Larry Smith of Colorado is an avid Victory Rider and a long-time, die-hard Polaris rider. He has ridden Polaris snowmobiles forever, and has owned several Victorys so far, including the 2006 Touring Cruiser Deluxe he took to Canada earlier this summer. Here’s his recap of his 2007 rides.

I recently returned from a 4,300-mile ride to British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. What a great ride. If you have not been there, I would recommend the Canadian Rockies. The ‘05 Touring Cruiser Deluxe ran fine. No problem keeping up with the other five Brand X motorcycles.

I have a Victory Vision on order. Wish I would have had it for this ride. I also rode the Baja in March ‘07 to Cabo San Lucas. About 2,300 miles on that ride. Left from Casa Grande, Arizona, where we spend the winter months.

P.S. About the “Animal Bike.” I saw this ‘01 Vic in Gunnison, Colorado. He lives in Gunnison, but I did not get his name. Very different!!!!!!!
