One question tho, upon returning it they didnt question the scraping of the pegs at all?

Nope...I told the guy about it half way through the ride....he asked me what I thought at a stop sign.

He was the sales manager...and he was hauling ASS around these corners. I was doing my best to keep up on a bike I didn't know.

(Don't worry...I was in full control.)

thats pretty friggin cool! Our local dealers dont typically offer or allow test rides, so I wasnt sure how theyd feel about that kinda thing.

Would never worry about you being in control or not, a few others, maaaybe...

This guy could rail on whatever HD he was on. Maybe a night train. He also knew the roads. In fact, when I told him about scraping...he said "thats what the feelers are for!".

Truth be told I'd take the new Vrod Muscle over the standard. It's got an inverted fork, ABS stadard, a cleaner rear fender and A SLIPPER CLUTCH.

Never been a fan of the Vrod, but that black one is badass. I' think someday I will have a Street Glide for long trips. Best looking model IMHO

Most HD dealers have demo bikes.
