Oh no you too?! That goddam 2nd gear is the friggin death knell for these bikes which are otherwise extremely hardy. Sorry to hear it. When negotiating the purchase of the Victory I was asked what I had to trade and what I was looking to get for it. "A beauty" I told him, "And I don't want much for it?" which got his attention till I told him why. After that he was not interested at any price.

I am just about to get mine out of winter storage, post it on Craigslist with full disclosure of the issue, and park it somewhere visible with a FOR SALE sign on it. After getting to ride the new Victory a couple times now I am officially, emotionally divorced from the old gal. Have decided I'll be glad to let it go intact with all accessories attached for more like the $1500 range. I realize that is not financially the smartest move but I'm just suddenly over it. Funny how a new bike can do that....hmmm. Time to move on.
