It was 84 degrees today, went for a nice 100 mile ride today, got home at 5:30 and it was still 73. Saw about 5 other Victorys today too.

No worries, it was a comfortable 34F in the Moline, IL on 10 Dec. I was able to get a good hour ride in on the ole Vision before the evening settled in and the wintery storms came rolling through and heavy salting starts. Nothing like being surrounded by a nice blanket of snow from a week ago while tooling along on clear roads. Despite my ride, I may not hate you but I am jealous. I'll roll her out any chance I get so long as the roads are dry and the salt is minimal. Ride on, Ride safe.

Pretty chilly in Simi Valley. Toured around Hemet, Ca. For 2 hrs. today and it hit 91?, then went out to LA where it dipped down to a brisk 64? @ 8pm.
It's nice being able to keep the blade windshield on all year long.

What? Some of you don't ride because of the snow? No 'hating So Cal' where I live..... we ride anytime it ain't raining (which it does TOO often)

Cometman,

Did you by any chance ride down Las Posas Rd. coming back from PCH around noon or 1 oclock? Saw two Visions myself while the waife and I enjoyed a ride down to Paradise Cove in Malibu for a late lunch. We also saw two Visions that day one on Las Posas and the other one a Vision Street riding North along PCH. Either way it was a beautiful day for riding along the coast. We should get together for a ride someday, email me at PCNova54@yahoo.com
Peace,

Always looking for someone to ride with. I'm have knee surgery next week and may be off the bike a few weeks.

Be glad you're not here in the summer when it hits 112 and it feels like your riding in a convection oven.

 

 I kinda wish it was colder here. . .

Temp is no issue. 5.3" of rain in 30 hours can be. So, unlike all these other guys, I hate you.

But not Nozzle. 97 in December is just wrong, and a buck twelve is too hot I don't care when it is! LOL

PCNova,

Yup quite possible it was us that you saw. Rode up PCH from Santa Monica to Pt Mugu. We stopped at Neptunes for a bit and after meeting up with Tim in Simi we ventured out to Ojai and saw one person on a Skull XC and another two up on a Vision while having pizza at Boccalis. Great day for a ride tons of bikes out..

Watch the Rose Parade on New Years day, It will be clear and sunny and you will see the Mountain range in the backgroud that is part of our riding playground.

27 degrees this morning in Northeast Florida. This Florida boy can't quite take it that cold. I am still tempted to try it though.

JSP,

Sounds like you have a great playground, would love to check out those mountains sommetimes, I'm guessing the roads are nice? Will PM you and cometman and see if we can't get together soon to check it out, maybe after the holidays, granddaughters keep me busy, and loving it.

I grew up in Redondo Beach, and I must say, I don't miss Southern Cal a bit; I mean, what do you guys have that we don't here in Salt Lake City?! So - you saw a couple of other Vic Visions out on the road - Even though it was snowing here and I couldn't ride, I saw several handsomely dressed polygamist women. And just think, it is just that many more miles that I will get to put on my bike when yours is worn out. So there, dude; you ain't so cool

In the 50"s in Jax today. Got a ride in. It's been too cold last couple of days.

When it gets below 40 I take the bus:



No heat but it's out of the wind.

We were riding 2 up on the Midnight Cherry Vision heading East from PCH @ noon on Sunday when we passed a Black Vision with 2 up riders.  I didn't recognize who it was.

We also got our picture taken on by the RockStore photographer on the Snake.

Who was on the Black Vision.  Jed has a Vision and his wife has a Cross-Country, but they may have been riding 2 up.

The 20 -25 mph wind kept me off the bike Monday, but I set a new low temp (23) record on my ride to work Tuesday. Today was warmer 29 just glad this ain't normal for South GA.

More like 3 times the HP ! I had a 1971 Bus for 21 years, 3 engines and countless parties with up to 21 guests.
