This forum is terriffic. I have found a lot of information that has helped with my recent V-rod purchase. 3 weeks ago I bought a 2003 100th Anniv V-rod. The bike I have been riding for the last 15 years was a '77 KZ-650( striaght 4 cyl). The V-rod is a whole different riding style, being so long and raked out. Last weekend I was out for a 3 hour ride. Some sections had some good twisties. I could use some tips on cornering.
I scared the *?#* out of myself be scraping the pegs a few times. On the left it was just the front peg. On the right it was the peg and the bottom muffler. I recovered OK, but was worried about where the line is between just dragging the peg, and having the tires slip out from under you ( especially on the right side).
I suspect some advice will be " slow down", but that isn't much fun.
Thanks for your tips,
