I don't know what you mean by V-twins, but what I saw were genuine
Harleys -- logo and all.  Hardly a rice burner in the lot until we were
in an urban area such as Phoenix.  My son (who has a pair of BMWs) gave
a good explanation.  No one rides very far on a rice burner -- they are
not that comfortable.  His BMW and the Harleys are decent touring bikes.
There was one guy I talked to in Bryce (NE corner of Utah).  His wife
had a modified Harley to fit her dimunitive stature.  I think she was
less than five feet and less than 100 pound.  The seat was pushed
forward, and cushion taken out of the bottom so that she could reach.
He was more than 6 foot tall and was driving a more standard machine.
They had driven up from Dallas, Texas!
