My newest midlife crisis

I have been riding since 07, I will have to dig up some pictures when I get back to the US, but I started off with a 2001 RC51, but sold it when when my son was born, I went without a bike for a while just riding friends bikes, but recently I picked up a little XT250 enduro, can't beat the gas mileage 86 MPG! But once I save up I am picking up a crusier.

Thanks, I enjoy it. Its the best I have ever owned.

The wife likes the back seat better than my last bike, this one is really comfy for her. She loves having "O Snap" handles, rear speakers, and bum warmer. I found the happier she is the more we ride and the less she grips. That's why I bought such a nice bike. It was for her. ;)

I added RAM mounts to the bars and can mount my GPS and a cupholder. Those paired with my backrest and highway pegs I almost never have to stop. Not until I get the tap and hear her over the Bluetooth asking for a bathroom. So close to perfect!


86mpg is pretty awesome but I can't complain to much. I have a 6 gallon tank and get mid 30s to low 40s. I'm still breaking her in and I'm told it should go up a bit with a few thousand miles on her. It still beats my truck.

Here is my current midlife crisis! LOL

Nice bike Jon. I would love a bike like that for local rides.

I love everything about chrome except keeping it polished. I bet those wheels are fun. My last bike(1st pages of thread) was pretty chromed up. I have to say I like the amount on my new bike. Although the whole bike looks terrible right now as I got caught in the rain. I did find out it has awesome coverage as I remained completely dry.

My wife dug out these two pics and emailed them to me...
Here is a pic of my dad an I with our bikes, this was my RC51:

Your dad has a Victory. I like him already! Most be an intelligent man.:D

Haha thought you would like that...I've been wanting a cruiser for a while and am slowly saving up and he keeps telling me to skip the harley and get a vic... I am a fan of the black and white High Ball with white walls

I started on Harley but once I tried a Vic I was sold. Harley is a great ride but for long rides the vibration would make my hands numb and fingers tingle. You cant beat a Harley sound though.

The Vics are just smooth, no way around it. I could ride my Vision for hours and feel great. They are making a great machine and Im hearing really good things about the Indians too.

I still like Harley but for the money I just got a lot more bang for my buck going with the Vision. It was the smart choice for me for the type of bike I wanted and what I wanted to do on it.

Just don't ride one til your ready to buy it. If you ride it you will buy it.

Haha that is why why I don't even go to the dealers just browse online
