orrick, mo | I was trying to show off and leave a black mark out front of a friends house but all I did was leave a brown mark in my shorts. I'm running a car tire on back and it hooked up to the road real good. In doing so yanked the front wheel about a foot or so off the ground. Never thought I would have a problem keeping the front wheel of a Vision on the ground. |

| Mine came up once after putting on Lloyd's new ECU. Wasn't trying, just playing around. Scared the shit out of me, had my 14 year old son on the back. He LOVED it. |

New Bohemia, VA | if I hit second just right I can feel the front end come off the ground, not much but I know it does. Also, there's a good spot in a road that I travel and if I hit it at the right speed the bike goes airborne for about a half a second. Cool stuff for a big bike. |

| For those coming to the VMC Meet in August, we have a road to get Visions air bound.
Hurricane Mountain Road is a foolish little road with lots of tight corners and some amazing air.
On the North Conway side, it is very slow going with crazy corners.
On the side coming in to Maine, under hard acceleration, you get that little tire skip on some spots going up.
The second time coming down it, I was following a couple of nuts on Visions racing side by side at night.
After the third, final and longest amount of air time I backed off the throttle.
Oh yeah, road is at best one and a half lanes wide, some spots are one lane wide.
Traffic coming both ways, usually meet someone racing from the other side.
Not to mention the mountain bikers racing it, the bears, moose, deer and other furry critters you occasionally meet up with.
It's a BLAST! |
