@sthlmsouthchapter G'day back at you! Sounds like you have might have some great bikes and great rides in your neck of the woods! Would love to travel there some day! Happy riding!
Hi Drino, great to see you back doing your own vlogs again and that is a great camera / voice setup. Really enjoyed watching the vids of your last trip and can't wait to see this years. Best wishes from Oz, Terry :-)
@TKTex1 - G'day Terry! Just got back from a weekend at the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally - rode my show bike (1,500 miles) and got a pleasant surprise at the Bike Show and a couple of unpleasant surprises later in the weekend. Got some vlogs about that trip coming. :-) Next weekend we're heading off to a Regional meet. Thanks for watching!
@mrdizme Hey thanks for the great comment! I have lots of rides and videos to do this summer. Just got back from the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally this past weekend, and we're off to the NW Regional Victory meet in Kennewick in just over a week. Lots of updates coming! Thanks for watching!
@Wilks89 Hey thanks! Just got back from the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally this past weekend, and we're off to the NW Regional Victory meet in Kennewick in just over a week. I have a great update from Hells Canyon that's coming. Thanks for watching!
You got to keep the bike. I didn't know that. Did the other 9 TART participants keep their bikes too? Very cool :)
A couple things have happened recently that impress me about Victory/Polaris:
1. They now own Indian
2. The Victory Police bike marketing effort: Their promo material has done more to raise my esteem of Victory/Polaris than anything I've ever seen before (& that includes the 2010 TART program).
I never took Victory seriously until they built the the Cross models ;)
@boobtubeviewr - Victory offered us a special purchase price for the bikes - several of the TART riders do indeed still have their bikes. All-round win-win. I'm excited about the Indian purchase too - the Vic engineers are cutting-edge, and I hope it'll breathe new life and stability into that great old brand. I'm not sure if you're in the US or not, but if you are - go to a Fuel It Demo Tour day (check the Vic site for details) and ride several Victorys. Then you'll be impressed. :-)
@Drino1969 I could take a test ride but I'm not planning a conventional cruiser purchase anytime soon tbh. Watching the Victory + Indian brands cut into Harley's market share will be fun though. I'll warmly welcome price wars between Harley, Indian & Victory in the future ;)
@18bigern - they're pretty rare. You can find a 'regular' Victory Jackpot - still an incredible ride. Mine is a Cory Ness Signature - designed by Cory Ness. They only made 250 of them. Mine is the 2009 model. They did another run in 2010 - it's red and black, with different wheels. But there were only two years of the Ness Signature Jackpots. If you find one, buy it! Just Google "cory ness signature jackpot 2009" and the first result is Motorcycle usa's review of it with lots of pics. :-)
@gloverintl - Thanks! I think it's a good setup too - the sound is definitely worth it, but boy - I have got to stop shaking my head. Makes me a little dizzy watching it! ;-)
@jajajacol - LOL yes, this bike brings out my inner hooligan, that's for sure! I hope to do a mix of ride videos and vlogs. Sometimes it's nice to just shut up and enjoy the ride. ;-)

I watch a lot of moto vloggers. I really like your camera setup. The little bit of helmet showing is cool (in my opinion). Keep it coming.
