And that's no V-rod, it's a Streetrod. Those had decent suspensions and mid-mount pegs so of course they didn't sell and Harley dropped the model. > Although as pointed out here: > > http://www.metacafe.com/watch/566252/harley_v_rod/ > > ...looks like the first thing that's going to touch the pavement is > your heel!

IRC is a brand of really REALLY shitty tyres...often found as OEM tyres on mid to lower budgeted motorcycles. They are best not purchased ever... Been There Done (did) That...sheesh. I'm no computer geek and I know that. Then again I also know the ME/EE doctors use of CYA it's the same for all three. |
