Coastal , NJ | I know you probably opened up this thread with sweat pouring off your face in panic. So let me elaborate quickly.
I was working in the garage on friday and had the Vision out in the driveway all day. Leaves were falling...pine needles etc. Sunday morning I take her out to go get the paper. I pull into the 7-11 about 2 miles from my house and smell that leaf burning smell and WOW it's like I'm right on top of it....I AM! A couple leaves fell between the right side pipe/crossover area just rear of the floorboards. I didn't really notice them till they were on fire...so I figured I'd remind everyone to take a second look after having their bikes parked under falling leaves. Lotta places for them to fall in the Vision - double check the hot spots. I grabbed a pencil I had in my trunk and just pushed them off of the hot pipe onto the pavement, but it woulda sucked if I parked over a few more dry leaves. Anyway, something I would have never thought of, but thought I'd share.... |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | Mark, next time, be sure to carry some shrimp to put on your Vision bar-bie! Glad nothing else burnt.
When are you gonna get the frozen margarita blender attachment that works off the primary gear?

Brighton, TN | I'm just looking for hot dogs, graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate and its' time to eat. Nothing like the smell of a Burnt' Vision early in the morning. Maybe they make that a new option and throw in the leaves. Glad to see you found it before it went poof. On the flip side you could say you were the first one to Burn one to the Ground! Positive thinking. |

29 Palms California | Dude, thank God your sac didn't catch fire! Nothing like roasting your twig and berries. I've only done that once, back in college, as an experiment. Miles, you forgot to add the indian (7/11 not Casino) accent. Pollolittle (chicken little), smoke a vision? are you refering to the reafers? After my first ride on my vision, I'm smoking a Marlboro and asking her if it was good for her too. |

Brighton, TN | You said "my vision". Do Tell? Last I heard you no Vision. After my first ride on "my vision", I almost broke out the whiskey (Brandy for you other fellas), and some great big ole fat stogie and start reminescing. |

29 Palms California | My dealer said it's only a matter of time....now, hasn't that been the case since I ordered my bike!?!. I'm getting a bottle of Jack, and running a cigar up this things tail pipe (alla Monica Lewensky) when I get her home! I'll make sure nothing gets on my riding jacket. I'm a broken man..... I think I'm going to put my daughters skateboard helmet on and go lick some glass. Thats what I did on "the short bus" back in school. Go long, Hit me, I'm open...ever try chain smoking? You do it with an arc welder. Dang that java rocks the house. I'm going to drink a Budweiser or 12 when I get home today. My neighbors probably think I'm wierd, but I get drunk by 0800 and run around my yard in my skivvies and combat boots yelling,,,IN COMING! then i poop on the dirt and kick like a bull. Do you think thats wierd? I think I just lost vision in my right eye. Nope, It's all good. I have tomorrow off! I'm going to come in anyways, wearing a tie with flip flops and shorts. How come my butt itches? Ahhhh, helppppp, I'm pathetic! Don't make eye contact with him, look away. |
