Just got back from a nice ride.
Funny, I just rode around for the first time with my friend and his new V-Rod. We stop for gas and every one stopped to look at his bike complimenting it. We ride some more stop for something to drink at a convenience store and everyone coming in an out is looking at his bike and complimenting it. He was like a movie star.

I'd buy an 8th model year Super Glide V-rod that has a reasonable steering head angle, ground clearance and foot pegs where they're supposed to be. HD won't do anything with that bike and engine because they don't sell many. They don't sell many because they won't do anything with that bike that's functional. All the while crying that young people won't come to the brand.
Common sense is the new super power.

It's funny cause I always hear a lot of negative stuff said about them on HD forums but received nothing but compliments and praise from HD riders & sport bike riders when I was out n about....?
