Sonny Barger on a Vision?

Why have all of these pictures of sonny on a Victory Vision been popping up lately? Did he trade in his Harley days for a better bike or what... I don't know never been on one but what does this say for Harley, or Victory for that matter?

From an interview with Sonny:

Well I don't think I've ever said anything good about Honda; what I said is Harleys are junk, technology wise. If I was not a Hells Angel I would probably be riding an ST1100, a BMW or a Triumph. But I am a Hells Angel so I ride a Harley, and the one good thing I can say about Harleys is they made me a good living; by being junk they need to be fixed all the time.

Also say's it in his book....to each his own. Ride what you like...the key word here is ride!

Sonny was a Fan of Sportsters I am Still .. So if He wishes to ride a Victory more power to him...

Proportionally those jugs look like they are 2 feet high. Tell me it aint so, I hate to get rid of all my Harley t-shirts. Looks like clip art to me.

forums first trool, is that a trolling tool?

and with all the help Sonny had with his recreational activities, he probably has a distorted view of what ugly is.

A neighbor of mine had dinner with Arlen Ness not long ago. Arlen told him that Sonny has a Vision.
Photo may not be real but I suspect the story is true.

The sun appears to be coming from the upper right corner or behind him, but the shadows would mean the sun is on his right and slightly ahead of him.

I don't really care either way, but I would say that is a photoshop pic.

If this is true (http://community.cruisercustomizing....199/22960.html) then I would have to say the other picture is also.
