True enough. Just fair warning for enthusiasts.

Plenty of people die sitting in a chair at home too.

I'm trying to quit, but until someone buys it this is my ride.

HEY PINSIDE. I am ALWAYS looking for Rz350's Please pass along info if you come across them. Gamma 500 or any 2 stroke super bike.
Quoted from BillySastard:2006 HD VRod CVO Screaming Eagle
I sold my Victory about a month ago and thought about getting out of biking for a while. I found this on the local Craigslist and bought it. I've found my love for motorcycling again with this bike.

What do you think of that VRod. I bought a muscle and I love it but it has two things I don't like. It has no torque, none. I put slip ons on it and took the cover off the air cleaner and it has even less. It also gets terrible fuel mileage, like 30 MPG. I put a riser on the bars that lifts them 2 inches and pulls them back 11/2 and it is much nicer to ride.
Had my license for 3 years. I've still got a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. Looking to get a Triumph Thruxton.
Had a date with this one girl who worked in the overnight ICU. I told her I had a motorcycle. She called it a donor-cycle. That was the last I heard from her.
// Error: Image 449349 not found //Apparently, I need to take more photos of my bikes. I have a 2001 Honda Shadow ACE 750 and a 2007 Harley Sportster 1200C. Here they are being modeled by my mom and sister.

I haven't really noticed a lag in torque, but I ride by myself and I don't really live hilly country. Did you install a fuel commander when you put on your slip-ons? My bike didn't have on when I bought it and I could feel that it wasn't running right. I installed a Cobra fuel commander and a K&N filter and that made a huge difference.
Fuel mileage has always been low on the VRods. They're made for performance, and your gas mileage definitely shows that.

It should be in the Smithsonian! Beautiful!

OMG, you have to retune that thing somehow when you mod it. After I put pipes on it, put a K&N on it and took the air cleaner cover off of it it ran like dog doo. It used a tank of gas in 30 miles. I bought a power vision because I didn't want to pay $400 for the tuner and $400 to HD to dyno it. I may have to go ahead and do that but it is paid for now.
Your bike is awesome looking.

BUT...I want this

That Rocker C is gorgeous. It is my 2nd favorite HD. My 2013 CVO Breakout is my first. I need a crotch rocket though as I have a incredible need for speed.
