Mike, Did you get a chance to see the infamous Vincent chopper? Or the monstrous Indian Larry whateveritwas? Joe

Mike, does Gino's still serve the giant slab-O-sausage on their pizzas?
I don't think I could eat those things anymore.

Joe, your report is pretty identical to my experience at the NY show. A good time, but Triumph was missed.

But what about the Victory motorcycles?

boozefighter · 02-12-2007

Silverado, I'm glad you brought Victory up. They had some nice bikes and I especially liked the all black Eightball. A lot of bike and power for the money, with a rakish appearance. Bare-boned muscle!! Joe

Man, I almost went to the show on Sunday.....glad I didn't.

Nice report Joe...

Doodledog, I'll tell you what's a real laugh. You go to the Harley section and you see these clowns from the local HOG Chapters standing around gloating next to the kind of HD they own. When someone walks up to the bike to look at it, they will approach and inform them that they own one just like it. Most folks just nod and walk away, but I usually say, in a loud voice, "Man! You are one lucky son-of-a-*****! I sure wish I could get one! When did you hit the lottery! How about lending me 15 grand? Can I get an attendant over here to help me!!" At which time they usually slink away and I can examine the bike in peace. Joe :-D

Joe, that Victory 8 Ball is just the one I have my eye on.
A nice alternative to the HD lineup.
Until they start making Indian Scouts at least.

Check out the review the Eightball got in last month's Horse Backstreet Choppers magazine. They said this bike rocks!! Quote: "It's just the kind of getaway you'll need when you go into a ghetto bar with a 38 special tucked into your waistband and the stuff hits the fan!" And there isn't any motorcycle that can get a better review than that!! :-D

Brit Iron, saw so many bikes, struggled to see most of them with the crowd, yeah I saw lots of choppers,vintage and new builder bikes but keeping up with the rest of our group I didn't realize their signifigance. We left and I wondered what we missed only being there 2 hours.
