Henlow, Bedfordshire, England | It is the London motorcycle show this weekend Fri-Sun and although the weather was somewhat wet and windy I pootled along on my Vision. Polaris had their normal showing with Victory and Indian on the same stand but what caught my eye was a special Vision they have donated to charity and are raffling off with only 4000 tickets available so I gave it a go and will keep my fingers crossed, thought you might like some photos of the paint job.

Perry Hall, MD | Both sweet - best wishes on having your ticket pulled!
The graphics raise a couple of questions. I'm having a little trouble finding route 66 continuing any further east than Chicago. Not sure how it ended up sharing the same canvas as the Union Jack. Was there enough detail to see what bike is shown on the battlefield on the left saddlebag? Would be interesting to know if it is a Victory. |

Henlow, Bedfordshire, England | Haven't you heard Lenny? They built an underground tunnel all the way through to the UK 
The bike is being raffled for Bike Tours for the Wounded. Bike Tours for the Wounded is a voluntary "Not for Profit" organisation with the aim of raising money, support and awareness to be in a position to fund 52 FREE places on a motorcycle tour (as a pillion passenger) in the US (Route 66) for our serving and veteran, wounded, injured and sick members of our British Armed Forces with "Life changing injuries".

As for the bike not certain, I have a slightly better picture but doesn't look like a Freedom engine..
