hand controls, new mirrors, cables, etc).  This is the first bone stock Harley I have ever had, as they are still developing most of the accessories.
