Brighton, TN | Seems so lonely over a 100k. There aren't that many over a 100k, or many that want to admit it. I'll around the corner but not there yet. I believe VAicantstopridingRyder may actually lap me. Wow! Coolhandretiredluke should be just a smidge ahead of me. |

, FL United States | It's very frustrating. The closer I get to 100 K, the harder it is to ride - health issues, weather, $ for gas, etc. |

New Bohemia, VA | Luke, 92 is a strong number and you done well, even with toy hauler time,very impressive. Something tells me 100,000 is son coming. I only know of two possible 100,000 milers,just can't name them. |

, FL United States | Chris, I don't count the 25+ K that the Vision rode with me in the toy-hauler.. Only the sMiles that are on the odometer. |

New Bohemia, VA | oh, I know. But my point is, you ride when you get there. Those are not around the block miles, those are road miles, long road miles. And you also ride in the wonderful Florida weather. I wish you many, many more miles, my friend. |

on the edge of Los Angeles | One great thing about this is I believe I will pay off my bike before it fails to run any longer.
With the 08's we have set a baseline for many other Vision and Victory riders to gauge it's life expectancy.
Currently with 148 k being at the top end I know now my 08 is only 2/3 used at best! So It looks like another few years of service life still.
Possibly by that time 2018 or so It will be old enough to convert it into a Rat Rod bike or save it as a Classic?

New Bohemia, VA | I don't do this for any bragging rights, honestly. I like to ride, and it is my commuter. If I drove my car I put 25,000+ on it also prior to 2005. So no change in my habits, just the way I get around. I share this also because seriously, if this holds up to me, it will hold up for anyone. If anyone said it was soldier proof, I could prove them wrong. Victory's are soldier proof and Paratrooper proof. |

| Not on one bike, but on all my bikes, 100K easy. My Vision is the only bike I've wanted to keep long enough to hit 25K, and I plan to keep it much longer. |

Same here; in the aggregate I've gone past 100k as well on my bikes. |

Sand Rock, AL United States | tons of riders reach combined 100K on multiple bikes. To do it on one machine is special. Done over 100K on my 1994 Magna, 140K+ on my 99 Victory and plan to do it on my 2008 Vision , Lord willing.  |

New Bohemia, VA | I was going slobber a moment, but decided not too. The bottomline to me is not that I've got a 100,000 miles, but I've got the right bike. |

Sand Rock, AL United States | and to that point , if you have 100K (or 200K) on one machine, you know you have the right bike for you. |
