Still can’t get over how cool the Vaquero is. Always a pleasure to ride along buddy! Two damn good looking bikes! At least you aren’t getting rained on!
✊👍💯
Yeah that day was windy as hell but no rain…but we’ve had a shit ton since. Looking forward to maybe getting another ride in with Vito and others maybe. Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@GoofyBastard you too buddy
“Goody bastard” 😂 Love it! The Vaquero is seriously getting into my head as an upgrade option from my Vulcan S. Great vid dude 🤘
Good to see fellow Vulcaneers riding and fellowshiping together. Let the good times roll...
It was a good time that day. There were supposed to be others joining us but never happened. Thanks for watching
Nice ride out Goofy. Those bikes look great and I love the sound 👌🏼
Thank you!!! It was definitely a nice ride with a super nice guy!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Nice to meet you, Vito...glad you could get out and ride with another Vaquero rider!
Vito is a really cool guy!! Looking forward to getting together with him again and do some riding!!
Always nice meeting up with folks for a ride. Looks like a great fall ride and great pic🤙🤙.
It sure is. While I enjoy riding by myself, it’s always fun to meet new people and ride with them!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
Really like the bars you put on that. Vaquero is my dream bagger. Cool helmet too!!
The Vaquero is an awesome bike. I’m so happy I bought it. Thanks for watching and the kind words!!!
What cool pictures!! Glad you didn't drop your phone this time!!
You and me both!!! That was a pin in the ass last time!!!
I've never really seen a Vaquero in the wild. I have to say the white is sharp! Eric
Thanks Eric, for the most part I really don’t see many of them in the wild either. Thanks for watching and stay safe
L12 👍, wow what a console 👍, always nice to meet up with other riders 😊. Nice convo and ride, stay blessed and safe on two wheels, a new friend and fellow motovlogger Traveller MIA 🇬🇧, stay in touch brother 👍😉
It always is nice to be able to get together with new riders. It was a good day!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Cool pictures right there. Bikes look awesome. Ride safe brother 👊👍🇺🇸
I took a few more pictures that I think I posted on Instagram. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That cobblestone is cool. Hope we can get out your way next year and actually meet up with you...would love to see Valley Forge!
I would love if you guys were to come out here and we could meet up!! That would be so awesome!!!
I really like both bike colors... 💚❤💗 I also like the sound of the Vaquero!! 👂👂 Nice mini meet up! 👍👍
Thank you!!! Yeah we were hoping for a bigger one…maybe next time!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Looked like you guy's had a good ride, and you got some pretty cool pictures right there too brother💯👊🏽😎
Yes, Vito is a really cool guy. We had a lot in common actually. There were more pics that I probably should’ve snuck into the video too…but I suck as a RUclipsr!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@GoofyBastard you don't suck brother, trust me, you don't
@@OZARKSHDRIDERS thanks brother…I appreciate it
@@GoofyBastard no prob brother👍🏽
Those are 2 cool bikes, something that I've never considered before...I may need to find a local one to check out in person
I love mine and can’t say enough good things about them. But they have their downfalls as well. If you do get a chance to check one out please let me know what you think. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That's awesome vidz with a great bike. Nice vidz bro. Keep it up and more vidz to come. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS
Thanks for the kind words bro and thanks so much for watching and stay safe!!!
Good ride, sure looks a bit different this time of year.
Yes it sure does!! It was a good ride!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Big like 👍 22 and subscribed! Awesome video and channel my friend! 🏍
Thanks for all the nice words!!! It is truly appreciated!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Yep, I saw him! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy for as long as you can this season and stay safe! 💜
When I was editing I was hoping he showed up at least once in the mirror!!! Lol
Always loved the look of yours, but that other colour is great too! ✌️
Totally agree! That maroon/burgundy color is awesome!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
What up Goofy. Good on you man for trying to get a meetup going. Hope more turn out for it in the future for ya.
Hoping to get another one going soon. It would be cool if more turn out, but Vito was a great guy to ride with!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
I love those handlebars.
