Really? Nice :)

There's actually a Harley Davidson dealership not 10 minutes from where I live. I keep meaning to stroll in and have a nose around...

@jaskc78: I'll admit it looks nicer... I still like the Vision though. I don't care what you say ¬_¬

I'm 17 now ^_^ CBT on sat, then getting a Honda CBR125R the week after, with any luck ;)

I can't believe I wrote Hitchin, total brain fart. I meant to say Hinckley. (We have a forum member who lives in Hitchin.) You're quite a ways from Hitchin, and there's no Triumph factory there! :lol:

Ha, I knew I had never heard of the place XD

@csspostal: Yeah, I went for the Honda. I found a mini review of it in a magazine, which sealed the deal. Thanks for suggesting it ;)

You're welcome. I'm hoping to have enough money to pick up this Go Pro camera. It looks like it takes good pictures.

Put it on the bike and keep a video log as well as a photo log of my bikes life.

Make sure you post some pics when you pick your new ride up.

I was thinking of getting a video camera onto my helmet too... So I could make some YouTube videos and make all my friends even more jealous than they already are ;)

And I will be posting some pics when i get it, don't you worry ;)

everyone i know that rides/has ridden a Vision says they're a very well engineered motorcycle, superbly finished and deceptively agile even for a bike much smaller, let alone a full dress touring bike. and those come from folks on all manner of touring bike, from HD's FLT family to Goldwings to the Kawi Concourse. they also admit that the looks aren't for everyone--and that's why there's so many different motorcycles out there.

i just can't stand the looks of em, and if i'm gonna drop that kinda scratch on a bike i want it to make me happy just lookin' at it.

@csspostal: It is a very nice looking machine, I must say. The more I see pictures of them, the more I want my own :)

@jaskc78: Fair enough... I've always thought the Vision Tour was a very nice looking bike, myself. But yeah, I suppose it is a matter of opinion ;)

@blues2cruise: Actually, it was csspostal that did that... I wouldn't do anything that clever :P

EDIT: Oh yeah... I had my CBT today... I'll have to go again next week, because I was too heavy on the clutch... Damn it. Oh well. The instructors say i was actually very good for someone who's never ridden a Motorcycle before in his life ;)
