Yes, I did pick up the bike. Have not ridden it very much, maybe 100 miles.

I seem to remember the early V-Rods having a design that bent the lower part of the frame or broke engine cases when the bike was dropped. I think it was the foot peg that did it.

I can personally offer a +1 to that comment. I remember just barely laying it down once, and I ended up snapping the footpeg right off the right hand side at the weld point. Fortunately, the frame is modular. I was able to just replace that one small piece of the frame, and it just bolted right into place.
