my most disgusting photo of year 2002??

[XX@rnold]

A few hours left before year 2002 ends. I was looking for a photo my Bird, but I have found one I have almost forgotten. Everyone was shocked when they saw the photo.
How could I do it? Was I out of my mind?
The story:
I rode on my Bird (in full leathers and full face helmet with dark visor) to my dealer to get fresh rubber a few days before I left for my holiday tour to the Northcape.
While the mechanic was changing tires, my dealer said to me that I can have a ride on the V-Rod instead of waiting. I did not have to think twice, so I accepted the offer. A lot of heads were turning that day when I was passing by on the V-Rod. If you look at the photo you will know why.

No, I am not even thinking about trading in my Bird!

Go on Arnold, enlighten me, why were you turning heads?

Looks pretty normal to me

I actually quite like the V-ROD, having read an article on it i was suprised to find that it actually has some power behind it.
A mate of mine's dad has a fatboy and a sportster which i have ridden and liked the comfort but no matter what you did with the gears and throttle they just dont go.
I'd quite like a go on one just to see what its like.
Do tell us Arnold, was it fun?

LOL Arnold and Joeboy, you must know some weird people ! :h :neenaw:

Oddly enough, a member of my local club rides a V Rod and he always rides in full leathers too !
We all keep asking him when he is gonna have some tassles and a fringe sewn on the arms ! :yo:

I have to confess that it was fun . I year ago I could ride a FXDX Superglide sport as loan bike when my Bird was serviced by my dealer. The engine of the V-Rod feels much better, runs smooth without vibrations!! The Superglide is old fashioned compared to the V-Rod. The power is superb for a v-twin. A sportier frame would make it much more atractive. The engine of the V-Rod in a Buell X1 .......... that would be real fun.
If you have the change to ride one, just do it.

Although it was fun to ride the V-Rod I was very glad to be on my blue (=fastest colour :} ) Blackbird again.

I am afraid that I can't explain why I was turning heads. I guess it must be the fact that I was the only one who was normal and all the others, who were turning their heads, were not.
