New Bohemia, VA | Mick, welcome aboard, the board. I hope you enjoy your ride and would like to hear you share your experience. I use to be very active on this board, but many of those who I enjoyed bantering with have apparently gone off to other things. Mostly the board became a debate for oil and tires, just like many other forums become. You will still find useful maintenance tips and discussion, so don't be afraid to throw a post out there looking for information or just to discuss something. Others will say many have gone to Facebook, but there again, many of the threads I find on Facebook is talking about oil and tires, car tires that is, a very boring subject to many. There are a lot of good people here that will give an honest answer to many of the questions you might have, will encourage you in trouble, and share in your Victory! |

Perry Hall, MD | Hey Mick, welcome to the Victory family. I saw that you already found the Hammer Riders site. Enjoy the new bike, and if I can, I would suggest that one day you also treat yourself to another kind of riding experience on a Vision.

| G'day brothers ( sisters too, so they don't feel left out) If you haven't guessed I'm form OZ  Our Sydney dealer has a saying to every potential customer that walks through the door. It is, Ride one and you'll own one. Well I took that as a challenge and needless to say within a week I had sold my beloved GSX1400 and was picking up the most AWESOME bike on God's creation. It is a 2014 Hammer S LE No:010 in pearl white and matte black. I have just put a set of Freedom Performance pipes on and a Hi flow filter. Thanks guys for the forum. |

Lsibon Falls, ME United States | Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum but not Victory. I just picked up a 2011 Cross Country to replace my 03 V92 Deluxe. I have not ridden it much so the anxiety is already there for Spring to get here. Gonna be about 8 weeks till I get to ride again unless I get lucky. |

| Just joined up after buying a "new" 2012 Victory Vision Tour w/640 miles on the clock. So far 2100 miles and I am very impressed with this bike after owning almost everything else since 1958 when I began riding. Hope to get lots of trouble free miles and smiles out of this unit. |

Watauga, TX United States | Good Morning,
Retired US Navy ETC(SW). Westcoast Sailor. Gators, Carriers and Detroyers.
Proud owner of a used 2009 midnight cherry Vision Tour w 24k miles in October, well 30k now  .
I have already upgraded my air filter and added a top filter.
Further mods for this weekend include WD slip on mufflers and a Weisco FMC.
I love the riding season (11 months/year) here in N. Fort Worth,Texas. I ride everyday as long there is no ice.
I ride to ride, no destination, as long as the wife tells me to get out of the house.
Have seen a few Victorys in the area. Mostly XC but meh I am not one to judge. :P
Keep frosty and out of the port or starboard quarters of those Accords. Because he/she is on the phone and cant check her mirrors!!!

, DE United States | Glad to be here, I've already learned a few things in just a few days of perusing the posts. I pick up a new 2016 Vision in blue, on Friday, 12May from the Victory dealer in Metuchen, NJ. Great deal and they seem like nice folks to work with, so far. Riding the "Uncle Joe" express up there (Amtrak) to be able to ride it home. Anyway, I read the break-in posts, so I'll vary the speed and take side roads once I make it back into DE.
I will try to post a photo once I get a chance to do so. Bob

Mossyrock, WA | New Vision owner here. Recently purchased a 2009 Alen Ness #119. The original owner took off the original body panels and seat and purchased the solid black ones when the bike was new a trunk and a Corbin seat which I received in the purchase. Never considered a Victory before mush less a Vision, but something about the solid black grabbed me. Been riding for fourth years and have sport bikes, dirt bikes, dualsport bikes and adventure bikes; but never had a cruiser before.
I went to a Harley demo day 2 years ago and rode 2 Road Glides with and without the tour pack. All I thought was what a evil handling pig.
So over the the last year I have been riding with some guys at work who have Harley's while I have been riding my Yamaha Super Tenere. Have to admit those guy went down a few dirt roads with me including going through a foot deep water crossing; ok it was a two track trail with water a foot deep for about a half mile.
So I started looking at bikes and read some reviews about Visions, and found a used on at a dealer where I could test ride one. I was not intending to buy it, I just wanted to see how they rode. Well I bought it. Even with crap tires, I was shocked one how it handled.
Anyhow been surfing around here, downloaded a few things and have been reading up. Modes the mufflers with the Magnaflows, ordered new tires and scored a set of factory heated grips from eBay. Now just waiting for the snow to leave to do some riding.
John

Florissant, MO United States | Not a new member but this is one of the sites I forget about referencing especially since it isn't very mobile friendly and my eyes don't work so good. Anyway, looking around on the computer at work, SHHHH DONT TELL NOBODY! Leading the V2V across Missouri this year. Hopefully there are members here that we may see on the ride. EYROYS |
