My new Victory. aka My ode to TN
« on: September 05, 2017, 05:47:22 PM »

I have always been a fan of TN's "drunk bike" concept, and so I've spent the last few years keeping my eye out for the right bike that would cover the needs of being a quality touring bike, fun to ride, and really nice to look at.  Oh, and most importantly be easy on the wallet for a poor Missouri country boy.

My search ended a couple of week ago when I picked up this Victory Ness Magnum.

I first noticed this bike during the NMIM back in early June.  It was part of the last remaining Victorys at the Rogers Indian dealership.  And after several weeks of negotiating, compromise, and in the end pleading, I finally wore the wife down to the point where she never said "yes", but she quit saying "no."   :cherry:

This Magnum is #31 of ???  I'm not really sure how many Victory ended up building.  According to limited research (trolling Victory message boards) it seems as though right around 300 were produced.

I have started calling the bike Elmo (to go along with Kermit), but my daughter said that was stupid and I should name it Animal.  What do you guys think?

To help sweeten the deal on the bike, the dealership basically added every accessory they had left, plus whatever they could get from other dealers, including tri-oval exhaust, cams, and hi-flow air filter.  And they installed everything for free.

Very nice looking ride.  Surely,  "one of a kind" with that paint job.

Hope you enjoy it for many years to come. :apple:

I gotta be honest, I'd give up both bikes to check the smoothness of Phoebe Cates butt.  Just sayin...

Travis - that is the best Victory by far I have ever seen (a picture of)!  Fairing looks good even!  Ride and enjoy, looks like you got a heckuva deal.  :2vrolijk_21: 

Considering Phoebe Cates and all, maybe name it "Fast Times".

Nice looking ride. I have a friend that has a Cross Country with 160k and still going without rebuilding. At least no worries about lifters. lol Enjoy :drink:
