Welcome Kimberly! I hope you are used to being an outcast. But when you have a really cool bike, who cares?
Actually, yea, I'm used to being an outcast!! But, I make life what I want it. I don't care what anyone thinks about me. And, yes, who cares when you are cool!

Welcome fo sure!

I don't know about the outcast thing...I always get a responseof amazement from other fellow Harley riders when we get down to brass techy talk tacks. Just gotta explain ever so gentlythe fact that this bike will blow the good ol' doors off any other Harley/cruiser. That usually is a given when youmention 115HP outta the factory. Air guys can't even get close to this with mods. From there...they just stare at ya, ever so quietly.I always try and instill some Harley prideby saying, "yes, Harley has built a monster and you should be damn proud of this beast". Gets 'em every time. I love it and what a freaking bike! Simply awesome!

Another eye opener is tell them about the break in period which for a Vis beat the beejesus out of the bike...not baby it. This bike wants and needs to be run and run darn hard...always. This machine is something to be reckoned with...that's for sure. Had a fellow Road King buddy ride mine and all he said was, "Jesus...this thing wants to lift at the front and fly". Oh yeah baby...that's the V...all power. Stand tall and proud...you ride a V-Rod...the true amazement of Harley now and in the future.

Ride safe...

Thank you BillyD

Been there done that already! People just keep their mouth shut about it now. But they do rib me alot about riding with other Harleys... almost like it's sin to put this baby in with them, like those others have the plague or something. I can keep up with any of those sport bikers. In fact, my husband rides the new Buell 1125R. He makes not bones about telling everyone it has 140something horses. **it's a Harley, what can I say?**

I have fun!
