ORIGINAL: FormulaJackpot
For years I have been riding Harleys, two of which I owned. I thank God everyday mine broke down on Rt. 83 where it was towed to a Victory dealership to see if they can give me a hand. That night, i drove a new Victory Jackpot home and have never looked back.
I found it amazing how the BMW, Honda, and other forums welcome the new styling and innovations. Remote windshield, heated grips, seats, 110" 6 speed combo, ipod capability, navigation, etc.
I was at the Javit Center today, I saw the hundreds of people at the Victory booth, and three dozen at HD. I heard over and over the same thing at the HD booth, "Same as last year," "Oh look, new rims, must be a new model." (lol)
I read someone call it a "Scooter" here. That "Scooter" has a 110ci 6speed that will more than likely wipe you big bad Screaming Eagle. That goes without saying, my wife outran my Fatboy riding the old 92" Vic engine onher Vegas, - and thats a woman driving.
So far the whole motorcycle community minus HD accepts change and innovation, something HD owners will never understand. I never did until I saw it for myself.
I still proudly wear my HD shirts and have my HD plate on my Ram, but you'll never catch me throwing a leg over another HD again until I see some new changes, better service, and newer models. I loved my HD's and still love the company, but there are bigger and better things out there IMHO.
Maybe the Victory Vision is too "futuristic" for some, but then again, I wouldnt expect any other comment from riders who have had the same models and engines recycled over and over for the past 20 years.
I have since painted over the four oil stains on my garage floor from my HD's and I couldnt be happier.

Cool first post from "FormulaJackpot"...rides a Victory and still wears his HD gear. Should be "FormulaCrackpot", what an absolute loser/troll...have fun on the new POS Victory "scooter". Why did he even show up here...we know why?

Troll, not quite, I think you are reading me wrong.[8D] I will be staying long on this site as my wife owns an 04 Sportster. I had intentions of joining here sooner, just havent got around til just recently. I love the bike, just not for me. And no, I dont ride my HD gear on my Vic.
What Im getting at is simple, every other bike forum respects the advancements of the touring cruiser market, but for some reason, the HD family mostly abolish it.
Im not here to pick a fight or "troll", I just wish some people would be more open minded to other things. Heck, you may like it. You'll be seeing me on the Sporty forum!!
Regards to all.

thanks for the link, yes most definitely a troll. how terribly sad forFormulajackpot. the poor little guy probaby aspires to be a software virus writersome day. we should try to have compassion for thissad little man, in a big ole mean world.
interesting that even as hard as he trolled both sites at the same time,some of the Victory folks recognized a the "turd in the punchbowl" right away and called him on it. good for them. his troll almost hooked me into thinking Victory owners were all left coasters or something. LOL.

i have been waiting for victory to release that thing for a while now...i am liking victorys pastdesigning ...but yes you guys are right ....THAT THING IS FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i own an 8ball and it is a good bike...would'nt trade it for anything... my dumbass almost sold it...luckily the guy backed out....
long story short in my waiting period i turned down a heluva deal on a street glide...man that was stupid...if i knew victory was releasing a silverwing on steroids i would have bought the glide...oh well i guess live and learn..
any way you look at it you guys are going to be stuck with me ....i have to buy a long haul bike and it wont be a vision
