I rode the T-Bird.  It was OK.   Rocket3 strikes me as too big and heavy.  But the Guzzi California is where it's at !!!!

Explorer. That's what you want. An Explorer.

But do like the T-Bird, nice and retro, prefer it personally to the Rocket3.

I did a write up of the Guzzi California 1400  (right capacity you see!) on the old Org.
I just loved it.  Wouldn't replace the GSX but I could live happily with both....
