Harley have released a W-Rod

**scracha** · 16th June 2006, 23:17

Like a V-Rod but with a conversion kit for born again bikers.

I've seen this somewhere before. I think it was modified for some dude in a wheelchair.
Good on him for keeping on doing it I reckon.

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Finally.. TRAINING WHEELS!!

PS. I still think that Buell has a retractable training wheel..

I dont understand know why you think thats funny, i wouldnt think that it would have effected the lean angle on most harleys.

I'd get that when I crash and kill my legs......

I bet theres a huge market for normal people too, called honda riders!

long story.. goes way back (around the time that i first joined in January/February) it was a post about some stolen bikes (out of a container), and it was the first time I saw a pic of a belt-driven Buell.. and i said that it looked like it had a retractable training wheel (i still reckon it does), but to finally see bolted on training wheels just makes me laugh..

Hear, hear! Last Sunday I got the toes of both boots down around the Waipu loop with Busapete etc. (and not just when I stopped!). Was fun! I do agree they probably wouldn't restrict a V-Rod much more than without them, though. The V-Rod's cornering clearance is abysmal!

perhaps I should use that as my avatar

Took me an entire track day to just get one toe down! Did get rid of my chicken strips tho....

Pity no one is smart enough to make crash bungs/rollerblades for all these harley haters - mind due it it funny to watch them fork out the big bucks to replace those fairings.
Harley, if you havent tried one - dont whine. They have a decent ammount going for em. As for the vrod cornering - i seen 3 so far scraping the pegs on a good 45 degrees. Fucked if id want to do that on one of them - but good effort to those riders i feel.
