| Well turned 3700 miles today on my Vision (about 210) from the Back seat) and this baby is getting smoother by the mile. A little gear lash noise for the first 1200-1500 miles was noticable but it seems to really be quiting down now.
Switched to Amsoil 20-50 after the first 500 miles as the temps here in the desert go up to 115 and today was still 90 hahahahaha you east coast suckers I rode in a tee shirt all day today. We just got 16 more Visions in this week and are busy putting them together and the more we work on them the more I like this bike.
Pulled a Vision Motor Last week to diamond cut the heads and Cylinders and do a little warmup work and OMG the engineering on this baby is unreal, Once you get her undressed you see how smart the Victory Engineers are and am I impressed with how this thing is built.
Once you know the process the panels come right off and this baby is simple to work on and get to things.

Brighton, TN | AZ, Too hot and sandy, I like the trees and grass, not rocks and rocks. Yeah, it's a little cool but Songfan showed me some gear that I'll be getting so I can pretend it's warm. I rode in about 85 degree weather stop and go traffic and about burn up. May have to put me a an electric fan on the bike just to get some air. Even the old hands were starting to sweat. Need a better way to direct air in and out, adjustable maybe! What do you think a nice 12 inch oscillating fan attached to the handlebars, maybe they add that option for hot weather riding. |

29 Palms California | will you be able to reach your dr. pepper? I know, you could get a fricken TRAILER and put an airconditioning unit into it. Pipe the air via pvc hose down your neck...I mean, there is soooo many options when it comes to hauling an RV on the back of your MOTORCYCLE! Be careful you leave room for the coffe machine, and your wifes china set...just saying |

Brighton, TN | yeah the stuff he showed me has pockets galore, I could be having a DP/hour, with a flush and fill every two. Do the Harley's have this option too. If I put my trailer back there the wife would want to be carrying a Starbucks Barista on board. If I could figure out how to get A/C in my suit and it be cost effective, apparently under 1000 (thats what the GPS unit goes For), then I might have a different outlook on life, probably wouldn't work again. |

29 Palms California | Do you except change? LOL ...just put it in the slot. hey, poop (chicken chiquito) I don't swing that way (anymore). It was in college, I was experimenting....I looked good in the pumps and thong. My girl did hate that week, I used all her aqua eye makeup. WHAT THE HECK? That's nasty just trying make something funny out of it. Honestly, I like the buttery roast beef! |

Corpus Christi Tx. | You guys just got 16 Visions in and us down here in South Texas can't even get one. What's the deal on that. I guess we're too down south to get anything for that matter. I'm constantly hounding the local Victory dealer for a Vision and all they can say is "'soon''. Tired of waiting!!

LaPorte,Tx. | Sledgehammer, I think there is a little BS in the 16 Visions. I would doubt any dealer has recieved 16 Visons in one delivery, if they did, then "that ain't right". They may have gotten 16 Victorys in one delivery. If your close to Houston, there are a few around here. I hear they are coming. Mine is suppose to be here 1st week of December. |

Brighton, TN | MEDIC! Needed on the front line, Marine down! Gerbil also in need of nutrition. Refuel his Hog and start it for him. May have to strap him on there long enough to get his pumper going again. Oh, yeah, I don't think he can man up, he may have to ask his wife for his twig and berries back, first. Then, he might have a chance. Kick in a little super hot Java, and a Marlboro. |

Brighton, TN | Vespa, now that's funny, I would like to see that, wish I could get a Vespa to him first before his Vision arrived and get a PIC. To, only be his dealer and have him sit on it first before delivery. |

I'll pay for half the Vespa and all the cost for photos if we can pull this off.
Buckeye will be at work soon and we will get barbecued on here Poolloo (sp) |

29 Palms California | So, your going with the FRENCH thing again? Tassles anyone? That would be hillarious. I'm 6'0, 250. I would look like a circus clown, or DesrtJim on a hippity hop. Poot...I wear the pants in my family, My wife lets me wear the pants when it's not harmful to her or others in the immediate area. Have you figured out how that "slinky" thing goes down the stairs? Alone or in pairs? Low life? LOW LIFE? your right...I hope I never feel that pathetic about myself again. A kick in the change purse is what I needed. I tried the cheese grader, but it felt so good when I stopped...Vespa? is that French for alternative lifestyle? Speaking of which, whats the horn sound like on your Vision? Tell me it's not a sqeeky little tweet. Poot, I have been trying to come up with a design for us, but I can't get it. I need to have the bike. Everytime I start, I get P.O'd and have to force myself to stop trying to jab the pencil into my own eye. Fortunately I see it coming, and the right hand wrestles the pencil out of the left hand. It's a good battle, but the language! My last night on this crew! I'm going to get hammered, and run around my back yard in just a Ohio State hat! I'll try not to poop, but my dogs shouldn't be the only ones that get away with it. The weather here has been down in the 70's. brrrrrr. Bad steaking weather....One of you knuckle pounders want to take a picture from the saddle with the stinking flaps open already? I mean sheesh. I've requested this for over 2 months now! Hold on....my heart stopped from the coffee and i had to slam myself into the radars to get it going again. Good for my heart, but I think I see alien craft off the port bow. With that being said,,,,never mind. |

Brighton, TN | Look like a circus clown? I thought we were trying to improve your image not keep it the same. You know, he may actually own his own Vespa! He said, "Alternative lifestyle!" Horn, good and loud. I will wait for you inspiration, then again a Vespa may be in your future and I don't know that we could handle your inspiration at that point. If I knew what picture you were after and which flaps you are talking about, I would be glad to accommodate the Great Buckeye in the computer. A VESPA! HEHEHEHHE |

29 Palms California | ok whistle lips. the vespa is to gay for even me. I haven't done anything like that since I was tijuana. I'm still plucking feathers, and dodging invisible things when I hear bbbrrrrrraaHHH HAAAEEYYYEEEEE!
Sitting in the saddle, looking at the dash, with both the flaps open. \ tank /. Can you flip both sides at the same time? Good, I knew ya could....Baby steps poo...baby steps. Buy the way, my image can not dashed under foot. I'm already a crazy old man with the "look" of madness. Please make the bad man stop! I got your back poop. Hehehee got your back...LOL |

29 Palms California | LOL! Why you busting all up in my grill, homey? (I heard the kids say that once) As long as the tee is in a mauve...oops, I mean purple, I mean black. Whats a vespa? isn't that some kind of Tennessee thing? Here kitty kitty...I have to admit, I hate the gay jokes on me. But I know your passive aggresive, and need to explore your estrogene side. So, NO, stop sending me those personal messages of you, un clothed on a tricycle in a cowboy hat. I won't do it. again...lol. Monday should tell me if my shizzle made it to the truck as advertised.
How about those BUCKEYES! yeah, I know, we rock! We will take vengance on L.S.U. for the thrashing they gave Tennessee this week end! By the way, is the Vols QB related to Chad Henne? They both played like girly men their last game. |

29 Palms California | Between wednesday and saturday...cough, cough,,,i feel a cold coming on when delivery day hits. Then again, I have heard this story more than 4 times already. I'm trying to get happy, but the sense of gloom is still there. Once I sit my butt in the saddle, the happiness will commence. |
