New Voyager Owner in Texas !

Post by Pappa D »

Hello Everyone !
I bought my 2002 Voyager XII a couple months ago, the gentlemen who previously owned it has taken exceptional care of it. I purchased it with 58K miles on it.
He recommended this site and I have found this to be a very valuable tool in the upkeep and overall general knowledge for my new "BABY".
I inherited the Service Manual and the AVA Voyager Tech Tips book, and it has been my bible on keeping my Voyager in tip top shape.
I haven't had many problems but I feel confident that I can solve any issues on this site. this has been great reading and learning for me.

the tips and knowledge is amazing.
looking forward to traveling and hopefully meeting up with more Voyager owners along the way to share MY stories and tips along the way. these are truly great bikes.

Having fun NOW, :thanks: :thmup: :woohoo:

Hi Pappa D and welcome to the AVA. I have a 2001 Voyager I picked up in Belton, TX back in 2010. It too was pristine. Must be something about that Texas air. I hope you enjoy your machine and don't hesitate to get on here and ask if you have a problem. There are enough devotes here to help with most anything.

Welcome to the forum Pappa D. I'm a fellow Texan, if you are ever near Wichita Falls let me know. I just sold my 2002 Voyager 1200 about a month ago to buy a Honda Goldwing. Well it only took about 2 weeks to change my mind when I found a 1999 Voyager with only 46K miles and in excellent condition. It even had the cb radio my other one did'nt. The hond will have to wait. :thmup: :-D

Pappa D,

Welcome to the "family" As stated earlier, the Voyager is the best kept secret. I was wondering, did you but your XII from a guy in La Grange. If you did, you got a great buy. Take a look at Lonestarvoyagers.org. Hopefully, you can join us on our lunch run next month.

YES, I did buy it from "HIPPI" here in La Grange,
I will for sure look into the Lone Star Voyagers chapter, looking forward to meeting up with you.

Hippi was member of the LSV for a number of years. Great guy. I think he had a number a strokes and decided it would be better not to ride anymore. Ask him about his "rock" and Musicman. Good story.. Next lunch run is to the Southern Flyer in Brenham 11Jun
