CC1 Got The Victory Today!!!!!

[CC1]

Well, ok, I didn't actually "get" the Victory but I did get to ride two of them. I had forgotten that the local big Motorcycle dealer had a big Victory Motorcycle Factory Ride setup for today.

You were supposed to log in a website and register to get to ride some really cool new Victory motorcycles. I had forgoten to do so but stopped in to look at the bikes anyway.

I hit the jackpot arriving at the perfect time because just as I asked if I could register in person to ride there were two people missing for the 2 pm ride. They had me hurry up my form and then I got to ride about ten miles on a beautiful candy red Victory Vegas.

When I returned with a big silly grin on my face as it only got better when someone didn't show up for their slot on the 2:30 pm ride so I got to go out again on an amazing Victory Hammer. This is the Victory with the huge rear tire as wide or wider than most car tires. It was also customized with some amazing sounding Vance & Hines pipes. Came back with even a bigger grin on my face.

If I had about $18,000 I didn't know what to do with I probably would have bought one on the spot.

However what I really want is the new Victory Vision. It is a big touring bike to compete with the Honda Goldwing. It will not be out until this fall but they had a show model there to sit on and look it. It looks like something out of the future and I think will give Honda some real competition in the touring market. I think it is going to sell for around $23-24,000 though. They haven't released pricing yet but that is the rumor.

I came home and after a few chores headed out about 6 pm for a nice country ride on my VTX1300 and decided I still love it. The sky was clear and the sun was shining an amazing golden color on all of the fields and trees I rode by. It was a beautiful ride through the Middle Tennessee countryside.
