Central Illinois | I just got the phone call and I now know what I will be doing the rest of the day. A little clean up on my Road Glide and I will be off to my local dealer to become a Vision rider. The accessories I wanted have not come in yet but I will be back there soon for my 500 miles service, which will be soon enough for those new accessories. |

Central Illinois | No cigar here, I quit smoking on Sept. 1 2001, the day I went in for my neck cancer surgery. Thanks for the sentiment though.
I got it at Sportland Motorsports in Urbana. For me it was a toss-up to go there or Springfield as far as distance but I had been dealing with the guy in Urbana and he ordered me the black 2013 that I wanted. East Peoria is about 20 miles further and I have not actually been there yet. |

Leighton, IA | Congrats, Oldman47. I sincerely hope that you like yours as much as I like mine. I've had mine less than a month and have 1400 (s)miles on her. What a great riding bike it is. Finally there's an American made competitor to the Honda Gold Wing of which I've owned 7 over the last 30 years or so. |

Central Illinois | Glen I always try to attend local events like the bike nights. So far I have been riding my FLTRU but I expect to ride my 2013 Vision to future events instead. I am not a brand name junkie so I expect to do just fine with the local HD bikes. If you attend bike nights, you will see me there part of the time, not every time.<br />
