The ONLY and I mean ONLY thing the Cross has over the Vision is the larger storage space. I own a Vision, have ridden a Cross and there is no way the Cross is a smoother,beter ride than the Vision.
In my book the Vision will always be #1 and the Cross #2 But I want you guys to buy the Cross bike so not every Tom Dick and Harry will have a bike as special as mine LOL

I realize your post was back in November, but being from Maine and the new lights coming from FlashMe, up here in Maine, I'll be REAL disappointed if I'm not one of the first from Maine to wear your new light set-up. I've blogged back & forth to Jedi Jeff (you?) a few times, hoping the lights would be available before I put mine back together (I installed a Hitch-Doc), but it seems that riding weather may come before lights, the way the weather has been up here lately. Should take me only a few hours to switch-em out when the time comes!! Pennies are being saved as we speak!!!

Drop me a note to let me know how to do a swap out if you (or Flash Me) need the original lights as a core.

I keep telling you...chrome IS a color!!! 2008 VV Tour Premium

Thanks,

witchbiker

"cinder blocks"? WOW! Hadn't heard that one. What's the story with that?


I was burning the rear wheel filling the garage with smoke wnen I released the front brake the Vision launched at the rear wall imagine my surprise as the bike and I ended up in the pool in the backyard.
I turned and looked back at the house with a large hole in the cinderblock wall.





OK that never happened but it is was what came to mind when I read cinderblock

The silver one is mine, straightening the bend in the stand seems to have helped and there is 20psi in the shock. At least now it doesn't look or feel as scary as before.

Glad to hear you got it fixed. I like the looks of your bike and ' vette. ]]> http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10806&posts=9 http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10806&posts=9 Sat, 4 Feb 2012 05:04:28 -0500 <![CDATA[what gear never leaves YOUR bike?]]>

There are similar apps on the Android market. Search for "intercom" and you will find a few. There is one that works with both iPhone and Android. I'm gona try that one since the gf and I have different phones. They are all free, so I can keep trying until I find one I like. ]]> http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10782&posts=3 http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10782&posts=3 Sat, 4 Feb 2012 01:05:21 -0500 <![CDATA[New guy...problems already]]>
Just for an update, took the stand off today and looked at it closer. There is damage on the underside of it but have no clue how it could be damaged when there isn't a scratch on anything else. So I put it it the press and now it's nice and straight. The bike sits how it should sit. Next task is to replace the rubber pad. Will keep an eye on it to see if it bends again. Still bewildered about how it got bent that way.

Thanks again all

donetracey - 2012-02-03 2:45 PM SICK - just plain SICK .... I'm going to forward this thread to our newspapers, bike clubs, dealers, - anyone with an interest to find out why our Government run agency is ROBBING us. No other work works. ROBBING ! Godamned thieves.

 Don't worry Don, we will probably catch up to you sooner or later. We just have to adopt a few more of those Socialist programs like you guys have. Obamacare will head us in the right direction. Government has to get it's money somewhere, padding an extra $600. of a man's motorcycle insurance is a good start.

Excellent color choice. Pictures always lie some, but it appears to have a copper cast to it. Straying from a manufacturer's color pallet is always a risk and usually ends is a poor fit, but you nailed it. That looks as though it could have rolled of the factory floor.
Great Job! ]]> http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10802&posts=12 http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10802&posts=12 Fri, 3 Feb 2012 21:47:12 -0500 <![CDATA[No Vision...]]>

Well I would never have believed it but it will be 40 degrees this Sunday and sunny here in Fargo North Dakota. I will pull the Vision out of hibernation for a ride for sure. Last year it was -28 with a windchill of -50. We also had 6 ft of snow on the ground and no sign of pavement. This year we have only had a few light snow flurries and 2 weeks of temps close to or just under 0 degrees. There is a God! and he is blessing those of us who really need a RIDE! This spring should be great... not too much snow yet, no flooding expected on the Red River and sub zero weather is nowhere to be found. See you on the road. ]]> http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10763&posts=18 http://www.Vision-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10763&posts=18 Fri, 3 Feb 2012 17:04:33 -0500 <![CDATA[PREpurchase questions]]>
Just to chime in I think the Vision is a great bike in stead of an 8 ball. if you want take the trunk off for solo riding put it on when wife/girlfriend goes so you got room for "shopping" . trany noise mine can't complain, heat I live in fla, black roads and 100 degree days do kinda suck just keep moving. As for the insurance I had a VTX 1800 R3 before, with the help of the ABS brakes and being a safe driver my ins went down. That's a 500 deductable 300/100 ins policy or 100/300 whatever but I have to admit I was glad to have it when I got into an accident on my wifes bike Honda areo 750. 14 days in intensive care, let's just say Glad to be alive. as for a back rest tell the passenger to hold on to either you or the handles! Happy safe riding!

Here's the way I read this e-mail. "Looking for close-minded rednecks to make fools of themselves when put in a foreign situation for the benefit of cheap reality television."

I feel like I've already seen the show before it's even hit the air. *sigh*

I have looked at that lift in person. It may do the job but for $100 more plus shipping I got the TCMLW from http://www.completehydraulic.com/index.html
