Just kidding Ray; I'll ride with you anytime I can. Having ridden with you several times; I have enjoyed each trip. ;)

We are going to have to "tag-up" for one more ride out west or Northwest sometime before the snow gets deep!

Hey Mitch and Mike;

I will post some soon.

I have only put about 400 miles on it since I got it a 1 1/2 weeks ago; and most of that was done on two rides.

It has been raining a lot up here. Little time to ride without getting entirely soaked -- although I rode in the rain yesterday, just so I could ride. :(

So... I'll get it cleaned-up and try to take some pics this weekend (if it doesn't rain). If not then; as soon as it clears-up. ;)

Hey we don't mind looking at pics of dirty bikes. IF they are dirty that means they have seen the road. Don't see too many HD bikes with road grime on them around here.

Ha! Good point. I say that all the time to riders who own their bikes for "butt-jewelry".

You can't accuse me of that though OP... I am known to ride hell or high-water -- however as of late we have been getting blasted with huge thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning. Something that I would prefer to avoid.

(There was a death-notice in the paper this morning of a young high-school kid who crashed because his car hydro-planed in one of these storms and hit a tree. I don't want that to happen to me on the bike! )

I saw a couple threads on here blasting HD's. I kind-of get a kick out of some of the comments. In retrospect; I can see where I might have thought some of the same myself -- however I can tell you that this is a great bike and I have no regrets.

I just went out to take a picture. It is my garage because it is storming quite wildly out this evening.

Sorry for the look on my face. But here it is. It is not a good pic :( but you can see that I can place my feet on the ground since it has been lowered. There are bug-guts all over it and it looks "ridden-hard and put away wet"; which it was. (That is my trailer behind it. Although it doesn't look like it fits inside it -- it does with some room to spare -- but not much.

Chrome front forks; chrome luggage rack on back-luggage; chrome foot rest covers; chrome oil filter cover; Chrome dash-board accents; AM/FM; WX Radio; CB; CD Player; I-Pod & MP3 player input; Intercom; and a few extra Little chrome add-ons and "do-hickies" were included with this bike.

I paid just a "tad-more" than what MSRP was for the new Voyager (w/out ABS). It is an '09.
