Harley V-Rod query. - 5/28/2008 12:48:37 PM

Status: offline 		Ok.....

I love Harley's.....mind you I've never actually owned one as yet.

I prefer bikes that go around corners faster than walking pace and prefer the street fighter style.

Although having said that I do like the look of some Harley chops and street bikes.

I am thinking of trading my present Triumph trophy chop for a custom Harley V-Rod.

I'm thinking of going to the states to buy one.

Anybody out there got one or had one?

If so whats your impression?

Good or bad.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the advice, slaveboy: it's amazing how conflict arousal takes roots in the most irrelevant of discussions  .

PS: and let's not forget to add fuel to the debate with this:

Helmet, or no helmet?

Status: offline 		I love love love love love the man's Harley.  I just got back from Bike Week down in Myrtle Beach and was in heaven.  Surrounded by about 250,000 Harleys.  Nothing like that sound when they all rev up at the same time.  I was soooo wet the entire time.

Awww...don't be jealous.  I'm sure that someday, if you're a really really good girl you'll get to meet someone who owns one.  And they may even give you one ride on it.
