Northern NJ | This past weekend we did a 1,500 mile road trip to TN and back and spotted a bunch of Visions.
A black Vision at a Sheetz station on Route 15 in PA.
An ice blue Vision (with another Victory) at an Exxon station on 340 in Front Royal, VA. (There was also a Kingpin there.)
A midnight cherry Vision near Boone, NC.
Another Vision on I-81 in PA.
My wife saw another one near Bristol, VA.
We got lots of questions about the Vision from other riders and passers-by.
It used to be "what's that?". Now it's more like "how do you like your Victory?".
I think I'll keep it.  |

East Tennessee | I only know of one Vision in Bristol and it's Ocean Blue. Unless someone was just passing through. |

East TN | The Midnight Cherry Vision in Boone, NC was me...I had just gotten lost and was out burning gas...I had seen your Vision parked in town (side walk sale or whatever was going on) as I drove through...I had ridden up from Knoxville, TN for the day to burn some gas and get out on the Vision...You all were the ONLY Victory I saw all day....I rode US 421 and Hwy 321, mostly all HD's is all I saw... Yep, I get the same thing...How do you like your Victory? It use to be nothing but what is that spaceship?

Well how cool is that? 
We were parked in front of Macado's having a great lunch. We parked in a spot with a very nice 1972 Honda in superb condition.
Sorry we didn't get to meet you. We'll be down that way again before too long. The Snake (421) is a great road. |

East TN | Yes US 421 is fun, but there are a TON of others just a little further south....Over in Rutledge, Sneedville, Cumberland Gap, and some others around Greeneville...And of course the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway even further south...Maybe next time we could meet up and ride for the day...Glad you all had a good ride and a safe trip home.... |

| Yesterday spotted 2, yes 2, Visions in central MO around the Lake of the Ozarks area on Hwy. 54. Was coming into the lake and spied a light blue headed west. 5 minutes later spotted another. Victory starting to make a presence all over. |

Birmingham, AL 08 MC Tour Premium 2012 Bronze Mist | Just got back from a little over 4,000 mile trip to SD and Colorado and only saw 4 over the entire trip. One was on I-55 (midnight cherry) between Memphis and St. Louis on 7/15 and the other 3 were in downtown Sturgis.
That's good and bad.
Good because it keeps the interest high. I was traveling with 5 HDs and one Yamaha and in all the places we went no one took a second look at any of their bikes. The vision got countless double takes on the road and several folks walk up and comment on how beautiful she was. One young girl (appx 16) sat patiently on a bench in Wall, SD waiting for me to return to tell me "You have an AMAZING motorcycle." Made my day.
Bad because there's not enough product, and demand for it, to support a good dealer network. |

Gotha, FL | Finished a trip two weeks ago from Orlando up to Morristown, TN., up into VA. and then across N.C. to the coast and back to Orlando. Rode the Dragon twice, the cherohala. the foothills parkway. the blueridge, the moonshiner 28 and the snake and lots of other backroads I probabaly couldn't find again. Really enjoyed the Snake..way more than the Dragon. Only saw 2 Visions on the entire trip..one on the Dragon and one in the Johnson City area. Both were black. Got asked lots of times about the Vision and lots of picture takers as well. Everyone has to take a look and it took me 10 extra minutes to get out onto the Dragon at Deals Gap just from answering questions about it. Great ride and very little fatigue even after some days that were 10 plus hours on the seat. Bike performed perfectly. No regrets on buying the Vision! |

New Orleans, La, | This weekend at the bike rally in Memphis I saw an ice blue Vision belonging to H Dog of this site and a midnight cherry owner unknown. I also saw a Jackpot, a V92, and a couple of Vegas of various years. At one point on Saturday there were 7 Victory products on the grounds at the same time, go figure. |
