Interesting. I bought my 2012 new and repainted the Matte black ASAP. 😁Originally posted by atlsrt44 View PostHad the 18. Went thru divorce and sold it. Then bought the 16 in matte black like I wanted.
I found it hard to keep the matte new and clean looking. The Ford Tuxedo Black made me happy.

I'm sure 1olbull remembers this area. Outside of Auburn on Highway 49 headed south towards Placerville/ Coloma area. This is the Foresthill bridge Vin Diesel parachuted off of in the police chase scene in the Triple X movie. A stuntman did the jumping of course. I was lucky enough (on overtime) to be there when they filmed this part. The car he was in was just a shell with no engine but it was pretty cool. One take and that was it. As we important people in the film industry say, 'That's a wrap". about 20 miles south of this area is Coloma, Gold country where the gold rush started in that area. Old Hangtown (Placerville) is also a cool area around 30 plus miles south.

Agreed. I need both panniers and a full backpack just for a two night adventure. Also you can't tell from the photo but there is a very slight upslope on the shoulder area. On my 14 Rocket I would jump off the bike with no problem. It had a good lean angle. On my 2020 Rocket I had to lean it to the left and it was teetering on the kickstand. it's way to upright on level ground much less an incline. I was waiting for it to slide back down the hill or overturn. Yikes!

I was up in Grass Valley 3 weeks ago. It's getting a little crowded but still a beautiful ride.
