Default V ROD

Loaned a 1250 V Rod from the dealer when my Fat boy went in for its 1000mile service.

I was very impressed with its performance and comfort,its no replacement for the fatboy but it would make a good second harley choice.

I really can't see me getting rid of my V but at times I do miss the rumble of my old air cooled bikes, I think the fatboy would be a good second bike for me

I have an 04 V Rod and a 97 Heritage Springer. Old school and New school. Each are great bikes for what they were meant to be.

I always used to like the Springers, They stood out on there own, Was a Little confused that HD stopped making them this year.

Man! that is my all time favorite!!! It is the white one with the red stripes right? I've always loved that bike, I almost had one made before I bought my V but I just really wanted to get away from custom built bikes. If the MoCo came out with one with the 96" I'd have a hard time not buying one.
