bigramfan 09-21-2008, 08:36 AM I bought a left over 07 Jackpot with the factory custom paint in August. I too was a crotch rocket guy but my back isn't into riding them anymore. I love my Jackpot. I love the way it looks and rides. I actually have people pulling me over to ask me about the bike. I live in Hawaii and there are no dealerships out here (I bought the bike in AZ and shipped it to Hawaii). The dealership in Sierra Vista, AZ was awesome and went way out of there way to get my business. They even looked for transport companies with quotes to Hawaii.
I had the stage 1 kit with the swept exhaust put on as soon as I bought it. I just bought the front LED turn signals and future mods include the Radius Primary sidemount license plate, and rear LED turn signals. I am also going to debadge the bike and paint graphics where the badges use to be. Another futre mod is going to be the air ride kit. Any ever instal one on a victory before?
I am not sure if there are any victory bikes here in Hawaii but if there are please holler back at me. The nice thing about living in Hawaii is you can ride all year round, it stays in the mid 80's. :D
Here is a link with the mods I am buying...tell me what you think?

rdmiran 12-18-2008, 02:14 AM was on google trying to find other Victory riders on Oahu... and found this forum. I have a 2007 Vegas premium with stage 1 hacker ripper pipes I installed along with a AMS fuel module. Runs great and ride every day to work. Like to meet up with other Victory riders and do a ride around the island...
bigramfan 12-20-2008, 05:30 PM We should meet up for a cruise before the new year. See if we can find more victory bikes on the island. BTW, I bought and installed the rear hidden LED's and the radius side mounted license plate. If anyone on the island needs help putting one of these kits on their bike give me a yell.
rdmiran 12-21-2008, 05:14 AM I'm free all this week so lets ride...when an where you want to meet?...I live in Mililani.
bigramfan 12-23-2008, 05:08 AM I live on Tripler. Let's go riding on Friday. I emailed you my number.

The Deuce 12-26-2008, 10:38 PM Gents,
I live in Kailua and happened to be on duty today when I joined and saw this forum. Wish I could ride today, but it's great to see other owners out here. I'm definately down to ride the next time.
bigramfan 12-26-2008, 11:38 PM Deuce,
We didn't go today because of the high winds and incoming rain. Myself and rdmiran are looking to try to go next week when the weather is more favorable. When are you free to ride next week.
DJ
bigramfan 12-26-2008, 11:39 PM Deuce,
what kind of Victory to you ride?
DJ
rdmiran 12-27-2008, 03:04 PM Whats up Deuce, glad to hear another Victory rider on the island ...we can all meet up when the weather clears...I can ride almost anytime next week....
rhogue 12-29-2008, 09:42 PM You guys are all making me sick! I would love to join you, but unless you want to make a trip to St. Louis, I will have to pass. :p
I would have been able to ride today but I am waiting for my bike. . .had to settle for golf instead.
bigramfan 12-29-2008, 10:49 PM HAHA, life is good here in Hawaii...you can't beat the constant 85 degrees all year round! Congrats on your new bike. Lets see some pics of it.
rhogue 12-29-2008, 10:52 PM I would love to post pics, but unfortunately, it's still in the box. The Victory dealership by my house is closed until after the new year. . .I should pick it up next week or the week after, depending on weather.
I will certainly get pics ASAP.
The Deuce 12-31-2008, 12:29 PM Hey sorry about taking so long, and any day this weekend is workable.
I have an 2006 8 ball and my vote is this. I say on Sat at noon we meet at Kemoo Bar and Grill by Schofield Barracks. That's simply based on Google Maps, it's right as H2 ends and 99 begins. Any takers?
rdmiran 12-31-2008, 09:15 PM Deuce count me in I can only meet up for a few hours but I will see you at High noon, Kemoo is not far from my home...just hope the weather is clear ...DJ hope you can make it...
bigramfan 12-31-2008, 11:07 PM Right now I don't think I can make it. I am suppose to go four wheeling Saturday. Not sure I can go four wheeling since my transfer case is messed up from the last outing. I might be able to go later around 2pm maybe. I'll let you guys know on Friday afternoon. rdmiran and I went for a ride today, it was good to meet you Ramon. I will try to go Saturday or meet up with you guys later.
DJ
rdmiran 01-01-2009, 12:50 AM Hey DJ it was good to meet you to...I got home just in time... half hour later and it just poured...the gulch we took going to my home was flooded out. it's still closed as of 7:30 our time...I got a couple of pics I took in the garage. nice to see a couple of Victories side by side (rare thing in Hawaii). My boys really liked your Jackpot...hope things change and the weather clears for Saturday, It will be fun Riding, with an 8 ball and Jackpot, gee all we need is a hammer and a kingpin then we can have a parade... Mission accomplished we got to ride before the end of the year...."Happy New Year" Guys, stay safe...
The Deuce 01-02-2009, 01:25 PM I'm not apposed to bumping to it 2 if you guys would like.
rdmiran 01-02-2009, 03:45 PM works for me but will need to get back by 5PM have a date with the wife...DJ dose this work for you?
bigramfan 01-03-2009, 05:13 AM Hey guys,
that works for me I am leaving Peacock flats around noon so I will meet up with you guys at 2. If you guys want to meet up earlier give me a call and we can link up somewhere else.
DJ
The Deuce 01-03-2009, 01:08 PM Alright sounds like 2 is the better time. I will be there.
rdmiran 01-04-2009, 03:02 AM DJ...Deuce... It was great riding with you both today...I posted a picture of our bikes in the gallery...DJ I sent you a few and Deuce if you can send me your e mail I send you the pics I took today...Thanks guy's and stay safe

