My Harley was a lot faster and more fuel efficient. . .
Now when I ride my Vision to lunch, it takes hours to get there and costs more for gas than the lunch was!

Post your 'BAD VISION' quips here.

My Vision is so hard to keep clean. . .
Every day I have to wipe off more and more drool marks!

I'm sure the old scoot was better, because "better" is a term used to describe how much green I spent on that beauty; $3,500 for paint, close to that much in aftermarket goodies...........
It just had to be better!!

My Vic? Guess I'll have to get by on just the lowers and footpegs.....

Every time my old scoot(s) fell over, it/they ended up being re-painted - so I got frequent color changes. The VV has been the same color for 3 years.

I frequently park in SF, and have had over 1000 tourists take photos of my Vision in the last 2 years. I think their flashes are fading the paint.

damned bike.

I blame my Vision for my anti-social behavior.
With my old bike I had to stop every 60 miles or so just to stretch my legs and rest my a**.
With the Vision I am usually good for at least 250 miles so I am not interacting with people and now anti-social.

Youngtwentysomethinghottiewithasmokingbody - "I love that bike, lines and curves that make me get all hot and bothered!"

I think I tested the tipovers that day. I think I may have adlib'd some because her mouth was moving and I didn't hear a word.

But even so, I'm pretty sure she said - Hey, I really like your bike, it is very cool! Can I go for a ride?

My old bike, a Goldwing, was so much better for me. You see, I am not very outgoing - some say I am shy. Nobody bothered me with questions and comments about the bike the way they do now! For example:

WHAT IS IT? THAT IS GORGEOUS! MAY I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT BIKE? (leaves car running, open door, in the middle of road, to come over to bother me.) WHERE DO YOU GET ONE OF THOSE? WHO MAKES THAT?

and the worst: IS THAT THE NEW HONDA?

I'm so embarrassed.

This thing uses more oil, chews up the Dunlop tires like I own their stock and consumes so much more fuel than expected.! !@#$

I bought it to save money on commuting.

I hope its not worn out before the last payment is made

Where did I go wrong?

My old bike was much better because, before I got a Vision, I had a life!

Now, I spend every evening online waiting for the next post on vision-riders.com, and checking ebay for a great deal on Vision accessories (see, I really am becoming quite delusional) as if I'm going to find a great deal on Vision stuff. Maybe in 10 years.

I've been so out of step that I missed every single episode of Dancing with the Stars this season, I haven't kept up with the Kardashians, and have no concept of who's been kicked off which island. My morning newspaper sits on the driveway, waiting forlornly to be read, only to hit the recycle bin acouple of days later, with the rubber band still intact.

I'm just too busy checking the forums to stay current on current events. Did you see the new motivational poster? Where did MY motivation go? I've even taken to reading all those OT political posts on thevog, which are like bad accidents; you don't want to witness the carnage, but have to look anyway.

I thank God that I haven't yet started drooling like Pavlov's Dog every time a new post comes to the top of the Vision-riders.com home page, but that's probably next, along with a prescription for some pharmacological agents that will let me focus on real life again.

This bike is an obsession, it's an addiction and I'm starting to feel like I'm as bad as those skinny obsessed types waiting for hours in the cold for tickets to the new Harry Potter movie.

Help Mr. Wizard!

My old bike was much better because:

I was able to buy all sorts of things for my bike to make it look all special, The Vision comes with everything I needed.

Gas stops used to take only 5 minutes

I was never asked, "where do you put the dilythium crystals?"

All of my buddies are saving so much money on their prescription Viagra, Cialis, and Livetra. Now they just come over and look at my bike on their way home. Of course, some have to drive home faster then others................

- because I could go places incognito. Now, I'd better be where I said I was because everybody knows where I am.

- the only reason I went to my previous forums was to learn about farkels. I never posted once. Saved so much time.

- I had a practical, rational answer for everything I bought for the bike. I never spent a penny on chrome, exhaust or engine performance upgrades on my three previous bikes. My Vision came more decked out and powerful than any of the previous bikes and I've spent more on changes for it than the other three combined. That's just wrong.

- after I bought my previous bikes, I never went back to the dealer. Now, I hang out at my Victory dealer at least once a month, just because.

- there has never been a Motivational Poster starring a Kawasaki Concours or a KLR-650.

The Vision has ruined me. Seriously, I'm not right.

I used to be so popular in my HD riding club. I was the one who carried extra parts with me to help when they broke down. . .
Now I just ride with and apologize for not having to carry extra parts anymore.
