At least a few Victory t-shirts....but unlike the HD guys on here...you probably can't get matching Victory salt and pepper shakers for your picnic table.....

Pardon me for bringing this back on topic.

I am not a brand loyal guy. I am also not a snob of any sort. As a matter of fact, I dont care what anybody rides, or what anyone thinks of what I ride.

I rode my 07 Black Nomad for a couple of years with more than 24,000 miles on it. I added a fairing, then lowers, then bought a trunk and a wompas rack. Finally realized that what I really wanted was a full on touring bike.
I rode Victorys CCT at multiple demo days, rode the Vaquero at multiple demo days, rode a few other bikes and finally settled on a Voyager. Only problem with that is only colors available were white and gold (no way) and black. I live on a gravel road, so after trying to keep the black Nomad clean I swore that I'd not have another black bike.

After leaving a Kawasaki dealer in OKC, I stopped by one of the local HD shops. There it was. Everything that I had been trying to make my Nomad into. HD Ultra Classic. I made an offer (13s were due out in a week or two) and we worked out a deal. Took the Nomad home and pulled some of the stuff I'd added to it and returned it the next day and rode home on my 12 FLHTCU.

I wont even try to explain the difference in buying experiences, or the difference in how they take care of you or treat you after the sale. It's night and day though. That has nothing to do with the bikes, its a nice addition though.

Now my HD(like all previous bikes and hotrods) is proficient at sucking the money from my wallet for shiny bits and go fast parts and pieces. Thats part of the fun for me. Some people ask me "what kinda MPG do you get?" I answer honestly, I dont really know or care. If thats all I owned a bike for I'd be riding the 86 454LTD.
