Is that a Victory? 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago  
Saturday I was on a PGR (patriot guard riders) mission and there were only 3 bikes there because some people think it's getting cold out.

Anyhow the other two bikes were Harley's. I came out and there were 3 guys looking at my bike and the one guy asked me "Is that a Victory?" and I laughed and said, "No, it's a Roadstar Sliverado". Then the one looked down and said, "Oh now I see"

So after a few minutes, they told me they really liked it, and thought it was a very good looking bike, but it could be louder (I've only done the Stage 1 to the exhaust so far).

I've had people call my bike an HD several times, but this was funny because it was 2 HD riders who thought it was a Victory. Had to share that

There are a lot of bikes that are a lot more confusing than mine, I mean mine looks almost stock with the exception of having removed the tank badges and added the decals. I couldn't imagine what they would have though if they saw your's with the Car Tire. I'm guessing that is getting you a lot of second looks too?

I had a guy ask me the other day, "Is that a Road Star?" Coulda' knocked me over with a feather... The dude used to have one, but said that he was in a corner, and although he didn't know what happened, the next thing he remembers is waking up in the hospital. He'd owned a 2005 1700cc, he said. It was probably the first time anyone's ever looked at my bike and known what it was. LOL

My new bike line is going to be a little bit of this that and another. I get it all mostly from people who don't know. I have had HD, Victory, V-star, and yes a Roadstar. Never had an Indian anyone know how I could go that road.
