Hey Hot Bike,
I'm a member of a V-Rod forum (www.1130cc.com) and I read a post about a member who read HOT BIKE magazine and noticed a question about why there are no pictures of V-Rods in your magazine, and I guess the response was for V-Rodders to send pictures. So I . gured I would give it a shot. I've had a few custom bikes and a few stock air-cooled Harleys in the past and I have never loved a bike more than my 2002 VRSCA! I've attached a couple of pictures of my '02; I actually doubt they are good enough pictures to go in a magazine, and my bike is nowhere near custom. I've done the normal stuff to it, grips, pegs, exhaust, chrome, etc.

What's the deal?
Hey HOT BIKE, cover Vol.40, No.3 says Cole Foster's So-Cal Drag Bike and Dave Perewtiz's Boston Brawler. Cole's not from So-Cal and Dave's shop is in Bridgewater, not Boston. What's up with that?

Hey Zack,
You pay attention to details; you must have been a better student than we were. The So-Cal thing on Cole's Moon Rocket bike (www.salinasboys.com) came from the Mooneyes Co. sponsorship logos on the bike; there was a caption explaining this but due to space it was cut from the layout. Mooneyes is a well-known drag racing/street rod company based out of Southern Cal, check 'em out (www.mooneyesusa. com). As for Dave (www.perewitz.com) and the Boston reference, well, that was just a mistake on our part. In the mix of throwing cover lines around, "Boston Brawler" popped up, and even though we know Dave's shop is in Bridgewater, MA, about 25 miles south of Boston, the correction slipped through the cracks. Sorry, Dave-if it caused any strife around town, we all know you love Bridgewater.
