Thank you all for the welcome !
Yes I will miss my blue monster (zx) .... belive me I understand Jay Leno .... in my perfect world I have a bike for every occasion LOL !
The proof is in the pudding as they say ..... I recently parked my bike on a busy Port Dover street, next to my good friends, beautiful American made, top of the line custom touring bike. Then sat back and watched person after person walk past his and over to my Vision ! Kinda brought a tear to my eye LOL ! ..... and a smirk !
My Daughter affectionatly stated "Dad it looks like a 'Transformer' ...... Yes it does and I am pretty sure they were the good guys !

Thanks again ! :cool: ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6456&posts=8 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6456&posts=8 Thu, 8 Jul 2010 11:21:36 -0500

I'm hoping to do a 75,000 mile review when I get back from California. I was told I was crazy to ride out here but it has only made me want to ride more. On the way west I traveled 2,800 in less than 3 1/2 days. My return trip will be around 3,100 miles I plan to take 5 days so I can visit family. There will be at least a 1,000 mile day in there, if not two. I say that so I can convey the comfort of this bike, if that is what you are looking for. I've not concerned myself with finding out where the dealers are along the way and the bike has not given me any trouble. I've also discovered that some of the heat that folks complain about can be redirected without any modification. The upper wind deflectors will do that if they are not brought all the way in. I've rode nearly the whole trip in temps in the 90's an.d about half of it in the 100+ with temps at one point reaching 110.

To me, it's all about the ride and the Vision stock is perfect out of the box. ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6446&posts=8 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6446&posts=8 Wed, 7 Jul 2010 07:39:45 -0500

i was concerned riding so far and then into the hot desert region, but no longer. This bike performs very well and it seems to run better here in the desert. Going back east later this week, can wait to ride the loneliest road in America. ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6449&posts=2 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6449&posts=2 Wed, 7 Jul 2010 00:41:56 -0500

Happy Independence Day from the offshore cleanup!!! We'll be watching Northerly tonight for some fireworks on land! PS, if you see any stuff on the news about Helix Producer 1 (HP1), that's us! I'll be waving! Ha ha ha.

Thanks for all of your help out there!

I find it amazing that it has only been 30 years since the Ixtoc I oil spill in the Bay of Campeche and almost no one remembers it at all. This well flowed from June 3, 1979 ? March 23, 1980 and spilled the same amount of oil that Deep Horizon has to date. Ixtoc I is listed as the fourth largest spill in history.

It took 8 months and Red Adairs team to get this under control and it was only in about 200 feet of water.

I guess I remember it since I was living on the South Texas coast at the time watching the oil and tar roll on shore.

Take care and be safe out there! Lock out tag out! ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6433&posts=13 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6433&posts=13 Tue, 6 Jul 2010 16:32:20 -0500

7500 mi on mine & cords were showing on the left side .


At 7,100 the rear tire was showing marked wear on the left side, but not on the right.
What's up with that?


It's called lots of torque. ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6370&posts=19 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6370&posts=19 Mon, 5 Jul 2010 16:35:15 -0500

Haven't heard of anyone making the switch, but aside from a little less storage based on the X bikes bags, what about removing the trunk & installing the color-matched panel & ride it as a street for awhile. You basically have the same bike, with better weather protection, stereo, & the option to put the trunk back on if needed. The whole experiment will cost $100 +/- & you may find that fits the bill perfectly. ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6437&posts=5 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6437&posts=5 Mon, 5 Jul 2010 10:34:37 -0500

I ride my '08 vision most of the time now, but whenever I hop on my RoadGlide I think " damn this thing is small and cramped" The Vision is just more comfortable. ]]> http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6403&posts=9 http://www.Hammer-Riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6403&posts=9 Sat, 3 Jul 2010 16:33:15 -0500

Some shops Insurance companies will not cover them unless Dealer purchase the tires and can prove they did not buy seconds off the Internet.
