Many years ago I went motorcycle shopping. My criteria was that I could fit my over six foot frame on it comfortably, that it was more cruiser than sport bike, and that she look sexy.
This was the pic that made me fall in love
I flew nearly clear across the country to my brother's house, he drove me across the state to the dealership. A 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 was to be mine. The first road trip was the one back home, nearly 14hrs straight through.
After many miles and a few years, I came to learn that the square states have a lot of straight roads. Like...A LOT.
She was a great bike, and could hold her own in any parking lot.
Even took lots of beauty shots over the years.
But like I said, lots and lots of straight roads around here...(well this one was rolly, so that was fun.)
She's been sitting in the garage now for two years. Extra tank and fender and lots of chrome bits all sitting around for the next step of personalizing her. And it never happened.
Since she has a very limited audience of riders, it turns out that can't give her to anyone as a project or as parts. So I had to call the junk yard for a pittance of what the parts will be worth. We had good times on the road.
