My new baby!

Vaquero-in-drive-800x600-med.jpg
Just picked up my new baby last Saturday, got my first 600 miles on her by this Saturday for the first service. Only thing so far I've been able to do is install a PDA holder and the Baggershield - which, by the way, works great! Next weekend I'll be wrapping the pipes. Next up will likely be the throttle-mod and new grips. Maybe then I can start dressing her up a little, but we are a working pair (she is my new commute ride), so function overrides looks. Just like me!
All our vehicles are named. My truck, as you can see, is Big Iron, wife's car in the garage is Hamsie, the Honda Silver Wing that was my ride is Scoot-scoot. My son keeps calling my new squeeze the Batbike, but I'm partial to Midnight. What do you think?

I would love a Vaq, but it will have to wait. Red is my preference.

"Midnight"? How about 'Evening Lady'?

sweet vaquero, you're going to love it, I know I love mine. I don't usually name my vehicles but how about "Dark Shadow"

I want to get a Vaq also. Congrats on the new bike!! Batbike or Dark Shadow both seem to fit pretty good.

Can't take credit, nephew asked everyone what to name his

I thought you would like it as well.
