Evergreen, CO | I'm jealous of you guys!! I wish I had the long riding weather like you do. There was snow today about 1000' elevation higher than where we live, or about 30 miles on I-70.......No complaining, just wishing for a longer riding season |

Better than new for sure.. no current issues with Vision or Victory.
I have no idea why there are so many issues out there on these bikes..
Maybe I am just lucky or I solve my own problems....  |

New Bohemia, VA | devilboy - 2008-06-11 10:36 PM varyder - 2008-06-11 7:52 PM ...and counting.... same here!! Broke 15K on the way back from SE meet in Helen GA... This is the kind of competition I like. I've got a least one 3,200 mile roundtrip planned this summer on top of the 2k+ per month average I'm doing already. I see pushing or exceeding 25k my first year, and that is just normal riding.  As for how is she is holding up, great! I had the stalling issue when I first got 'er. And I have the occasional squeaky belt, but it's not a problem. This is my first V-twin and belt drive, so it has been a matter of getting use to. But it seems the more miles, the better it runs. I'm ready for my new rear tire NOW! But it still has tread. I've got to get my 15,000 done hopefully next week. I really hate being down. I was driving, with the wife, in her Liberty and our friends were wondering if something was wrong with the bike since I normally ride all the time. |

Salisbury, NC | I'm at 15847. The Vision has been parked since Sunday. The other bikes were calling out for me to ride them. Still need to install the plate & VFC. I will hopefully do that this weekend. ET |

Scottsdale AZ | I'm chasing and might catch up?? 14,7xx and leaving next Wednesday for a 5-6 day trip. It just gets better every day. The wife even can hardly wait to jump on the perch and co-pilot us on the roads. We are headed to the Victory Freedom Rally in Moab UT. Any of you pilots have that on your ride schedule? |

Salisbury, NC | Well the plate & VFC are installed. Just running down the street, it made a big difference. Well I guess it's time to take a little stroll and see how she runs. Later, ET |

Salisbury, NC | I'm back from the shakedown run. The VFC is still at whatever setting it has from Lloyds. The throttle plate does have a little noise to it. And yes it is worth the install. Bike runs great. And turned 16047 coming down the driveway. ET |
