| Hi all:
I am a new member to the VRN, and am a new rider as well. I started working for Victory in March, and have since gotten my endorsement, taken the BRC, and am on my way to getting on a Vegas. I look forward to learning from you all, and appreciate any tips you may have for a guy who is new to riding.
Dave

Memphis | A Vegas for a first bike....Nice! It's going to be balanced, powerful and reliable, the exact opposite of most first ride experiences. If you have a friend that you feel is a good rider, ask them to take you out for a couple of back-road rides and get a good feel for your bike in a relaxed environment. Buy them lunch and pick their brain for a couple of hours. Your learning curve will go straight up for the first year. Good luck and enjoy! |

San Antonio, TX | Dave,
Welcome! I started riding in 1982 and put many miles on an early 80's Kawasaki cruiser. I fell in love with riding but after 10 years of riding I let the bike go into disrepair. Over the years I would borrow a ride from time to time.
Two years ago on July 3, 2008 I took home my 2008 Vision Tour Premium in Black. What a bike. I mean it is big but it does not feel big. I better stop messing around....this is not a 400 pound bike it is an 850 monster with lots of power. I thought...I better learn to ride this thing!
So like you I asked some questions and did some research. The best three things I found were.......
"Ride like a Pro V" It is only thirty bucks and worth every penny.

Lane position and object fixation are two things to take to heart. Here is a short video about riding the Dragon in Deals Gap that explains what I and talking about.
