Jacksonville, Florida | I posted a video to Youtube. It is just a camera test as I continue to work on my skills and workflow. Thougt I would throw it out in case someone is stuck in the snow and bored. The subject is of course my Vision.
Nothing to write home about, but here it is. It is available in hi-def if you have the bandwidth, but you have to let it load pretty good in advance before you can watch it.

Cold Lake Alberta Canada | Very nice, It makes a great intro to the Vision and seems to warm up a guy on this -26 C morning.
Makes the fact that I wont get to play with mine for at least 4 more months, bearable. I know that I will be watching this on a regular basis |

Jacksonville, Florida | Thanks for the kind words. What I am working on is the jitter you see in the video. Can't seem to get my workflow right so it turns out smooth. But I look at the videos at work when I can't ride, to remind me what I have to look forward to when I get off work. |

| I love the vision so much. When I see a photo or video I just have to stair for the longest of time. When I get into the truck now in the cold of winter I can only see the bottom half of the vision and I just stair. My eyes race over every inch over an over. I just love it so much. The only thing I regret is I bought a gray one. It never shows the dirt mind ya but I want more piazzas to the bike and can't figure out a good color to live in it up more.
Thanks for the video is great on a cold winter day. |

If you love being with your bike, paint it black, because then you will be wipeing it down 2-3 times a day.
I worry that I'm going to polish the paint off, but it gets dirty SO quick. |

| Nozzledog, a simple suggestion for you, "Liquid Glass." A friend suggested I use it some years back and it got me hooked so when I bought my 08VV and others were reporting soft paint issues I recommended they use this product. Simple search here will net you some additional info on its use. Suffice to say, once you have a good couple coats on your bike it becomes pretty much a hose and dry proposition to keep it clean & shining. Looked like new after two years and 40k miles, no scratches and rarely needed anything more than a rinse off. Hope this helps....... |

LaPorte,Tx. | Your hooked, out in the garage taking video of you motorcycle, you got it bad. Now I ask you, did you ever think you would have done that until the Vision came along? Isn't amazing?  |

Green Bay, WI United States | Noticed you have extra rear view mirrors. How do you like them? So far I don't have any issues with the fairing mounted but think the extra mirrors on the handlebars would not hurt anything.
Ride hard, ride fast, but above all - ride safe....

Hooked? Yep. 2 years ago went on a demo ride. Never got it out of my system. I can't get enough of this bike. It occupies all of my spare time right now. |

The rear view is much better with them. I covered it in detail in the Double Vision thread. http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=7595&posts=18&start=1

Ruskin, Fl | 1+ on the Liquid Glass. You will not believe how good the bike looks after using Liquid Glass. In between (proper) waxing I use Eagle 1 "wax as you dry" and my bike ALWAYS looks good. |

Edmond, OK 2012 Vision, 2012 Cross Country | Great video, the Pearl White is what I have in my garage as well. I was looking to see what else I can put on in via the Victory Accessories catalog and there are only 6 more that I don't already have on my 2011. The thrush glass packs do they give it a great sound? I hope you don't mind I am going to put your video on my facebook page as well. These bikes are nothing but awesome! I had a 2009 VV Black Cherry that bike was laid to rest on 9/4/10 and now new life with the 2011 VV Pearl White. |

Bay of Gigs, WA | I love the "Victory Motorcycle" on the headlight nacelle! Is that stock on the new ones, or did you have it done? Awesome!
I got some "nano wax" at Big Lots and thought I'd give it a try and was very pleasantly surprised, hardened up the finish and didn't leave fingerprints. +1 on the Wax as you Dry, too. Don't let Varyder hear about you having to wash your scoot too often or you'll be in for it! :0) LOL |

It's stock. I didn't notice it til I moved a light to the front and zoomed in. The light made it light up so i shot it. I thought it was pretty cool. |
