Hello.
I'm new to this site. I've currently got a deposit down on a new Thunderbird 1600, a bike I like very much. However, before making the deposit I was considering Rocket III, but was convinced not to pull the trigger on it because of what I read on the Web regarding heat issues, especially on the Touring. I live in South Florida and 1/2 the year ride in temps which exceed 90 degrees F, sometimes for months at a time. If the bike is really the "heat pump" many people say it is, that would be intolerable.
What is the experience here with the Rocket and heat issues?
