I went for the demo ride earlier this month. Road three bikes a Hammer,I liked the power not the rear tire. KingPin nice ride.Then I rode the CrossRoads,very nice smooth ride good power. went back and made a deal on a black CrossRoads.Picked it up this past Saturday late in the afternoon. Did not get to ride it much this weekend,but I think I am going to really enjoy this bike. This was not the first time I had taken a demo on the Victorys. I have really enjoyed my Speedmaster great bike. I was really impressed at the demo rides of the CrossRoads, apparently to impressed it ate at me tell I went back and bought one.
