Hello i am new to the new v-rods and just wanted to say hi and tell all how i came to buy my lovley new v-rod.Well i have been shopping around and i have owned a bike for the past 4 1/2 years and went shopping for a new bike and i looked and found a new 08 v-rod that was a left over so i said lets make a deal well all went well and i test rode it and loved it.So i went up and signed all the papers and said ok lets go home and go out and ride "like most of us" so just as i was about to leave it started to rain i siad hell i have ridden in the rain more than enough times and the bike had around 75 miles so i figured the film the put on the tires when they are new so they dont stick to the molds was worn off by now and said well hell i will just go home and take it easy with the rain and all will be fine.Well all went well untill i got about a 1/2 mile from home and then the front tire slid and by the time i realized that shit i am going to hit the ground and then i was skipping across the ground and watching my new bike getting trashed as it was skidding across the ground and the train tracks so i dont know how bad the damage is to the bike but i guess i was lucky and only have a broken rid and a few bumps but other than that all is good for me now i just have to see what the insurance company wants to do.YEA not really well nice to meet yall and hope to get to know more about my bike.Thanks guys mike:bash:

Yea thanks i know the front highway peg was ripped off the frame and it looks tweeked but is the front of the frame looks like it is bolted on is this true or is something different it is a 08 "VRSCD" I just want to know if the will fix it because i would be pissed if they trashed it it only has like 80 miles on the bike.Thanks mike
