Grand Cane, LA | Been Riding Through Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa And Now Into Minnesota. Have Only Seen One Other Victory Rider And It Just Happened To Be An '08 Vision In Midnight Cherry Like Mine. Usually All I Ever See Are The Black Ones. Really Am Surprised I Haven't Seen More On The Road In The Area. |

Prairie City, IA United States | Victory riders are elusive. We are always on the move. We ride back roads and stay stealthy unless we see a car that is and then we brighten up to be seen. 2 Victories will be in Prairie Du Chien tonight. |

Perry Hall, MD | Something to be said for being different from everything else you see on the road. Have to admit though to being surprised, even a bit excited, when I do run across another Vision on the road. |

Gulfport, MS | I don't mind not seeing many Victorys at all, as a matter of fact that was a factor in picking my 2013 Sunset Red Vision |

Central Illinois | I have met only one other Victory rider face to face, but just yesterday I noticed a Highball parked just 2 spaces from me when I was out to supper. I went into the restaurant and just guessed who the rider was. It turns out that a different person who was at that same table walked up to that bike and rode off. I have had a PM from someone who lives about 40 miles away who would like to share rides but I am not much for any structured riding so I have not yet connected with him. |

Davenport, IA | I see Visions quite often in Iowa. Matter of fact, early last Saturday morning, which would of been the 13th, I was traveling west on interstate 80 just west of Iowa City, I pulled into the rest area, and just shortly after dismounting, I saw a blue Vision blasting by. Shucks, if I would have slowed some, we could have ridden a ways together. |

| I'm currently in Southeast Ohio but soon to be heading north. Plan on attending the VMC "Little Sturgis" in Sturgis, MI then I'm going into Canada for a few days, looping down into Yellowstone, rolling over to Sturgis, SD (for the first time) and going to catch AVR before heading back home.
So if you see a Black and Silver Vision pulling a Lees-ure Lite pop-up tent trailer, be sure to wave because I WAVE TO ALL BIKES.
Hope to see some of you during at least one of the rallies.

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Last year on my western swing trip I probably saw 100 Victorys and about 25 Visions on the highways during 19 days. I talked to all I saw at gas stops or hotels. They were usually like me one vision with a few harley buddies. That dosen't count the 300+ Victory parade I saw between Sturgis and Deadwood. Now reason it was +/_ one week of Sturgis and people were out and or on seperate trips....... One fella I talked to who happened to be 6"10" and rode a CCT said he had four other brothers, all tall like him and three had Victorys two had Harleys........ |

Sand Rock, AL United States | Visions are like Clingon birds of prey, we ride cloaked sometimes. Seriously, I see more victorys than ever but still not many. I got up one morning from camping in Red Lodge and woke up to a Vision camping right next door to me! A guy i work with has a Kingpin. |

Mount Vernon, WA United States | The Pacific Northwest as usual is a bit different. Seems if it's not a Harley or Honda (expected), it's a Triumph or a Victory, and there are LOT of'em. When I moved here in 2006, I had the only V92C I knew of and my friend Ken had the only TC he knew of since he purchased it in 2002. We have a Dealer in town, and other than events, we didn't see many for several years. Than, all of a sudden, it seems they are everywhere. Kingpins, Hammer, Vegas, Vision's etc.. probably see at least one a day even if I just make a quick run to the store. |

Grand Cane, LA | Well made it back home to good ole' Louisiana today. Had a good ride all but the last 15 miles before hitting the house. A torrential downpour as I'm getting off the freeway. Oh well can't complain, 3300 miles and had beautiful weather all the way. Saw one other Victory while passing through Pocohontas, AR. It was a blacked out Cross Roads and man did that thing look sweet. Wouldn't trade my Vision for it, but it looked good just the same. |

| I attended the Chicagoland Ride for Kids charity event this past Sunday and out of the approximately 500 bikes in attendance I saw at least 6 Visions, a couple of Cross Countrys, a few Cross roads, and a few of the other "standard" Victory motorcycles. Not a bad showing at all to have around 20 Victory bikes out of that total. |

Grand Cane, LA | Hey bob5219, how come there are so many Victory riders out that way and hardly any dealers out there? I figured I would have seen more around the Midwest being there are more dealers around that area.
Travelin Man that's more like what I expected to see on the road but not this time. Last year I seen at least 20 or more Victory bikes while out riding around Tennessee and Virginia. I guess I was expecting to see more while riding up through the middle as there seems to be more dealers that way. |