bigramfan 01-05-2009, 04:13 AM Deuce and Ramon, great ride yesterday was fun getting three of the four Victory's (that we know of) on Oahu for a ride. Looks like we can plan on doing it again in Feb. Can't wait for that ride. I got the pics thanks. I'll send out the ones I took on my phone once I figure it out.
DJ
The Deuce 01-06-2009, 02:04 AM Hey Gents,
That was the best ride I've had since on island. Ramon, thanks again for all the tools/help. I say we do a similar ride next time, but we eat first before we roll.
rdmiran 01-07-2009, 12:58 AM Deuce did your red light problem go away?
bigramfan 01-07-2009, 02:25 AM Deuce, sounds like a plan. I say we start earlier and do a ride around the island.
rdmiran 01-07-2009, 12:16 PM OK with me we can fuel up on breakfast fuel up the bikes and around the island we go...:D
Makini7 01-09-2009, 08:40 PM Great to see other Victory riders out in Hawaii. Let me know the next time you get together to ride...
rdmiran 01-09-2009, 09:13 PM right on...your welcome to join us the next time we ride. and if your in Mililani and want to ride let me know. I can meet up with you.
rdmiran 01-26-2009, 07:19 PM Well Gents: Feb is around the corner time to make plans for our round the Island ride...Makini7, DJ, Duece and any one else who would like to join us...lets get some ideas...
bigramfan 01-30-2009, 07:29 AM I should be back from Korea around 10 Feb. I don't think I should go for a ride on the weekend of the 15th, cause my wifey might get mad since she hasn't seen me in over a month. Lets plan something on the weekend of 21 -22 Feb. Is that going to be a problem with any of you guys? I say we go have breakfast around honolulu then ride up the Kam from South to North and get plate lunch at Giovanni's (near Kahuku). Of course making various stops during the day.
Heck if we plan it right we can have breakfast where the Harley riders go and show off our rides, lol!
I would like to see if two of my friends (non vic riders) would like to join us if that is cool.
DJ
rdmiran 01-30-2009, 12:23 PM Not a problem with me...21 or 22 is fine...
The Deuce 02-02-2009, 10:23 PM Both days work great for me. Bring the friends.
rdmiran 02-02-2009, 11:30 PM I got to ride with Makini7 this past Saturday, we went to north shore and turned around at Wiamea, it wasn't a long ride but I got to meet this fine gent and his beautiful black jackpot...great license plate Noland...so thats 4 Vic's so far...I 'll keep searching for more...
bigramfan 02-20-2009, 11:33 PM Lets ride this Sunday. Who's in?
DJ
rdmiran 02-20-2009, 11:41 PM I have a few others that will meet up with us Sunday morning at big city diner in Aiea across from Pali Momi hospital 8:00AM...
Makini7 02-22-2009, 02:04 AM See you all @ 8 tomorrow!

BDiddy 03-17-2009, 12:39 PM Looks like the site has been hi-jacked by spammers...
I can't believe the administrators havent done anything yet to alleviate all the spam.
If I were a paying member I would be pissed...
rdmiran 03-17-2009, 12:54 PM block or delete the post by spammers....:D
