It's A Victory!

Yes, peeps. I've joined the dark side, but not too dark.

Bars open.. Just a shandy for me as I'll be rumbling around the lanes on me new beastie! :smt003

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I quite like the Victory motorcycles.
Prefer them to the Harley bone shakers. :smt003

Been seeing a lot of those about. Seems to be the cruiser of choice these days. Enjoy.

I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it,and how it differs from a Hardly,everyone I know that fancied a Harley and bought one was bitterly dissapointed with it.
Will you now be buying a tassled leather jacket and calling us all 'Bro'? :smt003

Don't forget the tassels on the end of the grips :smt002
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

I do wonder sometimes do people cruise on them or just potter about? I've never seen one with dirt on it.

So is it an ornament or a useful tool?

Have fun anyway, but please don't fit ape hangers.

Rides nice, Bro :smt005

Built for comfort, not speed.. However, she does get a shift on when called for. Have stuck a few miles on, but plenty more to rack up. She's only got 5,550miles on the clock! Barely run in. :smt001

I was looking at going down the Hardly Ableson route, but decided against it. Price was a massive factor. For a HD in similar spec to mine, I'd be looking at double what I paid. Happy all round.

Hope it does well for you - I know a few people who've been disappointed with the reliability.
