This all takes place around the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.  Went for a little 300 mile jaunt up the road on Aug 23, 2009.  While heading up 664 towards the Monitor Merrimack Bridge/Tunnel, a Cherry Red Vison was headed south.  The rider was wearing full face and an orange safety vest. This was around 1:45PM. After reaching Hampton i headed up hwy 17 towards Gloucester.  An Ice Blue was headed the opposite way with rider and passenger.  Later on while moving down a small two lane ountry road named "Glenns Road" in the Gloucester area i had one more Vision pass me going to opposte way, i think it was black like mine since it passed me so fast i couldnt tell the color.  I have been riding my vision for one year and three weeks in tihs area and only once passed a Vision and then in one day i make up for it all.  I was wondering if any of the Visions i passed were members on this site.

I passed a couple on a Vision riding with a bunch of HD's a few weeks back. Actually I had pulled off for a drink of water and they passed me. I thought the dudes Mrs was going to fall off the back she got so excited to see another. She was bouncing and waving around like crazy, lol.....
I passed another over by Warren PA last weekend, may have been the same couple

Yeah, I remember a day the wife unit and I were out riding and I saw a line of HDer's with a Vision in tow, actually he pushing them along. But it was Dwhite28.

But the Midnight Cherry weren't mine, I don't wear a full face. If I was to guess, and be wrong, that might have been Rick Catlin and his wife on the Ice Blue, as that is his dealer bike and they are known to take jaunts in that direction.

Its easier to follow the HD, that way the older ones with out sixth gear can keep up with out rattling all apart.

Ark, for some reason I think a lot of dealers steered clear of the Grey. I don't know why because thats the color I wanted but the dealer didn't have any (still doesn't). I passed several Grey Visions the first summer I owned mine but they were both down south from me. The first was on the BRP running with a group of HD's and the secnd was in VA pulling into some off the beaten track biker bar & BBQ just below the PA state line. I see mostly Cherry Visions with the odd Black tossed in the mix.
