I do find the suspension stiffer than the FZ but I think for me the main improvement is the riding position, I have gorilla arms so I end up sitting very upright on the bike versus locking my arms out with the FZ or leaning over
NEVER will I give up riding (regardless of back pain) but the Victory still keeps that sporty style I like but is way more comfortable... or so I hope, we will find out once there is a good weekend here in VA for me to put some miles on.
Well it was a good year of ownership but after developing tendonitis in my wrist and my ongoing dealing with intervertebral disk syndrome I needed to move on to something a little more upright... So as of this weekend I am the proud owner of a 2009 Victory Hammer

which Arai is this closest to the shape of the evoline? I was interested in picking up one of these but there arent any dealers around here for me to try it out, i wear the Arai Profile, long oval shape but there is the occasional helemt that fits me regardless of shape. Thanks for any info
Re: Bike Week NH (Update)
Hey guys I just wanted to chime in and apologise for missing out on the Sat ride too... this has been the week from hell for me... so much for a nice vacation. I was stuck in burlington VT picking up my buddy's sister and about 10 miles out of Burlington a fantastic...
hey guys so if you dont see a FZ with VA plates by 0910 and a bad ass v-star go on without us... we just got back form a rough night at the Broken Spoke in the Weirs while we plan on being there at 0900 i dont want you guys to wait up for us... we are def in for sat ride.
like i said I will likely be good for a saturday ride too... assuming i dont get too drunk the night before and that I havent procrastinated on my homework either. I plan to check out the weirs before hand so I am open to whatever else people want to do, so I am not opposed to checking out the...
Im there on both days... well 95% sure unless I get roped into doing something with family I havent seen in years (trying to keep my trip as quiet as possible) let me know when and where you want to meet and I will be there.
If you are talking the center portion of the fender that goes in between the pipes (both plastic part and the metal bracket) mine too is touching the pipes but going on 1 month with the pipes and 600 miles and no issues the plastic seems to not be fazed by the pipes heating up... i felt the...
If you get the craving try looking to see where you can get an E-Cigarette... it has helped me. check out electronicstix.com for an idea of what there are but they atomize liqiud with nicotine in it to give you the nicotine and the sensation of smoking, and you can step down the nicotine dosage...
sounds good to me, let pick a meeting place a time, we can worry about the route later... or the day of :)
If anyone else is riding during the week let me know I gave up my time off for riding over SCUBA so you better believe I am getting the most riding out of this trip as I can... that and...
I am actually originally from Belmont NH so I know the area pretty well and will be crashing between my parents place and where ever else I end up with friend. I hear you on avoiding the miles of harleys so I am up for anything, I have never had a bike while living in NH so I would be interested...
Cant tell very well from the angle ad shadow but it looks like the grip to a Police issue baretta 92 or 94... definately not a Glock. That said if he is a federal cop many agencies require them to carry all the time, and as far as leaving it in the car... I would much rather my weapon on me than...
Just thought I would post up some pictures of the winter/spring mods. Thank god for nice weather so I can start riding to work, my Jeep SRT is going through a 1/4 tank every day....
I actually completely removed the front turn signals, the pods a set up as flashers and running lights... they...
You shouldnt have to pay VAT since it is not being sold within the country.... when I lived in the UK (US Military) we were given VAT exemptions, so I would ask the company about it they probably dont charge VAT if its leaving the country.
anyone in the NOVA area up for a ride this saturday? I am thinking about heading up tin Winchester to the Duc Pond Motorsports (dacati, MV and Aprillia) dealership and check out their open house oogle a few bikes I cant afford and then get lost on the way home, maybe hit the Mount Weather road...
