Old time motorcycle manufacturing and testing. Back when men were men and things were made by hand (mostly).
I noticed a lack of gaskets during the build. Maybe I missed them, or maybe thats why it smokes so much.
hope this you tube video works


If it doesn't work you can find the video here:

Yes, I am in motorcycle mode.
:ok :mrgreen:

ETA
I just found out Polaris is discontinuing the Victory Motorcycle line to concentrate on the Indian MC line and the Slingshot three wheel car thing.
Sad to see but I was not a fan of the Victory styling.

Perhaps someone else kind find it, but I used to have a link to a video on how Triumph motorcycles are build, including the clown who put in the fun. All very nice.

later edit--I found it. Wikipedia said with was produced by the company as a spoof marketing tool.
