Lodi, CA United States | My favorite bartender at my favorite biker bar calls mine a "spaceship." She can call it what ever she wants. When the nostalgic riders tell me "It's not a Harley." I say, "Thank God". And when they ask why I don't ride a Harley, I reply,"because I actually do like to ride." Don't get me wrong, I've ridden most brands of motorcycles and they are all good in their own way. No matter what other people say about your motorcycle, the important thing is how good you feel riding your motorcycle. I feel great on my Vision 8-Ball! |

Not "nowadays" that is how it has been since at least the 70's. This whole "tour" thing is a relatively new term; from the Goldwing/BMW crowd |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | chowdave99 - 2014-04-01 9:27 PM My favorite bartender at my favorite biker bar calls mine a "spaceship." She can call it what ever she wants.

No matter what other people say about your motorcycle, the important thing is how good you feel riding your motorcycle. I feel great on my Vision 8-Ball! Most of the 'old' Vision-Riders have heard this story before. Very shortly after I got my Vision in April, 2008 - I parked among a group of bikes in Horseshoe Bay, BC - across from a bar - that had an outdoor patio. When I came back to the bike, a leather-clad tattooed monster sitting outdoors at the bar YELLED at me: "Hey - is that THING a Motorcycle ??? or a SPACE SHIP ???" .... I yelled back "Thank You !!!" , got on the bike and rode off. That Grunt had given ME the answer: .... My Plate:

Central Illinois | I lover my spaceship. All I need is bubbles from my exhaust and it will be the perfect Jetson-mobile.
All joking aside, I never really see my bike except in a parking lot. The rest of the time I see the controls and the dashboard. |

| They can call it what they want as they are admiring my fancy V shaped tail lights... 
Anyway, I was always taught that jealousy is a self esteem prompted emotion.... Just sayin..

Katy, TX United States | I was given the roadname "Rocketman" for several reasons:
1. I use to lead rides a little to fast for some.
2. My 2013 spaceship
3. I actually use to work in the space industry.
As my cousin, a die hard HD rider said, "it only matters what one person thinks, and that is the owner (may the wife too). Can't go anywhare without looks and questions. Now I get even more looks at night with my Joe Florida LED lights. |
