An uncanny resemblance!

I saw this and could not help myself! I had to share it! A picture is worth a thousand words...

Monkeyman in a previous line of work?

**cnc** · 09-15-2013, 09:53 AM

Maybe they can do a Mickey and Minnie look alike bike next.

logansrunner · 09-15-2013, 10:20 AM

That's funny right there.

jandreu · 09-15-2013, 12:36 PM

So true

I have a much greater appreciation for clowns, now.

It's already been done. Look at the front of a Gold Wing.

I've had many previous occupations. Some successful (male escort, professional whale watcher, amateur gynocologist), some not (Olympic bean bag tosser, economist) but I've NEVER been a freaky, scary looking clown.

I can vouch for Monkeyman, if you ever meet him in person "clown" is not an impression that you will arrive at.

That said laugh all you want about the Vision, but it is the most comfortable, best handling V-Twin I've ever ridden. Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder and while I love the clasic look of the Nomad, I apperciate everything else about the Vision and the looks are growing on me.

As long as you can keep the back of the front fender from falling off and getting caught in the front of the bike interfering with you ability to steer

Every vehicle has it's problems. That happens to be the Visions only real flaw. Unfortunately, it's a potentially fatal flaw. The big problem with that is Victorys corporate attitude. Their final determination is that it's a "cosmetic, wear and tear" issue and not safety related.

Parts falling off the bike are not wear and tear items to me, tires and brakes are.
I'm surprised that Victory isn't doing anything about it.
