Sorry Greg. I thought you were part of the "In" crowd?!!!

**BudMan** · 07-31-2012, 07:35 PM

Congratulations....

Congratulations on the new Voyager (I think you picked the better color combo of the two myself) I think you'll love it.

Chili · 07-31-2012, 08:03 PM

Congrats!

**Idaho** · 07-31-2012, 08:16 PM

Brad...

I'm "in" when it is important... in the meantime I'll let you handle the small stuff...

Congratulations!

Congrats on the new bike and thanks for sharing the experience with the rest of us. I think you got a great deal. Now you can make all VBA events.

ponch · 07-31-2012, 09:46 PM

And it has happened until we see pictures.

**glwilson** · 07-31-2012, 09:52 PM

I guess Kris's camera doesn't work... or he is out taking a long ride.

Kris, Kris, hello, are you there or have you gone riding. Enjoy the new bike. See you in Antlers.

Netnorske · 07-31-2012, 10:31 PM

Sorry guys....its been a really long day. Finally got home and dicked around with my highway pegs and had to move my GPS a tad, which was more of a PIA than it sounds.

First impressions....this is a totally different animal. All kinds of sounds I'm not used to, etc. Clunky shifting in the lower gears...and I never got it over 55 on my ride home. Trunk is small compared to my Premeux...that will be tough to negotiate until I get used to it.

New accessories won't be in for a week or two, but can't wait to get those added on. The windscreen is 6" too high right now. Seating position is different....but I'm sure once I get used to it all will be good.

I am spent...I can tell you that, but thanks for hanging in there with me throughout this ordeal. I don't spend big money well...and I'm still wondering WTF I just did....

....
