Trekwolf164 - ...................On the highway cars will linger to look at her Ride Safe post about your new ride

Not to mention the fact that we have had a number of folks video record us with their mobile phones from their cars while riding down the road next to us. Just makes you laugh. People usually do this type of think when they are seeing something extraordinary. Is that what we are when riding our Visions? Just asking. ;-)

There should be a WARNING LABEL that states the following over the key switch when you go to ride off with your new Victory Vision.

Warning: If you do not like meeting total strangers, answering questions about Victory (or parent company, Polaris, stock symbol PII), answering questions on the Vision and it features, demonstrating the motorized windshield, describing or physically demonstrating the tip over points, pointing out the cruise control switches, heated seats and grips, opening the mp3/iPod player area, the gas cap door, and all luggage compartments, providing the price you paid for the Vision or stating that since 2010 you can get ABS and reverse as options, pointing out the location of the nearest honest Victory dealer, the free demonstration rides that the dealers provide and the bikes top speed, do not buy the Vision.

Please know the engine displacement in cc and ci, gas mileage city and highway, max horse power and torque (in four configurations stock, staged, with cams, air box and controller and finally....nitrous). Questions will be asked be prepared.

Do not forget to mention that it is an American Motorcycle. Designed in Minnesota and built in Iowa.

For a quick answer just say, "It's a Victory..You know, the same people who make Indian Motorcycles."

Be prepared: People will check out your Victory Vision at stop lights. (Once a blond in a Land Rover smiled and gave me thumbs up.) Some will even roll down the window to ask a question (see list above) or make comments like, Cool, Wow! *Dat is da Real Playerz!

If purchased: You must also be kind to those who walk around your Vision when you are eating or shopping.

When you are asked silly things about the Vision such as "When did you steal George Jetson's bike" or "I saw this in the Batman movie", be thoughtful in your reply since, they might really want a Vision but have to many Bar and Shield tattoos to turn back now, really do not want a Vision but that is OK and everyone should ride a motorcycle that they identify with, third be embarrassed that they paid more for their HD Ultra Electra Glide but do not want to admit it or finally; they go home, do some research and they might just buy a Vision for themselves.

*I had to look up the "Real Playerz comment" because I had no clue what it meant.

Ride Safe!

Capt'n Nemo,

I think you missed the line in the middle.
