Default What was that?
On the way to work this morning, could not ride, was raining and of course cleared up 2 miles from my house. I saw what looked like a touring bike, I have never seen anything like it, looked like a spaceship, had big swooping like bags in the back, it had a v twin engine, tried to get close enough for a pic but could not, was driving my F-250 Powerstroke, what the hell was that thing???? Was horribly ugly in my opinion.......

I live 60 miles from work, it was raining at my house when I left, about 20 miles up the road it cleared and was sunny, pissed me off, then I saw it.
That Victory thing, the guy was wearing sandals, dress pants and a tie.
Wish I could have taken a pic.

You have had the misfortune of laying eyes upon a Victory Vision. The nausea will recede in a couple of days...
