Motorcycle owners???

'08 Victory Vision Tour Premium. I like other Vicories better but I needed a vehicle that gets me to work 110 miles one way. This has the heated hand grips, heated seats, radio. I needed the trunk space because my gear for work is over 75 lbs. It's a very comfortable ride. Smaller bikes tend to beat you up on long rides. Plus this is getting 60 MPG. It'll have to do until I can afford another bike just for riding.

Just a side note this is one of the first Visions made. Victory build it for Kyle Petty for the 2007 Charity Ride. I got it at auction for charity for $6,000 less than MSRP.

If all you bike owners haven't seen last night's (11/04/09) South Park, head over to southpark.com to watch. HI-larious. As much as I love motorcycles, esp. Harley's, Parker and Stone have this right.

Last night's SP was dead on, I loved it.

Also, nice Victory.

OK - which one of you guys taped the animal rights activist to the tree??

[Eville]

“They peed on me!!!” charged one activist. “They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me ‘La Trene’, and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!”

“I…I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket, and he…he didn’t even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, ‘You can’t prove that.’ Next thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.”

Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”

lmfao That is great.

Bringing this old thread back up.

So I have been REALLY thinking / researching taking the plunge and buying my first motorcycle. I have always enjoyed riding eventhough it was a rare ocassion with friends who let me ride their bikes for while.

This last Sunday, my wife gave me a "day off" to do whatever the hell I wanted to as part of my birthday celebration. I went scuba diving, shooting, and riding with a friend. He let me borrow his bike (this is not his but its the same model):



I was HOOKED once again. Eventhough I enjoyed the ride, I am dead set on getting a cruiser as opposed to a crotch-rocket. This weekend I am going to do some hands on scouting of different dealerships and look at bikes. The wife has been hard to convince but I keep telling her it will be my "congratulations on getting your Masters" gift to myself.

Possible purchases:

Suzuki Boulevard
Honda Shadow Aero
Yamaha V-Star

Any advice/comments that anyone can offer I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Nelson

Bill, I think you're losing it! We've already covered the topping of this thread:

1974 shovelhead custom is my daily driver. I also have a 69 boniville and a 2011 Evo rat bike. But my fav is my RD 400 drag. Don't get as much time on them as I would like but that's how it goes.

Got some pics of the shovel? I'm guessing the Evo is in the avatar?

The avatar is my shovel.





Here is the Evo and Boniville

Nice bikes. Bonnie, of course, marking her spot.

ETA: The bars on the Evo look Choppers Inc.

Definitely losing it, I have recollection of that at all.

Speaking of which are you new here?

[S.A.W.B.]

No choppers inc. here my friend. All home built in my shop. Tank , fenders, bars, frame ect. Everything I do is low budget and from the sole.

Bonnie pisses on everything but I love her.

LOL. Yes, I'm new. I enjoy long walks on the beach, and macnudos...

That's cool. The bars on that one definitely remind me of some of Billy's stuff. I've been reading The Horse for years, but haven't had the time to do one up yet. I'd feel bad chopping the T150

Well if you read the horse you should check out issue 64. That EVO has a feature in it. There is a long history behind that bike.

Just grabbed it. Wow, The Horse looks different! "No Paint Scratches" I guess you're Kevin.

Nice!
