I never had any problems 'racing' Vics... I can remember a time when my wife and I were riding back on my 08 Ultra from a visit to Guidera HD in Yuba City. Riding down Nicolous Road, (a rural road) this guy on a Vic Vegas comes racing up from behind and we stoped together at a Hwy 70 stop light. He was all in for a race, light turns green, we take off and I 'feather' my throttle to stay about three/four bikes lengths behind him. We stop together at the next light (Hwy 99) and he turns to me and says "Not bad for an American made Victory eh" Light turns green and I crank all the throttle I got in my 131 brutt, pulling the front wheel off in 2nd and 3rd gear, leaving the ole Vic blocks behind...I completely dusted this guy, with my wife behind me laughing her azz off ... We stop at the next intersection and I wait so I can say to the guy "not bad for a one ton boat anchor" but I didn't get a chance, the guy did a u-turn taking off as if 'momma was calling" ... The moral here... Anything is fast if you build em right..
bye the way,, that wasnt you by chance, was it??
First off, I was F'ing with you, all in good fun using the word 'crap' (as I suspected you were F'ing with me). Second, I was talking stock to stock. Third, a 131" should absolutely dust any ordinary cruiser and some sportbikes. And fouth, my bike makes 130+HP... weighs 715 full of fuel... and I drag race it for real, so it wouldn't have been quite that easy.
