The riding apparel was non-traditional: High-heeled shoes and a beautiful dress for her, and a tuxedo (T-shirt, that is) for him.

The occasion? Lew and Julie were getting married at a drive-through Las Vegas wedding chapel on their Victory Hard-Ball. They rode out of the chapel as Mr. and Mrs. Luci, smiling bigger and broader than anyone else at Las Vegas BikeFest 2012.

The couple from San Diego described via the Victory Mailbag how they became Victory riders – and newlyweds:

“In December, 2011, we were in Long Beach, California, for the International Motorcycle Show. We experienced the unveiling of the new Victory Hard-Ball at that time and fell in love with it.

“Fast forward to Arizona Bike Week in April 2012. We experienced four solid days of road testing the Hard-Ball at least once daily, and one day three times. The Victory demo crew was great.

“Fast forward again to July 16, 2012, when we rode off the lot [at Motoworld of El Cajon (CA); bottom two photos] with our new Victory Hard-Ball.

“We rode our Victory to Las Vegas for BikeFest in September 2012, enjoying a great ride the whole way. Having a bit of free time, and loving our bike, we decided to do a drive-thru wedding on our bike and share some of those pics with you.”

Lew and Julie are crazy about one another, and about their Hard-Ball.

“My wife and I love our Victory,” Lew said.

Julie said, “In the past five years together, we've owned six different motorcycles, including this Victory. Our Victory Hard-Ball makes it 21 motorcycles that my husband has owned. In all, our Victory Hard-Ball is both of our favorites.

“Comfort, control, efficiency, and trust in your product are all far above the rest.

“Thank you for making the Victory Hard-Ball the best ride on the market and thank you for giving us a great memory on our bike. We look forward to more great memories in the future.”

Thanks for sharing some photos from your wedding album, Lew and Julie. You two are further proof that with Victory, “Ride One and You’ll Own One.” The Hard-Ball is a fantastic bike. Enjoy.
