New Bohemia, VA | Happy anniversary, Luke. Mine is sitting in the drive with 129,800 on the clock. BD, Luke is retired, and he even has a toy hauler. I work and daily commute, but have taken a few longer trips like to Florida, Texas, California, Michigan, PA, and points in between. |

Wow, what a great way to say hello and start my "journey" on my new Vision. Yesterday, Nov. 17, 2012, I picked up my 2012 Sunset Red VV from Cherokee Victory in Greer, SC. Only 1257 miles on her and I am the lucky second owner.
Got some catching up to do in the mileage dept, for sure. Will do a formal new member intro soon. Headinmg out now for my first ride here at home.
Congrats to the "high milers", and best wishes to all. Looking forward to making lots of new friends and sharing experiences out on the road. |

Princeton, IL | Congrats on the "New Vision"! While not as impressive, I have 63,000 miles on mine. This was a good year with over 16,000 miles this year. I haven't hung up my helmet yet this year! So far all of the miles have been trouble free. I wish you many more safe miles on your wonderful machine! |

Lindale, TX | Great job demonstrating a bullet proof bike. I own a 2008 Vision Tour Premium (purchased new April 2009). I have "only" 23,000 miles of pure riding pleasure. After changing bikes every 1-2 years, I can't find a reason to get ride of my black beauty. |

Chattanooga, TN | Thanks for blazing the trail for us wanna-be-bikers! I've only got about 37k on my 08. In my defense, I got it a little over 2 years ago and the original owner only had about 10k on it. I really like knowing what other riders are having issues with, especially these first models built! |

New Bohemia, VA | The only issue is, I can't stop long enough to take care of my bike. I ride a few days with a bolt missing in my rear caliber and didn't even know it. |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | varyder - 2012-11-18 8:05 PM The only issue is, I can't stop long enough to take care of my bike. I ride a few days with a bolt missing in my rear caliber and didn't even know it. That's cuz you're really not a biker, Chris. EVERY real biker knows that you do your own maintenance, buy the cheapest oil, cheapest parts, and do the wrenching yourself. That way - bolts don't go missing! Some day you will learn what I know - a REAL biker ....  OH! And I have LOVED my Vision of the Future since my first ride in April, 2008! Anyone know yet where the oil dipstick is? I haven't needed to know, but .... |

Buford, GA United States | Miss Vicky will be 5 years old on December the 7th, I should hit 60,000 miles by then. Never thought I would own a bike with that many miles. I got out Saturday and rode to the North Georgia mountains and on the way going up highway 9 just outside of Dahlonega I pull up behind a Harley Ultra just as a nice little run of twisties is about to begin. He thinks that he can pull away but all I do is maintain my distance from him no matter how fast or slow he goes. After about 2 miles he pulls way over and motions for me to go by as he is about to loose it trying to pull away and watch me in his mirrors. It is always fun playing with the Harleys... |

Sand Rock, AL United States | congrats to all the Vision owners! I have 38,000 today on the Visionquest. Chris, I hear RedRider lunatic Fringe playing not Madonna haha). Mine is used. It has 20,000 miles on it when I bought it May 25th 2012. I get so aggrevated at life because I have to stop riding this motorcycle to do mundane , silly things like sleep or go to work, etc  . When I retire (Lord willing) watch out! When I bought the starship Visionquest, I stopped looking at bikes for sale in the classifieds, on the internet, I stopped going into bike stores all the time. I have never exhibited that behavior with any other bike I haved owned! I'm so thankful to the Lord that I finally own my dreambike! |

| Mine will have it's 5th birthday tomorrow. Picked her up the day after Chris got his. Don't have quite the miles he does, but we're working in it!
We've had over 38,000 trouble free miles together and are planning many more!

Tifton, GA | Today is what I consider my 2 year anniversary with my Vision. Got her the Wed. night before Thanksgiving 2010. She was the 2011 one they did a Utube commercial with at Polaris of Gainsville. Only have 38,635 miles so far since I just retired at the end of June this year. Best bike I have ever owned and seem to enjoy it more each time I ride. Congratulations to all who are celebrating this month. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving holiday. |
