Winter broke-down Gibby...
The long winter months, and ridiculous "spring" finally had its toll on our friend Gibby.
He just didn't have the strength to fight-back the "siren's call" of a new 2013, red Victory Cross-Country when he saw it at the dealer. The dealer didn't quite have him completely sold on the idea of trading-in his 2012 Victory Cross-Country -- that is until he started his 'hypnotizing dealer-speak, song and dance" and the "deal" they could make together... and how great Gibby would look on a new 2013 Red Vix. That was it! Deal is DONE!!! BIKE IS BOUGHT! Delivered tomorrow! No turning back now! Red is in! Black is out! Congrats on the new bike Mike.

Thanks Greg, nothing like the smell of a new bike. One correction, my old Vic was a 2012 that I purchased in Aug 2011, about a week after they were introduced. I WILL look good on the new Red Vix, I have always had a weakness for red heads
How about a trip report Greg?

As my body gets older I am riding less and less every year, I will be lucky to get 15,000 in this year. My right knee is shot, too much hockey as a yute and too much fun as an adult

Congrats on the new ride. Victory makes a nice bike, and red is great color and pretty fast right behind the red/silver of course. ;)

Congratulations on the new bike. Ive had about twenty bikes so far, and never a brand new one yet. My closest was a 3 month old Suzuki 750 in 79. Maybe some day.

What? A tent full of rocking chairs for all you old farts? A supply of ben gay for your sore muscles, geritol and high fiber treats (have to keep regular).

Congrats on the new Vic Mike! Looking forward to seeing it in person at the benefit ride! Just don't let me stare at it too long, I might just be too easily hypnotized into running out and buying one too! (yep, no willpower here)
So.....where is this tent going to be...'cause if there's Ben Gay, geritol and fiber....I'm in!
