Went shopping today
My wife and I decided that it was time to upgrade to a larger bike because we're able to do a little more travelling now . Here in Sask the Vaquero is a hard one to acquire . I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from previous posts and I won't hesitate to ask ... I was very lucky to have spotted this one at the Indian dealership ..... and jumped on this one right away . Picking it up on Saturday . They're putting new tires on it and getting it ready to go . They've also ordered a new door for the saddle bag included in the price of the bike .
Here's my new 2013 1700cc 24000 km Login or Register to Remove Ads |

congratulations on your new ride I think you and your better half will be happy,
I came off a nomad too, the first thing you'll notice is how better it handles,and wants to go fast

Thank-you SB , the next three days are going to be very long ones . Can't wait to get out and see how this one handles . My Boss rides a road glide and says I'll love the frame mounted fairing . I figure it will take a bit of getting use too though . I do remember seeing your nomad that you painted (awesome ) Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Congrats on the new ride!
First thing I had to get used to was the windshield not moving when I turned the bars. Nothing bad, just odd. On windy days, I've come to appreciate it not moving.

Congrats on the new ride. I've ridden several Vaquero's and Voyagers, and yes they do handle better than my 1600,but I like the ride of my 1600 better, just because it fits me better.

... more power , less wind , music etc etc . Hate to see the nomad go but it was time for a change .
