    Victory Is No More

    Victory's sales numbers declined because the mothership stopped investing in the brand after the Indian acquisition in 2011. Even the last few “new” bikes were based on existing platforms and power plants. Basically, from 2011 on Victory didn’t come out with anything new. I don’t count the...

    Oh yeah... So the 20S does have a headphone jack in the helmet clamp. https://support.sena.com/hc/en-us/articles/214611426-Can-I-Use-My-Own-Pair-of-Earbuds-on-a-Sena-Headset-

    Soloed with the kids to the show to give my wife a little quite time. The oldest couldn't get enough, the twins.... well, they people watched.

    The the Sena SMH10, they make a helmet clamp with an output head phone jack, and the there are adapters for the 20S. I ended up going for speakers with earplugs after putzing around with ear buds for years. No wires, and more comfortable, but yes you do pay a sound quality penalty.

    I have used the Sena SMH10 for several years, and have been very happy with it. I did just pick up a 20S the international motorcycle show here in MN for $195 OTD. So far it seems like a well upgraded unit. The sound quality is much better than the SMH10. I even added upgraded speakers to...

    I'm sick of Facebook. I'm deleting my account!

    I use the chrome extension "social filter." I filter out almost all of the political crap. It works pretty well and helps me maintain my sanity in this insane world. What bothers me though, is it seems all the political garbage is starting to make it's way to linkedin.

    Minneapolis Motorcycle Show 2/3-2/5?

    Looks like it's going to Sunday for me with at least my oldest. Wife is still on the fence.

    MN Tech Day 4/22

    Added to the calendar. I may drive so I can bring my oldest. He'd love all the motorcycles.

    Minneapolis Motorcycle Show 2/3-2/5?

    Anyone going, or interested in going to the Minneapolis Motorcycle Show February 3rd through the 5th? I'll probably go on Saturday the 4th. Not sure if it will be the whole family or just me and my oldest (3 year old). Kevin

    Victory Is No More

    I have had three Victory motorcycles, while I do not have one now, if I can get a Vision at the right price I would.

    I believe you are thinking of Indian pre-Polaris. The only non-Indian, Indians were terrible, but I have not seem too may people have issues with the Polaris Indians. Victory's quality was any indication, they are going to be very reliable bikes.

    Victory Is No More

    I have. I have spent a good mount of time in the saddle of several goldwinds, 1200, 1500, and 1800s. They are fine bikes but the Vision handles better, has much better ergonomics, and was lower maintenance. I was going to buy another goldwing before I rode the Vision.

    I still dress up like a pirate, because **** it, I have three kids, and that's the gear I have.

    Victory Is No More

    Still my favorite bike of all time. Put 45K smiles on it in three years, even being gone 70% of the time for work. I sold it when we had our first kid, kept the Tenere which eventually became the FJR. Last night my wife suggested we keep an eye out for visions selling for cheap. I have...

    It grows on you, the Vision rides so beautifully.

    I don't think Bombardier is going to have anything to worry about concerning Victory or Indian, they don't own polaris.

    Victory Is No More

    It's been a while since I researched it but at one point in time the domestic index of victory motorcycles was greater than 60%, beating out HD which was just shy of 50%. A domestic index of 60% is pretty solid.

    Victory Is No More

    I am both saddened and disappointing with this news. I have owned three Victory Motorcycles. My favorite bike, by a land slide is the Vision. On that bike you could carve up the canyon despite its 900 pound girth. The Vision cast aluminum backbone made for a hell of a nimble touring bike...

    Resolved!: Screwed up big -- trusted the dealer for the first valve check

    If the stealer's mechanic can't even handle the successful removal of the upper and lower fairings without damage, they have no business digging into an engine. Even I can strip the upper and lower fairings from my FJR, including the headlight bezel in under 20 min. It's a half a beer job, and...
