look what I rode

at Carlisle bike fest for about 20 minutes It handles like a dream even at low speed with 2-up. It may be about 100 lbs. heaver then my 08 but felt 100 lighter :) It does made one hell of a clunk shifting into 2nd. Not as much room as the 08 nomad but call me Tony the tiger "it felt Grrrreeeeat" ::) the ride along was worth the 16 bucks for admission for the two of us

Very nice. I finally saw a new Voyager in person last week for the first time. That blue/black color combo is sharp!

Your missus must have taken a pic over your helmet, there no way a normal rider (below 6'6", though those above that are very nice people) can see that far over the screen!!

I have to limit myself to one bike per year
I bought mine an 08 on 12/24/07
I bought her bike an 09 fourteen months later.
I'll wait till next year when her bike is paid off. The good part is that Chips agreed :) Time will tell :-/
