Memphis | +1 Don't know what the record for the bagger class is but Visions should absolutely own that class over the next few years. The one they are running right now is amazingly close to stock. |

I just don't understand why all these guys/gals can't admit to buying the wrong color bike, maybe you can explain it to me. |

Western WA | First, MC is the fastest, hottest, and most attractive of all the Vision colors.
It's true. It' not must me. There's a Wikipedia article that states just that. Wait. . . .okay, there's one now.
On a serious note, the bagger class record is 153.906.
Interesting to see what she can do on the Vision. |

Go Laura Go!!!
She posted 122 MPH in stock configuration, which should qualify for a new record for the class. Many of us already knew from personal experience that the Vision would go that fast in stock form, but none of us took the time or trouble to get the speed officially recognized. I suspect it is time for Lloyd's cams and John's OD pulley to be installed. Stock gearing with the speed limiter disconnected will only allow for 142 MPH (at stock redline), even if there is enough power on tap to pull that speed. More power than stock, and different gearing will be needed to break the record of 153.906 MPH, but I don't doubt that the Vision, and Laura can do it.

New Bohemia, VA | good time, though I agree it she could have squeezed more out givin' some minor changes. But what can you do and still keep it in the stock class. At highspeed the bike is incrediably stable, though I don't advocate running that fast except on the flats, I think the bike itself could achieve 200+ and maintain stability. |

No Fear
One Sunday an old biker walks into church and sits down in the front row. As the preacher is beginning his sermon, the devil suddenly appears at the altar. The members of the congregation, including the preacher himself, flee the church in terror, all except for this one old biker in the front row.
The devil notices this one biker still in the church and walks down from the altar to confront him. He roars at the man, "Do you know who I am?"
"Why of course I know who you are," the man calmly replies. "You're Satan."
"And you're not afraid of me like the others?" the devil asks somewhat miffed.
To which the biker replies, "No. Why should I be? I've been married to your sister for the last 25 years."

LaPorte,Tx. | There are a lot of motorcycles that can exceed 150 mph, and I'm sure the Vision could do it with enough power and the right primary sprocket. But, the Vision has a large leading edge and it will pack in alot of air pressure under the fairing. Once it starts doing that the front end begins to lift , the bike is wanting to take off, and that is not a good feeling. Hopefully in the non-stock runs they can modify the fairing to reduce the lift from the air pressure and keep the front wheel stable. I'm hoping she can break the record. |

Cottage Grove, Mn | Just remember Varyder started it!!!!!
An oil rich Sheik is dying and he calls his three sons to his bed side. To the first son he says my son I am dying and I want to give you what ever you want and money is no object. The son thought for a moment and said he would like a new Rolls one in every color and a beautiful woman for each. So be it and the Sheik sends an emissary to make it happen.
To the second son he makes the same statement and he replies that he would like a new Mercedes one in every color and a beautiful woman for each. So be it and the Sheik sends an emissary to make it happen.
To the third son who is only ten years old he makes the same statement, the son thought and thought and finally replies he would like a Mickey Outfit to which the Sheik replies no my son money is no object. The son thinks for a minute and says no that's what I want, so be it says the Sheik and buys him Harley Davidson.
