Hi to all,

Just rode my new Vision home to NJ from Raleigh NC. 9 hrs of nothin but smilin

funny story how I ended up buyin one in Raleigh. Went to get a bite to eat with my father in law and the the place ends up being a Victory dealer attached to a burger/beverage joint ! The rest is history as they say!!

Went down to the dealer in NJ (rollin fast, great guys) already startin the mods !! met some nice people there who told me about this site.

Glad to hear there are Visions in NJ! (And I guess you can read into that what you want!!!)
Actually, NJ is one of the states we most frequently visit; indeed, I got engaged at Arthur's Landing there (which, so sadly has now closed due to the recession). Maybe next time over we'll hire a Vision there...

Welcome aboard. Great choice and I know that you'll love your bike. Now get ready for all of the questions at the gas stations.

Okay, let the questions begin?

Color? Maybe Midnight Cherry? and did you return via I-95?

We have a Vic dealer just south of Richmond on RT 10, Catlin's. Also, there are several riders here in this area as well, so give us a shout the next time you blow through.

Thanks for the replies!!

color is gloss black, my return trip was via 95 most of the way.

I am already experiencing the Vision phenomena (sp). last weekend I had 2 people follow me into parking lots, get out of there cars and start with "What is that!!?". Every gas station attendant asked "what kind of bike is this?". I'm at 1700 miles and lovin it

At my next service (2500) I'm gonna give her (Bell is her name) a little more voice with a set of Lloydz (sp) pipes and carb kit, maybe a little more chrome.......

safe riding to all

Awesome that you got a Vision. Good choice. Now ride her like you stole her and she will show you what she can really do in corners. Enjoy your new ride and welcome to our little spot on the net.
