Rocinante is a stock 2006 Harley-Davidson 883. The only mods are the touring seat, backrest, storage rack, color matched side panels and the oil cap with the analog thermometer that my dad gave me. Like the original Rocinante, this one is grey, skinny, a little weathered and not so fast, but she has a huge heart. I bought her brand new at Boston H-D (big mistake) and for years she commuted with me to work and we went on weekend excursions. We have gone to NYC together – with a three inch construction screw imbedded in her rear tire without a single complaint.
