Good Morning

Good morning all
The weather here in NM has been great for riding. Lows down to the upper 50's and then up to the mid 80's. Hope yall are scheduling that kind of weather for La Grange.
Keep looking at the new Vulcan / Voyager. I sure like the silver / black colors. The seat looks comfortable too, but you can't tell by looks. Will be nice to see one up close at the IMS in Phoenix.
Yall have a great day.

Good Morning Y'all.

72 headed for 88-90.

Elcectric Company trucks were on our road yesterday.
Hopefully the power will be restored in a day or two.
Got to try and call the county to see if they will come and spray for the mosquitos.

Y'all have a good day. Ride safe.

Re: GMLSV

Howdy y'all.

Weather has been great here, too. Middle 60's in the morning, 85 - 92 in the afternoon.

Still deciding on the Vulcan Voyager. I will look at it when the time comes but I really like the 4 cylinder. Won't buy unless I can ride it no matter what I buy. Might hafta go to the Venture Royale or find a real Voyager that hasn't been riden much.

Have a good one.


Be Careful.
Ride Safe.

I know of a 93 XII in New York that has less than 15,000 miles. Can't understand that though, but it looks nice. No faded paint. It is not even broken in yet.

Re: Re: GMLSV

I looked hard at the Yamaha. The only drawback is NO REVERSE. Other thn that, it is a really good bike which comes with all the goodies standard.

Re: Re: Re: GMLSV

The new Vulcan, I mean Voyager, NO I MEAN VULCAN, could likely be close to the GL1800 in weight. Any bike that heavy should have a reverse!

Re: Good Morning

I hate to say it, but to me the new Voyager looks like a Vulcan updated with a fairing and a Top Box!

Re: Re: Good Morning

To me it looks like the Nomad we used to have with a few things added. It may be ok with others, but we won't be buying it.

ISP was down this morning. Beautiful day--but two breakdowns on some equipment. It's been keeping me hopping. Leave work early to go to the youngest's football game 45 mi. away.

All this talk of new motorcycles got me in the mood to make a purchase. (It's BRIGHT red.) Look for pics this weekend or maybe Monday!

Ride Safe!

"I hate to say it, but to me the new Voyager looks like a Vulcan updated with a fairing and a Top Box!"

Looks like? it IS a Vulcan with trunk and fairing.

Re: Re: Re: Good Morning

Before I got my C14 I had looked at the Vulcan, but turned it down because it was not a touring bike. No cruise, no audio, NO TACH!! no fairing, just a windshield.
I agree it s a Vulcan with top box, cruise, fairing, audio. Aren't those the things that make for a touring bike???
I look forward to taking a test ride. That will help decide.
Yall have a great day.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Good Morning

RR, The C14 doesn't come with cruise or audio either but that didn't stop you from buying it.

If you do buy a new Voyager, we'll probably have to change your nickname to "Retro Rod". Somehow, rocket doesn't seem to fit the Vulcan Voyager.

"Cruise, fairing, audio"? - Gee, I thought I owned a sport tourer but I guess it's really a touring bike since it has all those as well as a trunk, heated grips, heated seat, ABS, etc.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Good Morning

True, I did get the C14 without cruise or audio, but it has the FUN FACTOR which makes up for the difference. Still not sure about getting the Vulcan Voyager. I still get a smile whenever I get on the C14. Kawasaki just built too good a bike in the C14. It would be their own fault if I didn't get a Vulcan.
It still might be in my future though. I just am not running it down because of the V twin.
