Default before the V-ROD

I was wondering how many V-ROD riders owned an air-cooled Harley before moving to the V-ROD. And if so, which one.
I plan on keeping my Nightster for a long time. I love the raw hotrod feel. But if I had the cash for a 2nd bike, the Night Rod would be at the top of my list!
Its like a modern equally bada** version of the Nightster! [sm=badbadbad.gif]

1976 Superglide, bought new off the showroom floor. Price was $3,000
&nbsp\\;
Sold it two years later and spent money on faster bikes over the years.
&nbsp\\;
Last February I got tired of siting on my nuts. I bought the 2007 VRSCA, put Reinhardt 2-1 and a PCIII on it have been happy ever since.

I had a Sportster XLC 883. Never happier than when I got the V!

I'm not sure about the "equal" part though [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

Heritage, Road King, 2 wide glides, sportster, and fatboy-I loved them all but not as much as my v-rod.

I have a 1964 DuoGlide that I owned since 1980 and still have it, and I was riding it all the time till 2006 after I got the V, the old pan just sits. The only problem is that my thumbs is getting sore pushing the starter button

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; 2005 Dyna Superglide, Pearl Chopper Blue,&nbsp\\;SE air, Wild1 Chubby drag bars,&nbsp\\;Tradewinds headlight,&nbsp\\;solo seat, and V&amp\\;H tapered slash cuts.&nbsp\\; Great bike!&nbsp\\; If I could have two bikes, it would still be in the garage.&nbsp\\; It was my first HD.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; But since I can only have one bike, I'm glad to be on a 2008 VRSCDXA Night Rod Special with Fat Shots and with no regrets.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

I had one hell of a sportster before the DX i wish i still had it, that this was hilarious in the twisties, the night rod, not so much, but on the straights the DX is way more fun
