How many beer can you fit in a Vaquero ??

My apologies for posting this here. JD if you need to move this I understand, It would not post on Vids.

So any way I had a discussion with Blockhead (utube) and he thought the GoldZilla could carry more beer than the Vaquero. I disagreed and Filmed it. Keep in mind this was for fun and no money was exchanged, LOL

Pretty awesome, Mike! Had a similar "bet" with a friend with his new CVO HD a few years ago. He lost. I drank beer for free.

I do not think it is so much the size but the shape to fit the cans

Now that's amazing! Just think if you also had a kickstand on the right side of the bike to fill the left saddlebag

Afterthought, put the front wheel in a chock so it sets straight up. Then you can double your capacity by using the left side as well!

I think it should be added as a pit stop for the Baggers racing league. Mid race everyone comes in and loads the most beers in the least time, then back out of the track.

Well done!!

Couple things stick out: those bags are rated for what, 15 pounds? I think you exceeded that! and, you sure did rip open those boxes with authority. You look experienced
