It doesn't take long at all. Probably a bad idea posting your thread with this crowd. Not that long ago I posted a similar thread asking if anyone had any experience with the V-Rod. It was a bad idea too. It became completely argumentative and counterproductive to it's original intent. I became so disgusted that I wound up deleting the thread in it's entirety. Hope you get better results.Comment

I actually dig the Boss-Hoss bikes, nothing like having an American made V-8 strapped between your legs! As long as it's a Chevy and not a Ford motor......... LOL!Comment

Several years ago, they had three engines available. The "small" one was the 4.3L V6, then the 5.7L (350ci) V8 and the 8.2L (502ci) V8.
I have seen a few of them in action.
Let's just say "interesting". 
A great "styling" bike, but even with its 9-gallon fuel tank, its range is no better than most GS L bikes.

I also rode a few on demo day and I was impressed with the engine and the handling was Ok. I liked the Judge. Not enough cornering clearance.Current Rides: 1980 Suzuki GS1000ET, 2006 H-D Fatboy, 2021 BMW K1600BComment

V-rod's is cool looking. Don't know why any one would bash another on two or even three wheels. Scooters, c-rockets, heck even a engine dropped onto the front of a bicycle works... Z'all good if they are done correctly
Here is one that works for me... http://images.craigslist.org/01515_c...uX_600x450.jpgComment

Sorry, but this wasn't my thread. I was just trying to contribute, as I did on your V-Rod thread. But this thread wasn't even about an HD. All the bashing used to pi$$ me off. Now it's just boring, and a waste of an excellent resource.It doesn't take long at all. Probably a bad idea posting your thread with this crowd. Not that long ago I posted a similar thread asking if anyone had any experience with the V-Rod. It was a bad idea too.

Yeah. The Harley bashing is all in good fun.Here are my two pet peeves with Harleys.
1... Its way over priced based on "NOSTALDIA". Damned thing is juat another bike really.
2... The look down their nose attitudes coupled with I am a BILLY BADAZZ attitude is a real turn off..just be a normal regular dude and it would be more well received.Comment

Damned right I am dead set serious!!!! I grew up around the Harley douches and to this day they are STILL Harley douches!!!!!
Bunch of friggin dicckholes with a slow noisy bike and an attitude like they were the end all of all motorcyclists.
Then theres you Todd. Example of exactly WHY I don't like the Harley douche clan.Last edited by chuck hahn; 08-06-2013, 02:29 PM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Perhaps they're only douches to you. For good reason!
No skin off my a$$, I couldn't care less about you or your trailer park opinions.Last edited by Guest; 08-06-2013, 02:27 PM.Comment

Nope..has nothing to do with me. I can go anywhere and not know anyone for 300 miles around and a Harley douche acts like a Harley douche...its not geographics or anything of the sort. They are universally azzhats...so I don't like or hang with the azzhats
Plain and simple.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Back to the subject at hand..
Victory is a great looking bike and although I have never been on one I wouldn't turn down a test ride, for sure.
To me, the engine looks kinda odd. It's like the jugs are too tall, or something.
Yes, it's gotta look good.Comment
