Just a bit of introduction here, I'm new to this forum, not necessarily to the Vulcan line. I've had my 2013 Voyager since new with now just over 36K miles. I've done numerous mods since then all in customizing my ride more to my tastes and riding style. I love this bike! Since trading in my V2K, I've found that the Voyager makes riding longer distances more comfortable. I will add that my first Vulcan was a '06 800 Drifter.

Maybe next year, planning a ride to Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky in September which will just about cover my long-range plans for the year. There was a rally that I heard about in Northern California..not sure about time or place. Now that I'm retired and have the wheels for travel, I'm not sure what the ratio of at home/on the road will be. Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to meeting new people and seeing new places.

Yeah, Bill, been there, done that, LOL. Guess you don't remember me from Taos, (Wolf). Fancy meeting you here. :-D
I've been looking at this site for a while and finally decided to jump in. Are you planning on either WWRXI or Eureka Springs?

Hi, just got a 2010 Voyager yesterday. Just thought I'd introduce myself. Folks call me Symie.
First question, where do I get a decent manual for the bike?

Hello Stymie, newby myself, but I can still give you a welcome. As per your question, I have a service manual in ROM version that I purchased from Tech Spark Studio. Found it on Ebay as I recall. It's great in the fact that number one, it was cheaper than a hard copy and two, I can access pages that address my current service needs. I always print the relative page so eventually I'll have the complete manual. All it's cost thus far is the price of a loose leaf binder and page protectors.
