Default Hey Guys!

Know its been a while since I've been here, life got busy.

The update;

We have bought a little mobile in a nice park that's close to my wifes work and her moms house.....that's right she found a good job.

We should be moving in the next few weeks, as soon as escrow closes.

I quit the job I had and fully retired. Since we paid cash for the mobile, living expenses are going to be cheap and I will take care of the house duties.

Believe it or not...I was offed a ridiculous price for the Falcon and had to sell it, along with the rest of my IH toys.

I traded a pistol that I had ($575.00 it what I had into it) for something to ride....a 96 Kawasaki Voyager XII, nice bike, fast and reliable, and I am in the wind for the most part.



We are in MUCH better shape financially then the last time I posted here. So I have some extra cash saved up and have started looking for another EVO!!

I will be visiting from time to time with my search progress. I've found some nice ones, but am looking for a little better price.

Dang man! Not s**t, I was wondering about you the other day! Actually, I was watching "It" and your avatar popped into my mind. It still SCARES me BTW!

Great to hear you're back on your feet and back in the wind! Nice, classic ride BTW!

WELCOME BACK!

Glad the learn that things are working out for you, great!

You have a ride, take your time and find the right bike to replace it when the time comes.

Congratulations.

Nice Voyager! I'd have a hard time replacing a classic touring bike like that... even with an evo. Welcome back.

Who said replace?...........roflmao!

It IS one fast frikin bike! 97hp out of the box and a 12 second 1/4, smooth as glass at any speed/rpm, handles well for a fully bagged bike of its vintage. I haven't been able to get the riding position right yet though, a bit upright for me.

I thought at one time when I actually had money, getting the newer voyager with the 1700 v-twin in it. My dad has a 1700 Vaquero... my Vulcan 2000 would eat it for lunch, and I'm sure my evo will after the modifications, but man is it one smooth machine.

Glad things are working out for you, it always does somehow.

Nice Voyager. I had a 1985 Voyager XIII, fuel injected in-line 6. What a beast. 100 lbs heavier than my Tour Glide and twice the horsepower. 0-70mph between lights. The harness was all rotted and finally beat me.
