Default Pics of my new Victory Cross Country

I took her for her first extended ride today and all I can say is wow. The handling is very impressive for such a large motorcycle. It feels as nimble as my Boulevard did but there is loads more power. I was really missing my heel shifter though as I kept trying to shift with it but it wasn't there to shift with. Very awkward to say the least. The heel shifter will be something i'll be adding very soon. The highway pegs, cruise control and radio are all very nice to have and the bike looks and sounds great. Next sunny day after our storm passes I'm taking her on a nice long ride.

I think she would look great in any driveway....

I washed it and waxed it today right before I took the pictures. I beat the rain by just a few minutes. I wish the weather was nicer so I could ride it....

I would say that unless you're ready to buy one you're probably better off staying away from them. Like I said in my other post I was almost 100% dead-set on a H-D Road King and on a whim decided to check out the Victory. I was sold as soon as I started looking at them. I test rode some Harley's and I like the Victory a lot more.
