Newbury Park CA | I'm a little over 50k
My odometer as of today reads 3303.
However I had the instrument cluster replaced ( under extend warranty, thank god!) at about 47k.
The instrument cluster was somehow draining the battery.
I was off the bike for over a month while the dealer in Bakersfield California diagnosed and haggled with Victory to cover the cost the instrument cluster, front fork seals and header pipe that developed a crack.
In the end all was covered. I do recommend that extend warranty!
It looks like varyder is destined to be the mileage king. |

Reno County, KS | Hey "Visionaut", you gonna be the first to wear out a Vision? Just think of this. You've probably got more experience on a Vision than the entire collective of Visioneers put together! Good for you!. We outta get rid of this posting merit system on Vision-riders and replace it with a proven milage merit record. Of course you'd have to devote some of your time to moderation... |

Memphis | Chris, my oldest son and his wife just moved from Mass to the D.C. area. Will have to hook up when I ride up to visit them. Mark, I thought you had been pretty quiet. Glad you're back in the saddle! People around me are amazed at my 30K and I tell them I'm one of the lightweights in the Vision world! |

New Bohemia, VA | wow, thanks for all the well wishes and congrats. how all you have many happy miles as well.
RT - it looks like my Texas trip is out for this year... maybe. The last two years it was a thought that turned into a last minute thing, but this year, too many other things going on. But definetly I'll let you know if I come your way. Texas is such a great place to ride.
SF - give me a shout and let me know.
Markh - when did you get your vision.
BTW all, I think there are a few others out there that are well over 70K and even a 100K. I don't think they have any time for the forum... |

Central Florida | Chris, Congratulations! Thats amazing. I was even with you for a while but I had a bunch of modification downtime(3 months)
and Medical downtime(will be six months total) when I get back on the Vision in about 2 weeks! Last I saw my ODO was about 36K.
Keep up the safe and trouble free motoring! |

Brighton, TN | My butt hurts just reading about all of this.
265,300 miles just from what I can find and total on this page.
there is a reason, i call you Valongdistanceryder, now we know. Might change it to ValuvmyVisionSeatRyder. Victory should be sending out new gifts to all of those over 50k.
Congrats, I know you can't wait to rack the miles up, what is the next milestone you are gunning for. What magic number will your camera capture. |

New Bohemia, VA | I was hoping 60K by the Nov. 17, but I'll be about 3k shy unless I run to Texas, which is not in my plans this year.
Last year as you may recall, I was on my way back on the anniversary day and hit 30K while pumping a near 1k ride to Memphis in 18 hours. I never understood why you guys in Memphis wouldn't come out and meet a fellow Vision rider at 2:00 am on a Monday morning?
Riding to Texas in November is not bad, but coming home was a bear, especially with the snow in N.C after a lonely ride on the Dragon after nightfall. I certainly live by my sig line... |

Memphis | Another reason Vision beats Harley: Can you imagine how many H-D dealers he would have had to stop at and buy a t-shirt from over 50,000 miles? |

, FL United States | I got my Vis the same day Chris got his and I'm WAY behind him on mileage but 29436 ain't too shabby for an old guy who retired to ride
(i'm definitely NOT an Iron Butt rider - i wear out after 8 hours in the saddle - as Laura & my "little ride" from Billings to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful and back in 1 day showed. We left billings at 6:30 AM and returned to the campground a little after 11 PM. Took me a couple of days driving the truck/toy hauler to get over that ride). |
