Kerrville Texas ( now a homeowner on six acres) | Age 63 !!!! Had a kawasake 120 in late 1967 & 68. (bout killed myself on it ) Was a Marine just back from Vietnam after 19 1/2 months. Baught a yamaha 650 special (81 model) in 1988.Kept it until we purchased a Victory Kingpin in March of 2005 as I came off of active duty with the Army National Guard.(my wife baught it for me) Had 28,900 miles on it when we traded it for the 2008 Vision (black tour premium) . Retired from the army Ntl. Grd in 2005 after 25 years. Now Completely retired and as of today, have 19,500 miles on it. Best transportation a person can have.
If you really want to see the country and "feel " the country and "smell" the country there is no beter way to do it than on a VISION.

New Bohemia, VA | We have a radio station here in Richmond called K95, and their little jingle is that as the best that is the reason Richmond spells country K95. My wife says that it sounds like they say that is why Richmond smells country, which we do have a fine sewage treatment plant right on the southside of as you come up I-95 Richmond that is rather ripe in 80 degree weather and smells worse than country. But, yes there is no better way to see the country and the smells. I can go down a back road and tell you what folk are having for supper, who's drying the clothes, in a dryer and on the line, if they cut the grass recently, or mulched the plants, or have tomatoes in the garden. Riding puts another dimension to life that few will ever know. |

Brighton, TN | Couldn't agree more. A good fired up skunk, to make you wonder why your riding a bike, but when you think about it you'd have the same smell in a car. A good ol fashioned cattle farm which takes me back to my youth. Or the smell of Barbecue which makes my right foot and hand start to press on the brake to pull over. A good pecan pie is always worth pulling over and smelling (tasting)!
I have realized for quite a few years why dogs stick their head out the window, It has to be like a drug, just pushing every kind of smell through a super sniffer at 60mph. What a rush! I do the same thing! |
