Willie left and the Ivory tower morons never ever pushed the Vrod bike to the upcoming generations.
In fact, they dumped it!
Like idiots.
If HD fails, IDC as they have missed the train so many times!
They had the gobermebt bail them out at least two times.
So for all their mantra about being independent and American, they have applied some pretty big Socialist ideals.
I'm no expert but the V rod is one badazz looking bike, if I had the $$$ one would probably be sitting in the garage. Shame they didn't put that engine in a sportier frame, especially after the spent all that money developing it.
