Just thought I'd ask. I know about life getting complicated and certain things having to be put off because of them. I kind of figured that since you're so unwilling to get rid of it (perfectly understandable), you'd want to take steps to get back on it.

If i could get it back on the road, as one motorcyclist to another, do you think i wouldn't just for the sake of it?? I mean honestly *L*

Its off the road for certain reasons, its not off the road purely because i cant be bothered getting it looked at. Its sat in the shed for this long whats a few more years is part of my reasoning for not wanting to get rid of it, who knows what the future may hold, I dont want to get rid of it then find a week later the reasons its off the road go away and its possible for me to get it ready and back on *LOL*

Anyway the reasons its not on or off the road are irrelevant. I just wanted to share my ride :)

Glad you did.

Just reviving this thread in answer to a question in another one.

here's mine.

Great bikes. I like that Victory. Really like the paint.

I went to one of the test ride days at a local Victory dealer and rode the Kingpin and a Cross Country.

I liked em. The only complaint I had was the clunky transmissions.

But, if I had 20 grand, I'd take that Cross Country home.

My favorite ride
 

It gets infinite miles per gallon !!

Only until the winds die out. LOL.

I actually didn't test ride my Victory. I tested the King Pin as well. Real smooth, great speed. The transmission responds best to a gentle touch which I just don't have. Especially running in my city where it's best to shift fast and hard to get out of the way. I didn't find out about the Cross Country, which is closer to what I was looking for, until after my purchase.

Let's see you sail that home from the pub on a busy Saturday night.

I was going to say something derogatory,like the manuals are only in Japanees(sp?)but I've been riding since I was 15(I'm 66 now)& I've learned that the only important thing is that "At least you're riding!" Irish :thumbs:

Close, Irish... Japanese. I'm in the 'At least you're riding' camp. As long as someone is happy with the bike they ride, and keep it upright, it's all good. :)

I haven't been riding nearly as long and already believe that. I have my preferences and will defend them, but I bow my head to those who defend theirs. Whether it's a crotch rocket, a brand new cruiser, Honda or Harley...it all boils down to we love to ride and that's all that matters.
