Navarre, FL | I just got back from a group ride to Gatlinburg with some friends, all Harleys except my Vision and my buddy's Goldwing. My observations- My 8-ball now has a name, I never name my rides but she is now officially known as "The Big Black Caddy" 560 miles straight through on the first day and I could have rode another 500. Super comfortable and the T-bags ATV bag recommended by forum member JS5owner worked great on my bike and my wife's Trike. While in the mountains we rode the Tail of the Dragon twice, the Hellbender and the Rattler. The Vision is amazing in the twisties for such a big bike, my friend's Goldwing was scraping pegs to keep up and I was riding pretty conservatively because this is the first time I have taken the bike through some real curves (not many roads like that down here in the Florida panhandle  A friend remarked that I looked so relaxed, like I was stretched out in a recliner, riding through the mountains. We had some construction caused delays through the national park that forced my Harley riding friends to shut off their overheating bikes, the Vision just purred right along. The only negative thing I can think of is that the neutral finder is sometimes a little too eager to find neutral. Now for some pipes and a tune and save up for cams I got lots of nice comments from fellow bikers and we had an awesome trip, I can't wait for the chance to do it again!
P.S. There will be some gopro video links coming as soon as I can get the video compiled. | |

Orlando, FL | Yea, the T Bag is incredible. And I got it for a song and a dance. I only wish I had bought an extra one for a spare! Too bad they stopped making them. But then,,,,,,,,,that's why I got such a deal!!
