| Well Hi al from the Land Down Under . I finally picked up my new 09 Blue Ice Victory Vision Street . I thought the Black was too hard to keep looking perfect and wasn't keen on the Red , so I thought I would go for the Blue Ice . I bought it sight unseen as no dealer in my state had one on the floor . It was a gamble , and I was very worried , going by what people had said here . But I love it , put it outside in the Sun and what a beautiful colour [ aussie for color lol] My friends now call me Buck Rogers so I went with that theme and got a personallised Plate for it , that was as close as I could getto SciFi and ended up with SCFII , I went with the street because I just love the lines , and I think the top box breaks the smooth flowing NESS look of the bike . Here in Sunny Queensland , Victory has only been available for a few months and as far as I can tell I am the first Vision owner in the state , maybe the first Blue Ice owner in Australia .Lets hope it the thin edge of the wedge . I was at the 40th Anniversary of the Honda 750 /4 Rally a week or so ago and spotted an Orange Vegas at the rally . The firsts ever Victory I had seen on the road . My Dealer " Rollies speed Shop " has been excellent , and should be fine with the servicing etc . Well ride safe cheers MartyQ |

Under the Rule of Jedi - Masshole | Welcome!
I believe there is a blog about some of your "mates" riding around the USA. It use to be on the home page, not sure where it is now.
Enjoy your ride! |

Richmond, Virginia | Thanks for being one who thinks outside the box and is willing to take a risk ! BLUE is awesome. Personally, im pretty "blacked out". Black bikes, black clothes, black hats, black leather, even at bike ralleys they official t shirt is always BLACK. Cant we move to get away from black? Afterall, "badass" is a state of mind, not a state of apparel.
Congrats on your bike, you will never regret it or the fame it will bring you |

They are Kiwis, actually, and I believe their Grand Adventure has now ended. You can check out their blog from the trip at WWW.BUMSONBIKES.CO.NZ

| Hi , I live just North of Brisbane on the East coast of Australia , in a place called Redcliffe . [ about 35 klm nth ] Brisbane is the State capitol for Queensland . Victory dealers are pretty thin on the ground here , and so far , so are any sort of Victory Motorcycles . I have now seen 2 others , but have yet to see another Vision . I had 4 Goldwings in a row and then tried a HD Night Rod Special . Loved the bike , but wasn't really suitable for 2 up long distance , so the HD went the way of the Dinosaurs and I still wanted to go the V Twin way , and the other HD's in the lineup really didnt press my buttons , and then I saw the Vision and it just Blew me away . I have been riding for 36 years and nothing has even come close except for the Honda Rune . This one sure is a keeper , cheers Marty |
