Yep, there's no Chinese made officially licensed t-shirts, or key chains, or bar and shield underwear, or anything else that doesn't have to do with the actual motorcycling experience... That's left for the Milwaukee based make-believe...
Oh, I forgot, speaking of accessories and whatnot... Why do Harley riders need to have chrome on all their parts? It makes them easier to spot on the side of the road.... heh

Hi Cheriann, it's been a while since I've seen you here. Welcome back !
I know you were kicking around the idea of getting a Nomad a while back. I think I even remember sending you Nomads off of Craigslist for you to consider. So now you've decided on the Vaquero eh. What a great looking bike. From everything I've read it's a solid ride and I haven't heard anyone say,.... "I don't really like it" What's not to like! If I had the money and could still keep my Nomad, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. As I remember, your husband pulls a trailer for the two of you {but I'm sure his stuff fits in his saddle bags.} So you don't really need the Voyager with the tour pack. I think the Vaquero has pretty much all the same bells and whistles if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure you're going love it ! Let us know how you/"hubby" makes out and be sure to post a picture of you and the bike. Don't be such a stranger and stay in touch here. We have a ton of new members now but a lot of the old faces are still around.

My number one reason for not buying HD is my ego isn't big enough. Definitely not enough to waste on non-believers. ;)
BTW jokes are jokes

I don't take it seriously. I can take kidding as well as anyone, but I get pissed when people just make sh*t up. Facts are facts, the Vaquero accessory catalog is 15 pages long. I'm not making that up.

92% of all statistics are made up anyhow.

You're right...I dreamed and drooled of owning a Nomad for the past few years. The money wasn't right at the time. Now we have a chance financially to do this, but now I have more choices!!!! I really like the Vaquero...besides, Chaz is secretly hoping I will think it is too much bike for me and trade him the Vaquero for his Nomad!!! NO WAY!! Oh, and you are correct....he pulls a trailer behind his Nomad for MY luggage, so I don't need the Voyager extras!!! |

Hey CJ
I know you are a big fan of the HD endless accessories because you mention it frequently but I guess I am wondering what the value in that really is? Any time I have needed a part or accessory for my Nomad I have been able to find or get it easily so I don't see the advantage to the expansive HD catalog? If I needed parts every day or week maybe it would be an issue but buying a few a year is easy. Now maybe there is a bunch of stuff I don't want or need but if I want chrome, bigger windshields, horns, seats, accessory mounts, lowers, fender bibbs, emblems, lights, clocks, white walls, backrests, gauges, fuel processors, exhaust pipes, trunks, cruise control, replacement parts, etc for my Nomad they can all be found with a couple clicks. They may not be in one neat little catalog but they are easy to find. I assume many of the HD parts still need to be ordered and obviously most of them are made by someone other than HD and HD just puts their name on them...So why is the catalog such a big feature? I know you have owned both a Nomad and an HD so you have experience with both. Not looking for comparison in the bikes because they are different price points. Everytime you bring up the accessory issue I just scratch my head and ask "why is that such a big deal?". So I guess I need to ask you the question.

Can't really add anything already said, but just wanted to give another endorsement from a happy Vaquero owner. Good luck and ENJOY your new ride!
