following my second major op on the knee; there was a very real possibility I would end up with extremely limited bend, I looked at the "feet forward" choices available.

I had a two hour test ride on a Victory 8 ball

Was impressed by the build quality and modern aspects of the bike, defiantly no harley clone, bit weird riding position and mini roundabouts are something else, but given time I reckon I could live with one.

Fortunately things went better than expected and I didn't need to go in that direction.

Cheers Mark.
