Yep, I've had a 750 for almost 3 years. Magnas are nice bikes -- I've ridden behind a few (I was TRYING to ride beside them...). I guess you're not riding much now, unless you've got snow tires... Has your friend ever heard of the Vulcan Riders & Owners Club (
www.vroc.org)? Free to join, great source of info about any of the Vulcan line.
