Victory memories and accomplishments. Each one has a story.

I don't really wear it. Just a good place to save them.

Nice.

How did you attach the patches, stitching or some kind of adhesive?

Rollin - I know it doesn't matter to you - but for many of us - that is one impressive vest!

Thanks Wolff!

It does mean a lot to me. Each pin and patch has a story, kind of like looking at a picture and reliving the moment.

Thank you!

This is my Victory vest. Everything on this vest (except the helicopter ride ) was completed on a Victory.

Over 77,000 miles on 3 Victory's. All 50 states. 11 Iron Butt certifications and 23,823 of the miles ridden "on the clock" during IBA rides.

I'm hoping to add a few more before I retire from the timed rides.

All of the patches are sewn on.

One more for the vest.

This was accomplished during the 49 state ride in 2010 on a Kingpin. I finally took the time to get it certified.

Doing the paperwork was almost as challenging as the ride. It was worth it.

Thank you! I can't wait to try the ride to Alaska!!

Mike Dapper is a big fan of the Iron Butt rides. He has done two, including one on a High Ball! Mike also was able to locate a Victory in Hawaii so that I could ride a Victory in all 50 states. I had sent an email to the Victory Mail Bag and said I was going to ride a Victory in 49 states and I would like to make it 50. My favorite part is he believed I was going to do it, sometimes more than me.

Thank you and that's my favorite part. Every pin and patch was a ride done on a Victory. For me, getting to be the first adds a lot.

That's why I've never sent my stuff in for any rides.
