Default Pink V-Rod at my local dealer

Went in today to talk to some more people and to see what used bikes had come in and there in the middle was a pink V-Rod.

Of course I'm curious. On the tank is the Koman Ribbon and the something like "Riding For The Cure."

Turns out it is a local customer who bought it and painted it himself. The employee says that there was talk at one point that he was going to raffle it off with the money to cancer research.

Now the V-Rod isn't my choice of bike, but I would still buy a ticket (if that does happen) and most likely put back up for raffle to help raise more money. After all, my mother is a breast cancer survivor.

And in case you're curious, the bike is at the Macon, GA dealership.

It would be very cool if Harley did a special edition Koman bike for this cause.

Sounds like a great idea! Produce just enough to have one in each state.

That or each year, pick one model to be the Koman Harley.
