When you can use it to take your costco shopping home. (Voyager)

My son took photos of his Nomad loaded with groceries from Walmart while
we were at Americade. His wife saw the photos, now he gets to do some
shopping on his way home from work.

A heavyweight cruiser isn't necessary for shopping.

You must be very regimented, we go to Cosco for a few things and end up with an overflowing cart!

**HwyRider** · 07-07-2015, 10:03 AM

Same here. We go to get 2 items and end up with 20.

In fairness, this was a hit n run visit, last minute stuff for a bar b que.

But we try to always, and I mean always, go with a list. Otherwise, I walk in for milk and walk out with milk and a flatscreen tv.

I never used the bike for shopping or commuting. When it came out of the garage I was gone for the day.

And that's about all I use my bike for nowadays.

You'd be surprised at the advantages of losing 250-300lbs.

You know you've graduated to a heavyweight cruiser;
When you drop it on its side and can't pick the damn thing up by yourself

That could also mean you're just getting old . . .

That's going to leave a mark for sure... in one's drawers as well!

I dropped the Voyager and could not pick it up.
I bought a Yamaha FJR and it felt like a bicycle after the Voyager.
