Michael Dapper is a writer and communications professional who was a Polaris employee when the company first discussed entering the motorcycle business. He was there when race car driver Al Unser Jr. rode into the spotlight on a pre-production V92C in 1997. The day the brand died, Michael received a personal call from the corporate office. As a freelance writer, Dapper wrote all forms of brand communications for Victory throughout its 20-year run. He also worked for the brand at rallies and events nationwide. He has ridden versions of every Victory production model and has completed seven Iron Butt rides on Victory models--including the High-Ball.
