Brought My Vaquero Home!
WOW! What a difference from my old 900 model!!!!
I love it!!!!!! I had to get my brain past the "fear" of such a bigger and heavier bike, (almost dumped it once in a shopping parking lot making a tight turn), but by the time I got it home....I was impressed! I couldn't believe all the looks, thumbs up signs and stares I got because of that bike!!!! Now I have to figure out how to use all those switches by my hands!!!! ![]() ![]() Login or Register to Remove Ads |

That is a good looking bike! If I didn't ride two up with my wife always I would have bought one of those! That blue looks really sharp.

That is a BEAUTIFUL bike, I can't wait to see a blue one in person. I see in the picture that you have already discovered one of the biggest problems with the vaquero....keeping the smile off of your face :)

Aw shucks....thank you everybody for the nice compliments!
I still can't believe this morning that I own that pretty bike!!!!! Since I already had ordered the ipod connection kit, we were able to hook that right up. I am AMAZED at how easy it is to use! I love that I can change songs and volume right there with the same buttons that I use for the radio!!!! (Remember, I am coming off of a 900!) As for the "windshield"..... ![]() My face was beat up from the wind and my ponytail in knots by the time we got home!!!! ![]() Fortunatley, my new one has been shipped and I should have it this week |
