South of Houston Tx | I must be to old and way to married for this motorcycle. Yesterday a sweet young thing in the BMW convertible pulled up next to me as I was leaving from a fuel up and shouted "that passenger seat sure looks comfortable". Now in my younger less married day's, without a thought, I would have responded with something to the effect of "Why don't you park that thing your in and you can hop on and test it out for me", instead I said " My wife thinks so, and this front seat is comfy too"!!! |

San Antonio, Texas | At first, I laughed about this.......then, I realized that would probably be my response, too! Too old and too married, indeed! |

Sugar Land, TX (Outside of Houston) | OK - I would probably have bitten and said "Why don't you come for a spin and find out". Then I would have absolutely soiled my drawers if she took me up on it. Mainly because my Fiancee' would have gotten off of her bike, walked over and kicked mine over onto it's Anti-Tipping Pegs.

, FL United States | Yep , my response would have been the same. My S.O. & I have been together for 14 years (lived together for 5 but it didn't work out) & I wouldn't want to do ANYTHING to screw that up. Remeber guys - "Happy wife, happy life"  |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Well, my new wife (25 years younger) LOVES to ride, so I sure don't encourage her to give me a beating for chatting up babes in convertibles. I just smile and acknowledge the complement. (yes, it has happened to me, too - Hoorah for my Vision!)
Right on the mark, CoolHandLuke! |

| Enjoy the compliment. You must not be that old! Tell your wife. She'll probably laugh about it, and be a little bit proud that her husband still gets some looks from the ladies. |

Pittsburgh, PA | Something else i noticed about this bike is.... I noticed it catches the eye of not just bikers. I have had some people in very highend cars come up to me out of the blue while im wearing leather and old blue jeans And say very nice things about the Vision. They want to know all about it! Im shocked as never before had i ever caught the eye of these type of people... In the past in was "damn dirty bikers" that wanted to talk to me about my bike. Now its people in suits. lol |

| collects morons too. had a guy stop me in a parking lot and say "nice bike. how heavy is it?" i said a little under 900 #s. he said what keeps it from falling over? i said the kickstand and the two big gyroscopes on the front and rear. he said "no kidding. really?" not really too bad until i tell you he was pushing a competition bicycle. maybe he was pushing it because he didn't know what kept it from falling over. |

South of Houston Tx |  I've met a lot of folks with high end cars that I could classify as morons too, who knows, maybe Mr. gyroscope has a Mercedes parked in his garage so he can prop the bicycle up against it to keep it from falling over! |

VA | It depends on who it is that was asking. I've already told my wife that if Kate Beckinsale propositions me that I will have to take her up on it and brag to my wife about it later. But, probably not some random cute chick. I might not mention immediately that I was married, but it'd come up. |

Plainfield Illinois | OR, it coulda been a female impersonator. How'd ya like to have one of those sittin behind ya on yer Vision, arms wrapped around ya and all....
She have a husky voice? It'd be a nightmare to "pick something up along the road" only to find out later that she/he/it bench presses E-glides. A Viagra commercial gone bad. |

My Fiancee - But she just sold her BMW for a Mercedes. And I should receive some Love Time for giving her up as a Hot Young Chick.
