Pittsburgh, PA | I posted a couple days ago my thoughts regarding my first day riding my new vision. I had some prolems with a very soft rear brake issue. I bled the rear caliper and the center piston on the fronts but the problem got no better. Today I took it back to the dealer and the used a device to suck out the entire brake system and refilled it. Worked like a charm. Must have been an air pocket somewhere in the line or maybe at the link point? |

Pittsburgh, PA | I bought from Tom Clark and they did the repair as well. It was my first time dealing with them. I wish they had more Victory items on display. Just a couple of shirts. |

Salisbury, NC | And if you bled them yourself, you would be surprised at how hard you have to push on the foot petal to get them to bleed right. ET |

| +1 on Tom Clark. I drove 8 hours from VA to purchase a prior bike from that dealership. Paperwork was ready, bike was ready. Was there at 8 when they opened and was back on the road at 8:45. Would have been quicker but I had to take my morning bathroom break.

Pittsburgh, PA | For the record, I did hear some rumors that Tom Clark was dropping Victory from their line up or that they were being dropped as a dealer. I asked three people and they all denied any truth to the rumors. I was told that they placed an order for 2011 bikes and gear. If anyone knows anything, I would appreciate hearing what you heard. I had a good relationship with Crossroads Motor Sports but they got dropped like 3 years ago. I hate when you develop a relationship and something out of your control changes that relationship. FYI, I could drift a dead bike to Crossroads but they can no longer get Victory parts. The really bad thing is they sell a shitload of Polaris ATVs. |
