According to the service manual, the Voyager odometer locks up when it gets to 999999 and won't roll back to zero, I'm on a mission to find out if it's true.

That is just awesome. How do you find enough weather in Canada to ride so much?
I've had sportbikes that are considered used up around 30,000 miles. This gives me real confidence that with good maintenence my vaq will endure at least 100000 miles of aggressive throttle usage.

"Awesome" was the first word that I thought of too, despite Garry being now a few km's into his second engine. Three of those should about get him to the magic odo-lock? I just clicked over one tenth of that mileage on my own bike, so I'm comforted to think there are many more available, if I don't get my head turned by another.
I don't think all that many of those kilometers were done in Canada though.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! I am 1/6th the man mileage wise . . .
Awesome! This gives me great confidence that buying a nomad with 115,000KM on it, isnt necessarily buying an "old" bike... I'll be VERY happy if I can get it to 200K.

That's amazing Gary, congrats. I'd bet there are probably a lot of good times and stories to go with those miles/klm.s...Gary are you there? ... beeeep, "sorry Gary can't come to the forum right now he's out riding again, but if you'd like to leave a message" :lmao:.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. And yes, it has been a blast, this bike has been to every state except Hawaii and DC and every province except Nunavut. Keep on riding.......
