After looking at a lot of bikes I found the one that stood out. To start with it was hard for a cowboy to give in to this atv thing when the horse is still ready to work. But it sure is nice to just turn a key and ride off. The Vinson may be a little fancy for checking cattle and fixing fence but it sure looks good in front of the bar when the work is done.

 

Being from Alaska, I've never been a big fan of cowboys, but it sounds like at least one is coming around...
Welcome to the happy side of the ranch, where our mounts don't bite, crap on our boots, or get tired.


: )

 

My horse can go through and over things that would leave you and your quad crying for your mother.

Since when don't people from alaska like cowboys? My uncle lived there for 7 years as a welder and he is from a ranch in wyoming.

 

I have nothin' but respect for a real cowboy. If I were doing nothing but work with my atv-I would go for the honda. I chose my vinson for both play and hunting. I love it. I do wish I would have got the auto. The limited seems to be what the "posers" like. It is a pretty machine. Mine is covered with mud, and scratched up. The extra money just for the "bling" wasn't worth it to me.

 

Since you didn't grow up in AK, then you wouldn't know about the long running rivalry between Alaska and Texas.

The old joke goes like this...

"The governors of all the states were at a governors' meeting and the gov. from Alaska was overhearing the Texas gov. go on and on about how BIG Texas is and how much OIL Texas has and so on and so forth. Finally, the Alaskan gov. had had enough, so he went over and said "Hey, I've been listening to you bragging all night about Texas, but listen, if you don't pipe down, I'm going to have to split Alaska into TWO STATES, and Texas will have to be THIRD biggest."

So many Texas jokes, but that's most likely because Alaska and Texas share those two things, size and oil. Which, by the way, Alaska has more of both. We don't have very many cows, though...

Also, I've never liked country music. Call it all personal bias if you like. You can even say I'm a jerk! But I promise you, it won't change anything. My quad is still easier to take care of than a horse.
I don't ever really remember saying I could go more places with a quad... huh, that's funny.

 

I'll talk slow this time and say i like the vinson. And for the rest of it the term cowboy has little to do with cattle but whats in side a man. When things get tuff and a man takes care of buissness we call it to cowboy up. Last night I sit at a table and had a cold brew with a doctor,lawyer,four bikers,and a farmer don't remember any of us trying to change the other. Must be one of the things I like about the great state of Oklahoma. And before this gets to far off I'll say it again I like the vinson.

 

mybull, the vinson is a great machine. I too almost got an 04 vinson LE. But I fell in love with the v twin. Congrats on the new bike.
