"the Stocker" 1997 VLX Deluxe This is my first bike that I purchased, brand new off the showroom floor in May of 1997. It's my primary ride, my everyday commuter, my first love if you will. What I really like about this one: she really shines up nicely! Click here to learn more about mods to this bike |

This is my favorite bike! Believe it or not, even though I've sunk some cash into customizing the other two I still ride this one the most. |
|
Portside View Some folks ignore this side of the bike when taking pictures, but I think it makes for an interesting shot when done right. |
|
3/4 Rear View Good detail shot of the saddlebags w/ color matched rivets, chrome brake rod and polished brake drum. |
|
Rear View Good shot of that beefy rear tire and the wide look of the bags. |

Chics Dig the Bike... My wife really likes this bike also, in fact she won't ride with me on any of them except this one. The backrest gives a passenger some sense of security, they won't be flying off the rear under acceleration! |

Saddle Bag Detail These leather saddle bags were purchased used for less than a song. The rivets were rusted and dull, so I painted them a pearl yellow to match the theme of the paint. It really accents the bike's appearance. |

"...where does he get those wonderful toys?" One garage, five VLX's, and room to maneuver? One might think it to be impossible... My Wife's VLX
