Victory Motorcycles is bringing in a truckload of bikes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandprixmotorsports.com\/\">Grand Prix Motorsports<\/a>, down at 3105 W. County Line Road, in Littleton, and they&#8217;re offering demo rides. Oh boy, a chance to ride some new bikes! Count me in.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, they&#8217;ll be around on Saturday as well, so if you have to be in the office on Friday you can still get out there and try out some bikes on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>I did some test rides on some Victorys a couple years ago, when I was down at the Laughlin River Run. I was surprised how much I liked the Kingpin. It was a very good-looking bike, sat low, and the reach to the foot and hand controls was comfortable. I&#8217;m not a cruiser guy but if I had unlimited storage space and unlimited cash I could see owning one.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one of the things I like about doing demo rides. You never know when you&#8217;ll test ride a bike and find that it is wonderful. And you also might get to find out that the bike you&#8217;ve been developing a hankering for is maybe not so well suited to you and your style of riding as you thought. Nothing beats a test ride.<\/p>\n<p>So if you see me at Grand Prix tomorrow, say hi.
