Since many have said that you sit in a Vision rather then on top, the term Vision Pilot has been used often here.

From that I guess that a group (3 or more) could be:

From the birding world

A Flight of Visions - used for doves
A Cast of Visions - used for Hawks and Falcons
A Parliament of Visions - used for owls
A Party of Visions - used for jays
A Spring of Visions - used for teals
A Trip of Visions - used for dotterel (A type of plover)
A Watch of Visions - used for Nightingales (I like the way that sounds!)


From another point of view...

A Dream of Visions - Another favorite of mine
A Sight of Visions
A Look of Visions
A View of Visions

A Fuel of Visions - from the new catch phrase


Taken from the Air Force

A Flight of Visions - two or more Visions
A Squadron of Visions - two or more Flights - at least 4+ Visions
A Group of Visions - two or more Squadrons - at least 8+ Visions
A Wing of Visions - two or more Groups - at least 16+ Visions

the Airforce take while riding. the birding world while attending rallies, troughing, or hanging out... this would apply more to the riders verses the machines that are parked on the tarmac or flight line...

And when I sleep, well, you know...

Wow, have they built enough of them that we get our own collective noun? Lets Play!

How about:

A Singularity of Visions

A Wedge of Visions

A Doubletake of Visions

An Astonishment of Visions

An Apparition Of Visions

as contrasted by: A Passel o'Harleys (we have to give the other guys one).

If I ever see more than a Singularity of Visions ( me only ) - I will consider it to be a Dream of Visions.

In the two plus years I have been looking into and then finally owning a Vision I've never seen more than one at any given location except maybe a dealer. I've only seen one on the road since they came out. I would have to say seeing a group of say 3 or more would be a "miracle of visions" or perhaps a "phenomenon of Visions". ;-) Hopefully this will change with time.

How about an "Armada of Visions"?

rwilly, My Vision is so comfortable and rides so sweet that I just cannot think of it as sinister.

hoosiervic, It was a miracle, phenomenon and it made a Scene when four get together! Quite a people magnet!

Kevinx, that maybe right. You have seen more groups of 3 and 4 Visions then anyone else!!!



donetracey, Here is what a "Dream of Visions" looked like in April of 2009, the only time I ever saw four Visions together at one time in the wild.

How about a "Clutch of Visions" - kind of pulls in the Bike thing and the bird thing. This would probably be 2 to 5 visions at once.

"Clutch" seems a great word to describe a group of bikes in crates getting ready to be shipped from the factory.

Hey Barney, check out the size of that clutch. They must be meeting production quotas today.

LOL I love it.

NOT Star Fleet - that would be Yamaha

BUT - a Vision Starfleet (one word) or Starfleet of Visions ... I like!

Definition: Starfleet was the deep-space exploratory and military service maintained by the United Victory Federation of Planets. Described as a "peacekeeping and humanitarian armada of Visionaries", its principal functions included the advancement of Victory Federation knowledge about the galaxy and its inhabitants, the advancement of Victory Federation science and technology, the military defense of the Victory Federation, and the practice of Visionary Federation diplomacy.

As per its mandate of deep-space exploration, its personnel were frequently brought into contact with cultures and sentient species (Harley Riders) whose existences were unknown to the Federation. Starfleet Vision Pilots therefore acted as official representatives of the Victory Federation in these cases. Starfleet vessels were also frequently used to ferry ambassadors (female) on diplomatic missions.

I knew Star Fleet sounded too Yamaha but I knew Cometman would like it.  Also, too many guys here who just can't get into the Trekkie stuff.

How about this:  ViRiLe - Vision Riders Legion.  It could be a pretty cool t-shirt for a bunch of old farts who don't back down to anybody.

It could be 50's, 60's or 70's. 

We could have a big blue Viagra pill with a red circle/slash through it.  We could have a sexy spokesmodel named Alice straddling a Vision.  See Alice?  (Think about that one.)  Not that I'm there yet, but you never know.  Victory had a certain demographic in mind with the Vision and I think we could have fun with it.

With all the references to space-age similarities, one thing comes to mind for me. If a group of visions in one place has a galactic connotation to it, then the much larger group of harleys staring at them in total dismay would in my mind be a "galactic nebula" that seems to follow visions wherever they go. HA!!!

Since we all or at least I think we all ride a Vision, I know from my own experience having owned two different Vision's the only thing that I can say a proper name for one or more Vision's is "EYE CANDY". If you haven't noticed when you stop everyone looks at your bike and pays little attention to the others around you unless they are riding a Vision as well.
