| VISION ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL Hi all , I was watching the Discovery channel and a show called FACTORY MADE came on , and the first 10 minutes of the show was the making of the Vision at the Victory Factory at Spirit Lake Iowa . It was great to see the process , although brief , from start to finish . I would love to see a version of the build done the same as the Harley V-Rod special , taking the full hour and going into the build process in much greater detail . If enough people contact the Discovery Channel , maybe they will revisit the Factory and do an hour long special on the entire plant , maybe covering the two new X models as well as the Vision . I am flying to Melbourne in the morning from Brisbane just to visit the biggest Victory dealership for Australia . I will post some pics when I get back home , cheers from DOWNUNDER in OZ , MartyQ  |

New Bohemia, VA | greetings to OZ. the feature came on about a year ago and I got to see it. What was great was both my Dad and my brother, unplanned say the same show. I was watching it and the phone rang and it was my brother said quick, turn to the Discovery Channel. The next time I saw my mom and dad they told me about the show as well.
I agree, it would be nice to see an indepth view of our machinces being assemblied and the details about them. Look forward to the pics. later from Id. |

Goldsboro, NC | American Thunder also did a 15-20 minute thing about 4-5 months ago. I have it DVR'd someplace.
I think it was their first or second show. I just checked and it does not appear to be in their archives.
I looked on youtube, and apparently thevog.net got permission to post it.

Amazing you should post this. I caught that episode on the "Speed Channel" night before last.
Nice little piece. It was fun to watch Arlen and the host ride and chat about the Vision. |

Fredonia, WI United States | There was a DVD (10th Anniversary promo I think) laying on my Victory dealer's counter when I bought my bike. It had a bunch of promo stuff on it including the 10 minute video from American Thunder. Pretty cool spot. Wish it could have had more detail in the factory. |
