Sold to Sonny Barger - do not touch ...
The Arlen Ness shop and dealship is just down the street from my house we we stop by there a lot on the weekends before or after motorcycle trips. The other day they had an all blacked out Victory Vision on the showroom floor with a big sign "sold to Sonny Barger", please do not touch ...
I know that Sonny and Arlen are friends from back when. They both become icons in the motorcycle world.
A few weeks later the bike was gone from the showroom. Arlen's brother Kevin told me that Sonny called Arlen 2 days after he got the bike and said "Arlen, I have been riding motorcycles for 52 years, this is the best motorcycle I have ever ridden ...".
I wasn't too surprised to see another Victory Vision in Arlen's showroom the other day sold to another club member.

bastid, 8 months ago | FlagCan you blame the guy for choosing an excellent riding machine? The new Victory models are obviously a riding persons scooter of choice when you are talking about comfort power & style,with
emphasis on style.!!! Tho I am sure some sport guys would disagree,a s Ducati makes some visually stunning bikes :) I have met Arlen and was impressed by the guy,he is one sharp blade and I am not surprised in the slightest at his success in pursuing his dreams and vision for motorcycli ng in general.N yes I do know of Sonny,& his history yet why shouldnt he be able to buy what he likes rite?
