ORIGINAL: Vrod Mike

....the cheap looking plastic under the seat has to go. Plus for me I never liked the springer front end, so I would never own one. Add to that the limited output of the anemic motor in that bike and I could never find myself being happy with it.
[sm=exactly.gif][sm=exactly.gif][sm=exactly.gif]It is almost a complete opposite of a V-Rod, maybe that's why you like it, but it isn't for me.

Did you have a seat on it? i sat on one at the local HD shop, what a letdown, felt likeI was sitting on a highchair. What a waste of a great idea.

Went to the bike expo here this weekend(got to feel Michelle Smith) and there it was calling me and calling me again...the Xbones. Of course my fellow riders were pushing me and pushing me to the bike and then I realized...misery loves company...that is why they push me to that bike! They want me to be as slow as they are...they don't like the fact they are riding with one of the most unique HDs ever designed and even a HD outcast at that in their eyes...they want me to be just like them...human nature right? Aint happenin.

That Xbones calls to me likea ***** on the side of the road and I've passed them by as well...not to say it wouldn't be a blast!
