Managed to get the Night Rod out for a few miles this morning, before it rained. Hopefully warmer, dryer weather will arrive soon.

I`m 70 and just did a buyback on a `16 VRSCF. The used bike dealer ****ed it up. They put a battery in it and ****ed up the breather hoses so it leaked oil. 5 ****in` times I took it back to get fixed. The owner is a big man and bought it back. So I drove a VROD MUSCLE 300 miles and don`t miss it. Who knows what they did to it??? It was a nice bike but I learned how fragile the front down tubes are.

I would say there's anything "fragile" on a V-Rod, and in particular, the frame. What was the deal on the front down tubes?

Nothing at all "fragile" about the V-Rod. Nothing!
