Well, in the last (2) days, I've let (2) different strangers ride my V-rod; and boy were they impressed. First guy was a 6'3" tall and thin car mechanic at the place where my son was applying for a job as a grease monkey. The tech has a nice Harley dresser, and the owner has been coveting the V-rod for a while now. The owner was busy with customers, but I let the tech ride it for 10 min; and he came back with a big grin on his face. I had the keys to his bike in my hand, and he seemed like a knowledgeable guy; so what the heck?
Then today there was a gathering of bikers (all types) at the local pizza parlor, and we were all out looking at each others rides; and of course the V-rod always draws the biggest crowd and most interest..right?
This nice guy I just met that rides a big BMW RT was really interested in my opinion of my bike and I said "take it for a ride". He is a very experienced rider, and also about 6'2" tall. Even though my bike is set up for my little 5'4" body, he also came back with a big grin, and kept telling the other riders (many rice rocketeers) how smooth the motor feels, and how relatively comfortable the V-rod felt to him.
I went on a 150 mile ride up into Marin county with about (20) other riders this afternoon, and got many questions and positive comments on the V-rod there too.
Let's keep spreading the word, and soon the rest of the biking community will realize what they have been missing, and what a great machine we all have.
