Simi Valley, CA | On March 14th I take delivery of a new 2009 Ice Blue Vision Premium. I can hardly wait!
I currently ride a 04 Kawasaki Nomad, and I am planning a coast to coast ride from Mexico to Canada in June!

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Well, speak up Tim! Where ya from? How old are you? What do you do to keep the wolf away? Married? Male/Female?
If you're coming to Canada - we need to know these things. Canada is big - you coming to Newfie-land? Ontario? Flat Land? Paradise? (West Coast) or maybe that other country, Keybec? |

northwest florida | Welcome to the show. Don't forget the secret handshake from the dealer. You will need it when you meet other visioneers on the road...as the newest rider here you must buy first round when 2 or more visions are gathered together. Also start looking for the nearest 12 step CA (Chrome Anonymous) meeting but maybe you are stronger than others on here.LOL. |

Just remember Blue is the fastest color.
That is just a perception because the Black's Silver's and Red's are so far ahead as to not be seen. 
Welcome enjoy your new ride

guelph ontario | Will be getting mine March 25-I wonder if there are any stats of how many of each colour of the Visions were sold. Grey has been dropped for 09 -I guess it was not as fast as black. |

Buford, GA United States | I went from a Nomad to the Vision and once you get used to the windshield not moving when you turn you will not believe how much more agile the Victory is. Getting your picture made does take some more getting used to as that never happened on the Nomad. Last week just sitting at a traffic light I look in the mirrors and see this pickup driving on the shoulder, pulls up beside me and snaps a picture and he must have been using 800 speed film as I was on a black vision otherwise it will blur even sitting still...being the fastest color and all... |

Simi Valley, CA | Wow-
Thanks for the warm reception!
I am so looking forward to the Vision- I even ordered a license plate this week- 1701 V, yes I am a Star Trek nerd- I actually work for NASA as an astronomer.
I am planning on breaking it in on a ride to Arizona Bike week- anyone else going?
I live in Simi Valley Ca, my wife also rides a 2005 Yamaha Vstar1100.

Richmond, Virginia | HOLY BAT CRAP I got home tonight and couldnt find my Vision in the garage... I looked and looked everywhere and couldnt find it.
Then I thought to myself "well duh, its black, its so fast even my own eyes cannot spot it at a stand still".
Blue is cool, Red is hot, but Black is Bad. Next years color is going to be yellow. |

Simi Valley, CA | I could not get NCC 1701 V- too many letters, I am getting a license plate frame with NCC on top and Enterprise on the bottom.
As for no Canadians- isn't Shatner a Canuck? The Captain himself!
I am off to get my Vision.... dealer opens in an hour.... it is an hour away....
Beam me up Scottie!

How could I have missed that?! Ah, but wait, his character is from Iowa, however, I can concede and say yes, there is a canadian crowd draw... my humble apologies to my friends up yonder. You've got to walk around her like a captain getting ready to take the helm, she is a beauty... |

guelph ontario | They probably named the Enterprise wrong-should have been 1731-I should know better-in the old days I used to be a Treckkie-can't remember much generally about those days however. Not sure if we should be proud of Shatner or embarassed by him. |
