What'd you think of that all-chromed dresser? GORGEOUS!

IMHO, there is no such thing as too much chrome. Having said that, I'd lose even more knuckle skin polishing that bike than I do now dragging them on the ground!

Have you taken a V-Rod for a test spin yet? Many dealers are offering demo rides. I made the mistake of taking one for a scoot last week; now I'm Jonesing . . . URRRK!

The turning radius (lock to lock) is too limited, the instruments suck and the bend of the bars seems funny to me, but . . .

Superb controls, plush yet competent handling with lots of grip. The aerodynamics of the front trimmings deflect the wind blast nicely, allowing the leaned back, La-Z-Boy seating position to actually work, something you wouldn't expect just looking at it. And wow, what a motor! I'd love to see that motor in a Bagger or a Buell.

I'm resisting the test drive for precisely the same reason (that, and it's just too pricey for my blood).

Saw a guy riding one a few weeks ago with Corbin hard bags fitted. Did *not* look bad.
