Razz The sweetest words a wife could say to her hubby

My wife saw me looking at some performance parts for the Vaquero. The she looked at me and said "I want the new bike to sound as bad ass as our Vulcan 1500 classic. Get loud pipes, I don't like that it sounds like a sewing machine". Nearly brought a tear to this Vaq owners eye. Let the modding begin...... as soon as the break in period is over.

list: Vance & Hines slip ons, power commander 5, K&N air filter, highway pegs, Mustang Seat with driver and passenger back rest, amp and better speakers.

already have RacnRay throttle mod done.

I don't know if I should be more jealous of your bike or your wife. Does that angel have any single sisters?

It is not your excitement or the support of your wife that offends me, LOUD PIPES offend me.

Was going to, just could not justify 25K for the 2015 Roadglide. The Vaq had everything I wanted. I even looked at the Road King, beautiful bike but they would not budge on price. So here we are and I could not be happier with my decision.
