@jaak68 - G'day! And thanks for the great comment! I actually changed out the front turn signals (I called them 'giraffe ears' - yuck!) and put on chrome ring LED lights that wrap around the forks - very streamlined now. She's a great ride - challenging too. Really separates the 'men from the boys'. LOL I'm so sorry your Mum has passed - mine too. It's the little things that keep them in our hearts, like hearing an accent. Good luck to you - hope to see you on a Victory soon!
@KutWrite - G'day! Yep, I'm and Aussie sheila! LOL
Ah the Victorys are so wonderful. There's something about that big 250mm rear tire that gets me. I put 6,000 miles on it over Summer, and let it sit in the garage for about 3 months this winter without starting it. Started at first kick a few days ago and I haven't had one problem. And the power, wow.
Take one for a test ride. The Hammers are easier handling than the Jackpots. :-)
They are a work of art...I had an 09 hammer s...as I liked to say bad ass...but it really hurt my ass after 50 miles and riding 70+ mph on the highway was alot of work. you really had to hold on for your life due to the wind blast. I traded the bike for a new vic cross country...the bike does not have the WOW factor of the hammer with the bad ass 250 and blue/white paint but when i tell you it is a joy to ride...cruising 80-100 is like sitting still and the bike can corner like a 500lbs bike
live the dream for all of us drino!!! gosh to own a dream bike and have the guts to not worship it but ride it...:) i will know the feeling soon hopefully
I want one of these soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! But I need to sell one of my fast cars first!
Have you noticed your left turn signal is a little too far forward in the video? I'm sure that can be adjusted...
Also, I love listening to you, as my late Mum was born in Melbourne....
Thanks for sharing!
