Tucson , AZ | It seems like alot of Victory owners are on the east coast????
I live in Az. Kinda central.... It seems that alot of events for Vics are towards the east also, Not knocking if you from the east coast, just curious where the majority is.
I have not even heard of a big Victory event on this side of the country. Just wondering why?? |

Memphis | Hey Mike, Arizona is kind of central? Tucson is 45 minutes from Mexico and 8 hours from San Diego! (I grew up there.  ) Kansas is central. Victory is mostly northeast because 1) that's where the most people live, 2) that's where Polaris sells the most snowmobiles so the name recognition has been around a lot longer. The farthest north I have ever lived was Virginia Beach and I have never seen a snowmobile in real life. (I hear they are really fun.) Polaris/Victory was totally foreign to me before I looked at the Vision. |

Snow mobiles are killer.. what a blast. Dangerous ... but what isnt now days. Anything in the snow will ge alot of fun. We need a show on the west coast. |

Scottsdale AZ | From the VMC Forum --- August 4th-7th Prescott AZ
Last year about this time we were finally able to relax after all the work for the National Meet. This year I am sure Chuck and his group felt the same pressures. It is a big undertaking but the satisfaction of watching friends old and new enjoy themselves at an event you helped put on is something you have to take part in to truly understand. It is a very rewarding experience and I would encourage everyone to do it. To date this year we have had inquiries about the 2011 National Meet from only one group. The Prescott Victory Riders began working on their proposal early this year and continue to work on it. Last month I received an e-mail from Frank ?Jetsn? Gary stating the resort they had planned on using in the proposal for next year?s meet was in jeopardy because another group was also seeking to reserve the resort for that same weekend. If they wanted to keep the resort, he was going to have to sign a contract. If they lost the resort, there was no other viable option and they would not be able to continue working on nor submit a proposal. After consideration of the fact that there have been no other inquiries, the South West Region has not previously hosted a National Meet and the possibility that there may not be another proposal submitted for next year I approached the BOD. We have guidelines for the submission of National Meet proposals, I know, I wrote them last year and my request was going to be well outside those guidelines. The response from the board was unanimous and the Events Committee agrees, the National Meet for 2011 should be awarded to the Prescott Victory Riders. I know it?s early but they have an excellent venue with a lot of good riding and many interesting attractions. They have a great group working on this already and it is over a year in advance. If anyone was thinking of or working on a submittal for 2011 please contact me and we can discuss what can be done for 2012 (10th anniversary of the VMC) or beyond. We will provide more details later but here is a brief description from Frank??
?We will be hosting the meet at the Prescott Resort which has a convention area, casino, two restaurants, and all 161 rooms are reserved for the VMC. Rooms will be around $70 a night (normally around $110). The resort sets atop a hill with great views overlooking the valley. The Prescott Victory Riders will be hosting the event August 4th thru the 7th, 2011. Prescott is 90 miles northeast of Phoenix and 100 miles southwest of Flagstaff. The weather is fairly moderate year round with tolerable heat (90 daytime / 70 night and low humidity) and moderate snowfall. It is one of the premier retirement areas in the US. It is also the home of Prescott Valley Motorcycles which is a large fully equipped dealership and a co-sponsor of the 2011 VMC meet. Many feel it is the top dealership in Arizona. Prescott has a rich history of the old west and was the first capitol of Arizona. Virgil Earp was the Prescott Town Marshall when Doc Holliday persuaded him to join him to meet the rest of the Earp brothers in Tombstone. Whiskey Row and its 1800 era bars and shops is a popular tourist stop and a favorite motorcycle run in the summer months. Popular summer rides from Prescott are the mining town of Jerome, with over 100 twisties through wooded scenery, Sedona, which is one of the most beautiful scenic areas in the nation, Flagstaff, with 70 degree summer temps and beautiful woods and its close proximity to the Grand Canyon. Northern Arizona is a biker?s paradise.?
Hope to see you all there next summer.

Jim

According to my dealer and the regional rep. the east coast has the majority of bikes sold. |

mansfield, MA United States | Jim we had a blast hosting the national VMC rally last year. I wish I could go this year but it's a little far even for a Vision rider. I do know we have 2 Visions from the Ma bay victory riders planning on going. The rally was a lot of work but even more fun. I wish you luck and let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Northeast Ohio | Mike, I am in Northeast Ohio, about 35 miles southeast of Cleveland in a suburb. I tell you what, I will trade you where I live AND give you my ex-wife as a bonus!  I am envious of riders south of me as you guys can ride all year. I have about another month before the snow flies here.  |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | Now that Victorys are selling on 3 different continents, Vision-Riders is getting members from all of them. Welcome aboard! There is a big contingent from Australia that have taken up residence and formed several groups on Victory-Riders.com. We may have to put together several Victory/Vision-Rider sponsored rides to bring everyone together. |

YYYYYeah... i dont think so.. i got an ex wife in Maui . Trust me one is more that enough. When she wakes up and puts her feet on the ground... the Devil snaps his head around and says" Holy crap shes awake".
On a brighter note i do love snow. Snowmobiles are a blast... skiing too. we do have year around riding.. this is the first morning that i can say its a little chili outside. 52%.
