I picked up my 2003 V-ROD last week. I since put 500 miles on it. It now has 8300 miles on it and I´m finding it hard to let it sit. I know among other Harley Davidson owners this isn´t considered a True Harley. To those people I have to say, ride Parthenon tell me what a True Harley is. This isn´t my first Harley but it already is my favorite. I have the silver and black combination with lots of extra crome. I have had. One people in one week roll down their windows and tell me what a nice looking bike it is. I love the way it corners and racing Honda´s has become a pleasure. Yes, I´m quite happy with it and glad I didn´t get any of the fat boys I was looking at. Oh, I didn´t mention, my pipes sound like any other Harley on the road!
