I actually know a couple of rocket jockies that are totally normal, very cool people. One of them actually rides with a bunch of my other Harley rider friends, the other used to race professionally.

The majority of rocket riders I've met have a completely different personality than Harley riders. They're in a hurry, they're more high-strung. Most are "young" kids (young to me is now under 30...ugh) that still have that feeling of immortality. Some, but not a majority, would love to own a Harley when they "get old".
