| Hello,
Tried to send this to Victory, couldn't find a way to send them a nice note.
I was on some twisties a couple of months ago and a young college dimwit came drifting around a blind curve, sliding in my lane. I had to evade left because he was heading fully right and as we collided my right front tipover hit his car. We slid down the side of each other and after I careened off into the left brush, unhurt and not down, my bike had a slightly bent subframe holding the fairings and some scratched chrome, and his car had a giant slash down the right side. Kept my leg.
Love my Vision.

New Bohemia, VA | Hvic - glad you are okay. This just adds to how different the Vision is as I've read and spoke to a few people where they went down on the Vision and slide on the tip overs. One mentioned that they still had enough momentum that they regained control and the bike uprighted off the tip overs and they could keep going. While these things are not substitutes for knowing how to ride, I believe the design of the Vision has saved lives, just as it did in your case.
I've not communicated with Victory, but there are plenty here that have and have a good email somewhere. The ones on the websites usually gets an autoresponse to get with your dealer.
Welcome aboard the forum.

Houston, Texas | The part I like is the "college dimwits" car has a giant slash down the side.....I knew the 007 accessories kit would come in handy someday.

| If that little s&!t hit me while drifting around a blind curve, I would have calmly put down the kick stand, walked over to him, and made sure he was ok. Just before head butting him with my helmet and breaking his f'n face. |
