| Cold day only 56 degrees sitting at a left turn light and before I new it I was locking up the front brake and giving it a lot of gas letting the clutch out and smoking the rear tire. Had a pretty good cloud of smoke going. Cages were looking like they never saw this before. Light turned green sat back down in the seat and off I went. Looking in the mirrors all the way down the block for a cop to come after me. By the way a CT gets really sticky when there hot

Pittsburgh, PA | Nice! On a cautious note.... I did see a belt break once at a bike night from doing a burn out... Probably an old belt.? |

| People look at you so funny when you smoke the rear tire. Had a guy tell me he didn't know a big bike would do that. |

New Bohemia, VA | I think it's way cooler to pop the front wheel off the ground, which the Vision can do. Any drunkin' harley rider can spoke a tire, but I wonder how many stock harley's can pop the front wheel? |

when it has happened it's been second gear, very distinct, yet unintended. |

Green Bay, WI United States | I shit canned my Vision in the parade many times in the Fall Ride at Tomahawk, it never gave me any front tire lift but sure was a one handed throttle roll on king. I will try and see if I can make this happen for next year. Practice makes perfect as they say!
Ride hard, ride fast but above all ride safe and free...

Bullhead City, AZ | Took mine off the ground by complete accident, didn't even know I did it until the front touched down. Scared the hell out of me. Tried several times with my Kingpin never got it done. |
