Not a cruiser kind of guy, but I noticed that Polaris finally came out with a bike that looks, well like a bike. They didn't do a bad job on it as far as cruisers go. None of that silly Arlen Ness window dressing :bad:

Yup - best plate I've seen on a Victory......"SNWBLWR"

Like the look of that. I took my wife to sign the papers on a Victory Vegas when I got back into bikes and got the scrunchy face. She knew Harley cuz that's what her Dad rode.....so I got one to keep the peace. Still like the Victory brand though because they're an underdog....kinda like chasing pumpkins on a DR.

I'm gonna go look up "masochist"..... :biggrin:

You're no masochist TH. You're an individualist... just like the rest of us.

Now I think I'll go look up 'paradox'... :crazy:

Eh, its not bad. Ive already had a really customized 100th Anniversary Harley V-rod, so that look and power they have there doesnt do too much to get my blood boiling. $15 grand, eh...just imagine the farkling on a DR you could do with 15 G's. :lol: :good:

My Victories are as bullet proof as my DR650. Great looking, fit and finish is grade A and the handling characteristics are first class. If they made a dual sport it would be in the stable...

I've never been a fan of Harley's but some of the Victory's look very nice. Plus, I like Polaris!!

I used to live right next door to a Victory dealership, and they would scream the bikes past the house all day long.
