My wife who owns a 04 VRSCB belongs to our sister forum, Vrodforums.com. At Daytona they had a group meeting at the Ocean Center where Harley has its display. The group gets together throughout the year at different events so new riders of vrods can meet. A photographer from the harley website took a group pic that can be seen at the Daytona pics area. After the meet a few executives from Harley were to show for any questions or concerns about the Vrods....well the "Man" showed up, Willie G along with his daughter Karen. My wife is now the proud owner of the only "Willie G" signature VRSCB. Here are a few pics I took of the historic ocassion. Of course I got my jacket signed by both Willie and his daughter. It was a surprise to see and speak to both. They are very interested in how their product is used as well as customized. All but 2 or 3 Vrods were modified with either paint as well as performance mods. If you are interested in a great VRod forum check out the website. We have meet many new friends from around our area as well as from all over the country. I myself prefer my 02 Road King, but they tolerate me at those events....LOL. But if they ever build a touring model with the revolution engine I'll be the first one in line.

That's totally awesome! What did he sign it with? Is it permanent? Looks good and that is a pretty unique experience. Did you put a plug in for the forum?
How freakin' awesome. Now we have our Mascot. Please pass it along to the next list member you meet and let me know when it gets to IL, then I'll pass it on to Markcuda and he can put 50,000 miles on it in a month.!
Willie G used a paint pen. I talk to the dealer who does most of my service and he is going to clear coat the air box cover so it protects the signature.
It was a awesome experience that we wouldn't forget. Look for the VRod meet next year in Daytona and I'm sure Willie G will be back....
The Vrod forum got a group pic posted on Harley's website.
