Hi @SLC-Sam,

Welcome to MotoVlog.com.
Where are you from? What do you ride? Say hello, what do you like? Why are you here?

Got a photo of your bike?

 

[SLC-Sam]

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been riding motorcycles for almost 30 years. Had a hiatus after a pretty bad accident but now I have a 2004 V-Rod and for as much sh... er... crap I take from other bikers, I LOVE it!!!

Anyway, I found myself in possession of a GoPro recently (dangerous, i know) and I thought, "This might be fun!" So I strapped it to my handle bars. Now I have one mounted to my helmet and all mic-ed up. Figured I'd have some fun and who knows, might come in handy if, heaven forbid, i need it for insurance purposes.

But I also started a YouTube channel called Woolly Sammoth that name would make sense to you if you ever saw me without a shirt on (which will never happen).

I live in South Salt Lake, the home of car dealerships and strip clubs. Let's meet up sometime and ride and talk about bikes.

Welcome SLC Sam! Nice bike. Enjoy your stay, lot's of things to learn here on this forum and good chats too. : )

Welcome along. Ah the home of strip clubs... Sounds like my kind of place.

Welcome to the forum!

What year is the V-Rod? Are those the early model wheels but powder coated black? I remember back when the V-Rod first came out some sceptical folks were afraid of how the solid wheels would catch cross winds. I always thought those folks were crazy.

Welcome SLC Sam! I love the V-Rod, although I've never ridden one. My father-in-law has an early one, but it was mothballed (or forgotten about) years ago. Every time I see him I ask if he'll sell it to me... he still hasn't

I second R-Rated's question ... a buddy of mine has those dish-style wheels on his Softtail (2004 IIRC) and says crosswinds catch 'em and toss him around.

Better late than never

Hi @SLC-Sam nice V-Rod.
Discontinuing those is one of Harley's biggest mistakes.
It's one of the very few Harleys I'd be interested in owning/riding.
