Henlow, Bedfordshire, England |
In 2009 I bought a Cherry Vision which I loved but it didnt stop there. I had a stage 1 done then I joined some forums and started reading about all the nice parts I could get for it.
It started with a lovely dipstick from Mastiff, imported and fitted. I didnt need it but it looks good.
Then the latest SatNav. I didnt need it but it looks good.
The obligatory Ipod cable. I didnt need it but it looks good.
Lovely trunk and side bags on the bike, ooh they do liners for them and a carpet. I didnt need them but they look good.
I read about highway pegs, talked to the dealer and before I knew it had them on the bike. I didnt need them but they look good.
2 years down the line and Victory announce new transmissions. I order a 2011 Vision (with stage 1 of course). I didnt need it but it looks good.
Next came Mr WIzard exhaust tips. I didnt need them but they look particularly good.
Those reviews about Clearwater lights cost me a packet. I didnt need them but they look good.
I read about a driver backrest, they have one in the UK by chance and I could have a discount. I didnt need it but it looks good.
And just the other day I saw the cupholder, check out the RAM website, they have a base here in the UK and also do a nice waterproof phone case so I can use the mirror holes on both sides. I didnt need them but they look good.
Yes I am hopelessly addicted and regularly stand up at meetings to admit it.
Anyway, enough of that and back to my problem, my 2 favourite programs are on TV next week at the same time, should I watch the reality show and record the detective program or the other way round?

New Bohemia, Va | I thought you were going to tell us your wife wanted a romantic on the same weekend you were going to do service on your Vision...
Reality shows are not reality and they are stupid - the reality goes away as soon as they know the camera is there, watch real acting with the detective show and record it so you can watch it over again.
Nice ride!

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | How do you find the time to watch TV when you are obviously an Ogler of Vision? And therefore your question has no merit since you will watch neither show, and instead be searching for more Vision. Give it up, Son. You are a Lost Soul ....

Houston, Tx | Hahahahaha.... have the same problem, to many items to add. But since you've opened up the door... mind me asking a couple questions about your add-ons?
(1) How tall are you, inseam length? Wondering if the Hwy pegs would really do me any benefit. I'm 5'10 with a 32" inseam.
(2) Any issues with installing the Wizard tips? What did you have before and do they change the tone any? I'm currently running Honker slip-ons with Gatlin tips.
Thanks! |

NO chrome mirror trim
I have the Chrome Mirror Trim......I hate it. To many rides to work and back home with the sun shining off the chrome mirror trim. Some day I will remove it....if I can figure out how without messing up the original mirror housing edge.
Ride Safe |

DeRidder, LA | I have so many items bookmarked that I HAVE TO HAVE but don't want to charge so will wait. However, those chrome shift pegs, been trolling for those today with not much luck. Doesn't have to be anything in particular, just something that won't make this black mark on these pretty tan boots the Army has us wearing. If anyone has a link would be appreciated. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | And people say there aren't enough options for our 2 wheeled obsession! yer bike is lookin' sweet!
What's on for cop TV there? My local Public Broadcasting Station runs 'New Tricks' most Saturday nights, I'm a dedicated Dr. fan since Tom Baker, and I'm mad that the new TORCHWOOD was put on a premium cable network rather than BBCA. |

Ahh, new tricks is great and they have just started a new series. Dr Who is a must, you must be slightly younger than me as my first Dr was Jon Pertwee but really liked the scarf wearing Tom Baker

Ohhhh Noooo.
(1) How tall are you, inseam length? Wondering if the Hwy pegs would really do me any benefit. I'm 5'10 with a 32" inseam.
(2) Any issues with installing the Wizard tips? What did you have before and do they change the tone any? I'm currently running Honker slip-ons with Gatlin tips.
(1) 6'2" 33 inseam and no issues except you do have to spread your legs out wide, the benefiton airflow is terrific though
(2) the Wizard tips are straight replacements up to 2011, with 2011 the black inserts on stage 1 pipes are welded so you need to break the welds first but no problem really.
Songfan, everyone knows you are in the club but I'm guessing we all are or wouldn't be on this forum anyway
