    Here is a pic of us before the ride on the bike courtesy of Victory. Note the large amounts of room on the bike.

    Nice pic,is it just me, or does J just keep getting prettier?










    Of course she is sitting next to you Sean, and that might even make me look good.






    Nice right up on the Victory. When's the big day? I seem to recall something about it being close to Thanksgiving.

    Where's yours slick?

    Did you miss the ride date, or did I miss your write up? I was looking forward to your impressions. If you posted it, and I missed it. I apologize!

    I never got a chance to test one.

    Work got in the way.

    Dam work!!

    Sean does a lot better wright up tham me anyway.

    The heat issue, and the not being able to see well behind you would have turned me waaaayyyy off, and I would have not been as objective

    Ah well, that sucks!

    Now that they're out in the dealerships, I bet you could probably just get a ride under the standard Victory demo program.

    I like what I've read about the new Connie too.

    Are you already thinking of selling the Buel?

    Well I did like the bike but the Cons and the price far outweighed the Pros.
    Maybe they will wok it out after a couple of years.

    I happened to see one the other day at Julian pie company in Santa Ysabel. We were on a return of a rather frigid ride. Backed in right next to it. Damn that parking lot looked good. Two sweet Vic's...the sport bike guys were drooling.

    I have to admit the Vision is one sweet looking bike.
