Well what can I say I had a dream and now my dream has come true. yes a 2010 ocean blue and sandstone is mine! now no disrespect intended but I did set my heart on a white one but the the price was so good. she is a demonstrator with 900 miles on the clock. I paid 22,108 dollars The new price over here is $27,637. so off came the blue painted parts then off to the painters also the seat is being recovered in tan leather. Sorry to go on so but Im so excited. this site is brill and the members also.

I hope you had some spare time before you bought your Vision, because they are demanding. It's less go ride all the time and believe me you will go ride more on a Vision. Can't wait to see the pictures!

bubba 46 - well done on the buy, whereabouts are you?hope to see you around sometime when it gets above freezing again.

rainryder - because the visions come in on SVA (single vehicle approval) the bikes are us spec so the handle bars are on the same side, what is a nuisance is having to ride on the right hand side of the road - all the other drivers find it annoying....... ;-)

THANKYOU ALL for the welcome.LIANDRA the bike's naked at the moment having the paint work done.Also waiting for the leather sample's to arrive so I can chose the shade for the seat.when I put her back together here's hoping, I will sent the pic's. must say the bike I THINK is very well designed as far as the body part's REMOVLE go's.Did it WITH JUST THE BIKE KIT socket wrench, and two sockets.Yes I know I haven't put her back together. BUT with the kindness of someone putting on line the workshop manual' a cup of tea and some patients Ithink it will be ok.

Look for something titled, "HM Victory Dealer" ...that would be my guess...

sdvic (Ken) - hope you are enjoying chaotic london but I think you are going to be out of luck. Some deal with Victory (I really dont understand it) means there are no UK dealer tees or clothing, we only get US clothing so you would end up paying a lot more for stuff you have in US. There are no dealers in London itself, they are in counties surrounding.

Don't know if its any help or what you may be looking for but there is a small Motorcycle workshop in Camden called Victory Motorcycles (they have been there many years) who do a range of tees that are very nice, may be something different for you? If so they are a little difficult to find (down an alley at the road number they are located) - they specialise in classic motorcycles and it is an experience visiting them

whereabouts are you staying? hope you are having a good time and you dont plan on going home before Christmas!
