OT Harley Davidson, some Porsche Options

[ws91420]

I was watching a special on the development of the V-Rod and heard that the engine was developed jointly by HD and Porsche and was even tested on dynos at the Porsche facilities in Germany.. I know the Vrod has been out for awhile I just didn't catch it the first time I saw the special. A two wheel Porsche maybe, but its water cooled.

I liked it so much that I bought the company....well a small piece of it anyway. I bought a 2003 V-Rod in the two tone black and silver. I first heard about it at a Porsche club meeting and after seeing one was blown away by the styling. I ended up with mine by justifying the cost with things like "It's a 100th anniversary model and that is the only year you can get black and silver from the factory", "Harleys don't depreciate like other bikes", "It's only $300 per month", and other lies that are probably too embarassing to admit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) I've only put 100 miles on it but look forward to many more this summer.
