2012 is the last year for the "forged" engine guards. In 2013 all of the Cross Country models come with the tubular engine guards except the AnitFreeze Green Cross Country. It would appear that Tim's new bike also has the Cross Country Tour windshield. What say you Tim?

Nice looking bike Tim. Love the colors.

Very nice!

If I were to replace my '06 in today's market, My choice would be the 2012 Victory Cross Roads. Same base, but I like a windshield over the faring. I really like their quick change set up. It can go from Solo, to Backrest, or Tour Trunk in seconds without a toolbox.

Mine would have to be Black.

Very nice looking bike, as everyone has said the color makes it stand out.
Congrats hope you ride many safe and trouble free miles.

Yes, I had them put the Tour windshield on since my sunglasses almost blew off with the short one. I really like the forged bars, those and the red/silver made me pick the CC instead of the CCT. Although the Tour is a sweet ride for traveling. Thanks for all the compliments.

Wow, beautiful bike!

**glwilson** · 08-27-2012, 07:13 PM

Hey Tim... are you going to ride that to Estes Park next June?

(Same goes for you Dmac...)

I love those V-Twins on all Victorys and yours is no exception. Enjoy your new ride!

**Rasta** · 08-27-2012, 08:23 PM

Man, that's a nice looking bike!! Happy for you Stretch!!

toy4bob · 08-27-2012, 09:37 PM

Nice bike! Glad you're back to riding...

stretch · 08-27-2012, 09:54 PM

Thanks guys. I am glad to be back riding again. Seemed like forever but is was only about six weeks without a bike.

Greg, I am not sure yet about Estes Park. I hope to make the trip.

Hope you can...

It sure feels like a long time a go!! Six weeks is not bad at all.

Very nice bike stretch, I am sure you look good riding. It is a great feeling to be on two wheels again, enjoy.
