| | Posted : 30 Aug 2010 - 04:54 Post title : Additional cruiser | | | Last week I've signed the purchase contract for an additional cruiser, a Victory Vegas Jackpot.
Since October 2009, when Victory was starting to distribute their motorcycles in Germany I am
fascinated of it, now the boss (my wife) agreed to it.
I will pick it up at the dealer on Wednesday, definitely I will keep the Tbird beside.

Their quality is less than Triumph, but they do listen to customers. I rode on a year ago in Laughing demo ride. After I got off they asked me about it and I said I would buy the bike as there was too much gearbox noise and lash. They claimed to have fixed both issue with the 2011 models!!

What's the after sales service like?
Are there enough dealers to keep things in momentum?
Oh, oh, oh... And Photographs please
Good luck and I wish you a lot of fun tomorrow...
