From 1 American marque to another.

Well it's done and dusted now,last Saturday I traded my much loved and cherished Buell Ulysses in for a 2010 Victory Cross Country,to say I am impressed is probably a tad early yet,but the signs are way more than promising ,the Buell has been a fantasic journey and to meet the man who founded,built and ran Buell Motorcycles but times are a changing,my wife has been unable to ride the beast for some time due to medical conditions,so I made the decision (which was rather easy )to test ride the Victory range.

I firstly rode the Highball.yeah it was good but was not going to be pillion friendly,next came the Boardwalk (loved it) but still not fully pillion friendly,after that I really wanted to try the Hardball,but due to all the bikes being sold,I took the 2010 Cross Country for a run,to say I was impressed was an under statement,we bought the damn thing and traded the old Buell in for a comfy ride,now all we have to do is get more miles under our seats and start to love this bike like I loved my old Buell.

I will try to get used to this blogging thing and as we do some trips I'll put them down,a big thankyou goes to John "Blacky"Black,he and I have been bantering on facebook for the last 12 months or so,so I blame Blacky now for anything I may do in the not to distant future...............onya Blacky!

Enjouy gettin old peeps,I know I am.

Hiya Phil, good to see you here and as you know I hold deep regards and respect for things Eric Buell(specially the hd FXR, loved 'em).

Really didn't predict you as a X-country buyer but age dictates a grocery hauler hey ;)

Mate you'll get years of trouble free enjoyment now, cheers Phil.

P.S: You can throw away the toolkit.

Good move Phil, you and your Wife will love it! Buell's are cool! But Victory's Rock! You'll never turn back! Don't worry to much about blogging but get into the the groups, start with the "Victory motorcycle owners Australian & New Zealand riders Network" that way you can comment and chat with other Victory owners etc then you can move into some of the other groups with Victory Nutters its all good fun man! Enjoy your ride!