They definitely are comfortable! Thanks for watching!!!
Seen a 2020 one of these in the flesh last summer & didn't even know Kawasaki done such a bike! 👍😎
They are nice bikes (not just saying that cause I have one). My opinion, best bang for the buck. Thanks for checking out the video!!!
@@GoofyBastard You just popped up on my suggestions list yesterday & then when I tuned into Kode Grey today, there you were being talked about!!! 😉👍
I can imagine you've had some stick off the Harley owners before, but probably no where near as much as I get on my 125cc's!!! 😂👍
@@johndiehardmclean23 Kode Grey is a good guy!!! In all honesty I don’t get a lot from the Harley guys. Most of the guys I used to ride with are Harley guys. Now you’ll get the occasional one but for the most part it’s pretty chill.
@@GoofyBastard As a viewer from waaaaay far away across the pond...I still occasionally picture the whole "Hells Angels" scene in the states, in my head sometimes, although I actually feared for KG's life on 1 of his vids, when he went to a Harley meet on a Honda!!! 😮🤣👍
Ride safe dude! 👍😎
Gas station air compressors are the bane of my existence. That combined with Kawasaki putting the valve stem in the absolute tightest area on the Z900rs rim. Can’t wait to get new tires just so I can switch to 90* valve stems.
I was so dumb, I should’ve checked those tires before I left instead of finding out I have a little low pressure when I felt it. But yes, those gas station air pumps suck. Not only are they difficult to use…but $1.50 for air!!! Crazy!!! I should’ve gotten a 90° stem on the front when I got my tires changed out. Thanks for watching and stay safe
I ride mine on a State Hi-way that's under "construction" over the past month ( Rte 101, cheese grater pavement, paved/partially paved) and onto an Interstate (I-95), at night. I work 3rd shift, over 18yrs. One of the reasons I like working 3rd shift, low traffic, less hassles. Bought it this year (22'), 21' Vulcan 1700 Vaquero, 1mi on the odometer when delivered, over 700mi now in June. New England Weather isn't exactly known for being great (don't like the weather, wait a minute). Mine's dark metallic grey w/maroon graphics. Handles great on the messed up pavement.
Congratulations on the bike!! That color is really nice!! These bikes can really eat up the miles. I know about working that overnight shift. Been doing it for the better part of 25 years. Good luck with the Vaquero!!! They really are great bikes!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
I've had a couple meetups end up with only a couple of us. It happens. You guys still had a good time so thats what counts.
Yeah it was definitely a good time. He’s a really nice guy so that definitely helps!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Nice ride
Thanks for watching and stay safe
Very nice goofy! Local dealer had one and I sat on it. I had to walk away before doing something stupid to put me further in debt hahah.
You should’ve taken it for a ride…might have liked it!!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Nice bike dude lovely sounding 🤘🇬🇧🤘
Thanks I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!!
Stay safe.
Thanks Larry…you do the same my friend!!!
I have a 2012 and 2014 Victory Cross Roads and Cross Country. My 2012 Cross Roads broke down and now it's a parts bike for the Cross Country. I'm considering the Kawasaki Voyager or Vaquero.
@@2302em I looked at one of the Victory touring bikes when I was looking back in 2017. Wound up buying the Vaquero instead. I was very happy with the Vaquero and I would definitely own one again. You can get some great deals on one. Personally for a bagger, I feel they are the best bang for the buck!!! Thanks for watching and good luck!!!
Looks like you too had a good ride 👍
Was that the Limerick Wawa that we met up? You're right - seems like Wawa is the Goto meetup spot for this area.
Yes it was a great ride that day!! That was the King of Prussia Wawa that we started and ended at. It surely seems that Wawa is the spot to be!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Hi Vito, I'm a Kawasaki rider,as well. AS @Goofy Bastard knows, I love the Vaquero especially in white! Ride safe
My fellow Vulcaneer!!! Love the white too!!
