I joined last week so thought I should say hi.

I commute to work everyday in Los Angeles, CA (East LA) from Orange County via the LA freeway system. I ride a VSRC (Night Rod) 65 - 70 miles per day. I'm looking forward to getting information from VROD experts as this thing is "different".

Now let's see if I do this message right; I'm new to the forum as well as the VROD.

Howdy Terry, welcome to the forum. I don't anything about the V-rods issue, but I am sure that somebody will be able to help you. I have one question for you. When riding a V-rod, doesn't that bother your back after a while? I realize that my back is probably a little older than yours, but I was just curious. Thanks

Actualy with the Night Rod I sit up straight; I purchased a new seat and little bitty backrest for the passanger. (My wife said that she wouldn't ride on the origional one since she would slid right off the back). Let's see if I can get the picture to work. I also added a little windshield. The picture is of me riding down the street where I live.

Whittier, Ca here! Nice looking ride. Welcome to our little thing. V-Rod forum doesn't seem to be as active as others but we are all here to help for crossover issues. Hope to see you on the 5 Fwy someday.
