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? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I would love a Vaq, but it will have to wait. Red is my preference.
"Midnight"? How about 'Evening Lady'?

Keep laughing, when they come rolling into your town you'll be moving again. Into one of their containers.

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