@@GoofyBastard 👊🏼
Man I would love to join you guys but im little farther south, Jacksonville Fl , I ride 2016 , I love the video man , great view👍
I think at this point it might be better for us to join you. You’re probably having better weather there then what we have here. Love the 2016’s….the white looks so great!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Very nice! I like the Kawi’s quite a bit. My bro-in-law owns a 2016 Vulcan Voyager. I’m a fan of these bikes except for the boring paint schemes. (Sorry, just my opinion. It would be nice if Kawasaki offered multiple choices in color options each year, instead of one). He just had the Ivan tune done on his bike. He said it’s like a new machine.
They are great bikes! No need to apologize for your opinion, I agree with you. There are 2 things IMO that would seriously help this bike. 1 Kawasaki needs to update it. It’s been over 10 years of really nothing but color change. 2 aftermarket help. Like I said, just my opinion. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Have you done the IVAN ECU flash yet? The power gain and torque are insane. Also, it really smooths out the throttle and makes 6th gear usable. It's a must do for these bikes!
I never did the Ivan’s Flash unfortunately. I’m not exactly sure why I never did it. I have heard some great things about it…and I have also heard some bad as well, but definitely more good things. Unfortunately I no longer have the Vaquero, but if I get another one in the future, Ivan’s is definitely gonna be first!! Thanks for watching
Ya I just noticed you bought a Harley you stinking traitor LOL just kidding. I like all bikes. My Voyager checks all the boxes for me SO FAR. haha never a perfect bike is there. @@GoofyBastard
@@douglashawkins4402 the Vaquero/Voyager is a great platform of a bike. I would definitely own another one. I figure that if I’m gonna trash talk Harley as much as I do, I should at least own one at some point.
Let's get some Vaqueros together next year and ride out west
Sounds like a plan!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
I've been to Valley Forge, twice. The history is just incredible and what they endured and lived through is just amazing. Have you been to Washington's Crossing? That Bridge; the metal grated bridge there is by far the narrowest bridge I have ever been onwith 2 way traffic.
I have t been there yet. But Valley Forge is a very beautiful place. I’m hoping to do a video on it soon. Gonna try a little off bike recording(something I suck at). Thanks for watching and for all the support!! Stay safe!
@@GoofyBastard ride across that bridge, then walk it and record it; it will make a great video
@@Wind.Road.Therapy might have to do that
@@GoofyBastard cool 😎
Vito, your bike in red looks beautiful!
That red does look great!!
@@GoofyBastard 🔥
The invisible go-pro.....😉the next big thing...😝
Thanks for watching and stay safe
Nice bike
The Vaqueros are really nice bikes!!! Thanks for watching
Wanna do another Vaquero meet-up in August. I'm taking 2 weeks and heading to Cali on Hyw. 90.
That sounds like a helluva road trip!!! Yeah we could shoot for a meetup in August. But seriously have a blast on that trip!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Can you tell me the rise and where to find your handlebars. Great vid
@@donnyayers1460 the bars that I had on my Vaquero were JSR 11 1/2” fat bars. I ordered through EBay but when I just looked at the link I posted with the handlebar video…it didn’t work. Thanks for watching
@@GoofyBastard Thanks for the info. Ride on Brother.
@@donnyayers1460 anytime…ride aafe
Where did you buy that short windscreen? Is that a 4" or less?
That is the stock windshield. I do believe it is 4”. Thanks for watching!!
good stuff ! those are the JSR bars you have right ?
Yes they are JSR bars. They are the 11” Fat bars. Love these bars…the only drawback is it put your hands in the wind. Thanks for watching and stay safe
What size and brand of handle bars are you running as well as the height and thickness?
Also what kind of grips are on the handle bars and size?
