Perry Hall, MD | I know that it's only been 4 months since I bought the Vision, but I find it amazing to continue to be so consumed by the bike. It's so common to find myself going into the garage just to look at it, or to consider for the hundredth time what else can I do to it. Not that it really needs anything, but what the heck I'll look anyway.
There have been many things that have come into my life like boats, cars, and other bikes that when I think back had the polish and accessory catalogs in my hands at first, but not nearly as long as the Vision. This is not another motorcycle it truly is an experience.
Oh yea, yesterday after another coat of wax and that extra look I noticed that you really couldn't see the name VICTORY on the trunk very well. Thinking back to the times that someone has asked who makes it, I painted in the letters on the trunk. Very odd for me, since I have had a habit for many years of removing manufacturers logos from my previous vehicles. Looks good.

You will never loose your Vision in a crowd......unless you are a Victory event like AVR. |

Winston-Salem, NC | I have had mine for 3 weeks, a Vision 8 ball. I am enjoying the honeymoon. All my Harley friends are secretly lusting after her. But she is mine to polish after every ride. |

| I guess it's not a bike you can just get used to and take for granted. |

Oswego,, Illinois,USA | I want to park it in the bedroom like I did with my Schwinn Sting-Ray when I was a kid. By the way I still have that schwinn Sting-Ray .....Parked in my bedroom. Reconditioned to brand new . 1970 ,Wish I could post a picture of it. Oh ya my vision tour ..... wow what a bike. People around here are used to seeing me on a Vulcan 900 LT. Now they just say ..Beam me up Scotty,,,,I love 6th gear. I go out in garage and sitn it and listen to I pod....Put finger prints all over it, then whipe er down and stare at it til my eyes hurt......

Winston-Salem, NC | Funny you mention your bicycle Freezer. I was thinking the other day about how as a first grader I would sit in class and day dream about getting home to riding my bicycle. Now I am old but feeling the same way about my vision 8ball. |

Here they are. Too much wax, hard to keep my ugly reflection out of it.

Tacoma, WA | I like it! I have had an idea to light that thing up, but have not put a lot of priority on it. I am sure it can be done, just havent taken the time to make it happen with a few L.E.D. bulbs. I am sure someone already has, tho. I do like the black, nice job! ---Metalguy |

Perry Hall, MD | Thanks.
Celebrated my birthday yesterday and the wife said that my present was sitting in the garage along with the extras I've been picking up for it. Best gift I can remember getting! |

Newnan, GA | One of the rare times I washed my bike was when I took pics to sale the bike.
Most of the time it looked like a glazed grape doughnut.
It sold yesterday....
Now I'm bike less.
