20 miles west of Chicago. | Welcome! How far northwest are you? Might think about this site: http://www.illinoisvictoryriders.com/
Hope to run into you when this weather breaks. Some of us take weekend rides northwest from the Chicago area on weekends. My beard's gray too, and I'm afraid salt and pepper would wishful thinking.

That's why we bought'em- to ride, not to look at like some others 
Yes,I ride her when she's "dirty". No time to polish everything everytime I want to get in the wind.
3111 miles a/o 01/31/08

So Cal | Last time mine got washed, mother nature did it. I put a good coat of wax on when I first got it and wipe it down with a quick detailer often. |

Las Vegas, Nevada USA baby! | Just waiting 'til tomorrow when I exchange my Vulcan Nomad that I just bought in June for Vic-Vision Tour. The ARLEN NESS dealer here in Las Vegas is the big Victory dealer of the area. They sent me off on a solo test ride for 1-1/2 hour on Groundhog day knowing that they could set the hook when I got back to their store! I love the telepathic operation of the motorcycle. I am as close to being Buck Rogers as I could have ever imagined as a child! |