The handlebars are the JSR 11” Fat bars. As for the grips, they are standard size Avon Excalibur grips. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
Thanks I appreciate that
@@benniejackson3864 you’re welcome, hope it helps you
what bars do you have? Are those the fat boys or the regular JSR12's
They are the 11” fat bars. Thanks for watching and stay safe
I would love to ride with you guys, I got a vaquero and I’m in Philly
Would love to meet up and ride with you as well. Next time we set up a meetup like that…I’m thinking about announcing it here as well. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Well the average Hooters seats approximately 125 people, so if you rounded up all the Vaquero riders in the US and met at a hooters what would you do with the remaining 120 seats?
I’d invite all the brainwashed Harley fan boys….oh wait I wouldn’t have enough seating 😂🤣😂🤣
Oh yeah…thanks for watching and stay safe
@@GoofyBastard haha love it
My hood!
Oh yeah? Where ya from? Thanks for watching!!
@@GoofyBastard Valley Forge... now Limerick
@@legolwa damn you’re really close!!
Shame, in the 2.5 years I had my Vaquero, I never saw another one on the road!
Aside from Vito, I have only ever seen 3 other Vaqueros on the road. I think that’s one thing I like about them!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@GoofyBastard You too, bud!
What helmet are you using? I like that
In this video I am using a Biltwell Lane Splitter. Very cool looking helmet!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Hey. Do you still have this bike? Any new mods? What do you recommend? I see you are around Philly/King of Prussia. Im I’m south Jersey. I’m thinking of buying a voyager leftover for a great price.
Yes, I still do have this bike. I have done handlebars, grips, mirror, upgraded the audio, and did a slip on exhaust. There are some other mods that people have recommended, like seat, flash ECU. But I haven’t done either of those. The Voyager are great bikes!!! That’s the way I got mine…leftover with a great price!! Thanks for watching!!! If you keep watching, might be some talk of a meetup with Vaquero/ Voyagers.
@@GoofyBastard looks like I’m getting this bike this weekend. Dealership had a 22 voyager for $16k new. I did the deal
@@ClawRyder congratulations!!! I hope you like it as much as I like my. Vaquero!!!! Good luck with it!!
@@GoofyBastard Did the Ivan tune on my Voyager. If you like the bike now just wait till you experience the Ivan tune. Makes a good bike absolutely GREAT!
@@richperdue9344 I should’ve gotten Ivan’s tune when I first got the bike….or at the very least when the warranty was expired. But I no longer have the Vaquero
What kind of speakers are those. 5 1/2
They are Polk Audio DB 651 6 1/2” speakers. Thanks for watching!
Lol....id have showd up bro....lol.
Would’ve been nice to meet others !!! Next time something is set up, maybe I throw up an invite video here as well!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Where are you from in PA. I'm in pa. Myself and a vaquero owner
I am from SE Pa near the Valley Forge area. What part of Pa are you from? Thanks for watching!!
@@GoofyBastard I'm down in East Stroudsburg
I had the same bars. Couldn’t stand them. Controls should not angle downward
Are you talking about the JSR bars? I didn’t think they angled down. But thanks for watching…appreciate it
I'm not going to say it, Goofy Bastard...that would be swearing twice in the same sentence... 😂 We all would do better if we had hindsight first, lol.
Well you know me….I‘lol do enough swearing for both of us!!! But yes….hindsight would be better first…lol. Thanks for watching and stay safe
What camera setup & mic are you using
I run a GoPro Hero9 black on my helmet and a Hero5 Black on my handlebars. I use a cheap gaming style boom mic. Thanks for watching
Ty you ride safe 👍🏾👍🏾
@@manoffaith65 you’re welcome!!
Didn't even introduce him. 🤷
I know….I suck as a RUclipsr!!! When I was editing the video I was so thinking that I should’ve done some off the bike stuff and featured Vito. Thanks for watching and stay safe
what exhaust system do you have on ?
I was running the Cobra Tri-Flos . Thanks for Watching
@@GoofyBastard thanks bro for making the video.
Seriously thank you for watching
Hi bud what face book group i have a 2018 vaquero
It was “Vaquero Owners Group” on FB. Thanks for watching and stay safe
