Welcome to the Tour!

The plan is a loop of the Majestic South of New Zealand aboard the fabulous Vision and to have a chance to put it through a good tour in testing conditions and properly evaluate the vehicle. Plus we figured it gives a lot of folks an opportunity to see a unique bike and add a little something to the festival. If there’s anything that captures the ‘ornate’ part of the spirit of the Indian better than the Vision - I’d like to ride it. Sweeping valances and organic curves included. It's being fitted with the luxury 'throne' pillion seat and stylin' top box too.

Victory reckon it will stimulate interest in the brand and put their product in front of a lot of people looking at bikes. The unit we’ll be on is the only one of its kind in NZ and is for sale. (Don’t worry we’ll be treating it like our own!)

I reckon I'm incredibly lucky. We'll do our best to give the event, the place, the roads and the machine the coverage it deserves.

We're picking the bike up in Christchurch and heading to Dunedin, the BMC, and then pootling around Fiordland for a few days – weather permitting. Otherwise we'll head over to the other side of the Island

We'll post up any opportunities to view the bike as we confirm them. It will be at all the events at the Burt Munro Challenge.

It’s worth checking out - even if it's just to hear the stereo.

I'll also have some info about the Victory bikes with me and a few KR goodies as well.

When we get to the BMC, results and reports that I can glean on the ground will be posted up here as soon as I can plug in and upload them.

All things going well, the first opportunity to see the bike and say g’day will be in the Octagon in Dunedin at about 8.00pm tomorrow night.

Watch this space!

In styling the bike, Arlen Ness either blacked-out components or chromed them.
