Ya mean "tinnnn roof-rusted!"

Rented a vision in Vegas with my buddies who rented Harleys. I smoked em all day! Very comfortable and suprisingly sporty for their size.

YES MARKPELL! Kudos on Tin Roof Rusted!
Still don’t know what it means but oh well.....

I was not on the verge of guessing that.

So what does that mean?

Well, that’s not the last line, is it..
It’s the roof on the shack that’s
Set way back..
In the middle of a field..
Just a funky little shack....Yada Yada....

Yes you are correct in that it was not the last line of the song Huzo. Still a fun song and who cares what she meant by that line.

After 14 HD's and lots of other bikes including BMW/MG/Goldwing's, etc I still love my 2012 Victory Cross Country Tour purchased new 6 years ago and still running strong!

Oops. I shoulda kept reading to the end of the thread. Here I thought I was special! Lol!!!

Back to OP, nice Vision! I have a V92c that is the best riding cruiser I’ve owned.

I always referred to those Whales as 2 wheeled cars.

I ride my Victory when out with Harley riding friends. They are always mesmerized watching that big rear tire in the corners and it never fails to annoy them how much attention it gets when parked. 😆

BrotherJim · « **Reply #46 on:** March 05, 2020, 12:37:57 PM »

Dang it, JJ! I was gonna say it came from Planet Claire!

Canada72 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 05, 2020, 10:13:59 PM »

The Victory 106 cu in motor with the 6 speed transmission is awesome, forced Harley to increase their displacement to keep up performance wise. The Victory Cross Country is possibly the best “bagger” of all time, unbelievable handling for a bike of that size.

Polaris only killed the brand as the real money is in clothing and accessories, which Indian sells way more of in spades, not due to sales volume. My Harley riding buddies spend a fortune on clothing and gear to look like walking billboards for the company. Lol!

Moparnut72 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 06, 2020, 12:22:44 PM »

According to Harley's annual reports the Motor Clothes part of the company generates a small part of the company's revenues. I think it is about 8% but I may be wrong on the actual amount. I would think that Polaris isn't much different.

Thanks! Here are some more photos from my recent 250+ mile Road Trip down to the Valley (north Scottsdale) with rest stops at the historic Rock Springs Cafe and Saloon...the "original" stage coach stop from 1918 between Phoenix and Prescott.

Yes, there is a natural springs there where they watered the horses!

The other photo is along Camelback Road and that's Camelback Mt. in the background.

Another member of the white whale club here having owned my beautiful 2012 Victory Gloss Pearl White Cross Country Tour since new in March of 2013. It’s by far the best and most capable motorcycle I’ve ever owned. And yea, it’s a keeper.

The CCT lowers were relocated a few years ago to the attic. I prefer the Victory forged bars with JTD inserts. And the trunk has been hanging on the garage wall soon after my wife’s last ride of 2019. It will go back on whenever she’s ready for her next ride. She quickly falls asleep back there and I barely know she’s on the bike.

Thanks. I watched that about 5 times. Until my wife and daughter told me to knock it off.

It still sounds to me like she says something about “Henry.” I don’t hear “tin roof rusted.”

But I’m deaf. What do I know?

Absolutely fun Victory Vision motorcycle story:
"David & Suzanne’s Big Frickin’ Canadian Motorcycle Adventure"
David Moore (Kindle)
Title sized to match the bike I guess?
