Who do we have here from Colorado, and where do you live? I am in the Front Range area, along the Boulder Turnpike at the Westminster/Broomfield border.

@DaleS I really like that Nuclear Sunset paint. The first Vision I saw at a dealership was that color. It really grabbed my eye. You sure know how to pick 'em.
I travel up your way a few times each summer.

There are so many great roads, it's hard to make up your mind each weekend as to which to take. And 300 sunshine days each year. Fifty-four 14,000' peaks, over six-hundred 13,000' peaks. Peaks mean valleys and canyons. Woo hoo!

I have been conversing with another guy from Ft Collins. He was interested in my V92TC. Apparently there was a Victory club ride staged from there last August. I missed hearing about it....![Image]()

Thanks. Once I researched and settled on the Vision the next hard task was the color. The bike already makes a statement, but I eventually leaned toward really stepping out there. The bike's color in a showroom really doesn't do it justice--you have to see it in the full sun and soak up the appreciation of the color. I just bought a fill-in panel at Christmas and removed the trunk and the bike really handles lighter.
I have to admit that I got caught last Wednesday with the ice storm that came through. I had ridden to work and kept watching the weather website and all the information and watches said the system would come through at six. Well. It came in 2-1/2 hours early and covered the bike with a thin coat if ice, but the streets were still warm, due to a few days of 60-degree weather, and wet so i decided to make a run for it, leaving work at 4:15 for the 4-mile trip. With prayer, I made it home and only fish tailed slightly one time in my neighborhood. Once I left the main arterial i kept it in first gear through my neighborhood thinking it had not been treated doing only 15 mph. My cul-de-sac was okay at one end, but three houses later it was 100% ice, but had a rough texture and the tires hadn't warmed above freezing yet. I angled perpendicular to the curb and straddling the bike, flat footed, inched the bike a few inches at a time up my inclined driveway. That beautiful paint job is still intact. I didn't know that was on my bucket list, but it's not any longer.
Here she is without the trunk taken about 5 o'clock in the evening.

A lot of memorable trips to Colorado (Estes Park) and have a few friends that have relocated there.
