...I imported it into the UK myself. I had to go to the airport terminal to collect it. When I took it out of the crate the whole of the baggage handling dept came to a standstill. The instant crowd was only dispersed when a somewhat vexed manager told everyone to get back to work. But too late, the word had got out, someone had told the office staff upstairs about an amazin bike on the premises and I had another instant crowd.
It took me over two hours to get the bike loaded. I felt like a movie star for god's sake.
I'd bought the bike just on the strength of what I could learn from pics and articles ( no Runes to be seen in the UK). I'd studied pictures of the Rune from every angle but that still hadn't prepared me for just how glorious the Rune is in the flesh.
As fate would have it I also test drove a Rocket 3 that day. It's a great bike but in terms of quality the Rune is light years ahead. I had a deposit on an R3 but eventually deceided to go for a Rune. When I finally saw the Rune any doubts about my decision instantly dissappeared; the bike's just awesome!
