What's pretty funny is that a lot of die hard Harley guys don't like the Vrod and the guys that ride them. I was on the highway a few years ago on my Monster (air cooled) and a bus overturned and froze traffic completely. It was summer and I ended up next to a guy on an ultra glide. We were sitting there talking for a couple of hours slowly inching along every now and then and talking about bikes, etc. I showed him my gauge and said that I'd never seen my engine temp this high. He said his bike didn't have a temp gauge, but he was getting close to having to pull over and let it cool down. I asked him how he knew he was close to overheating with no temp gauge and he said he'll know when it starts leaking oil everywhere.
