I am a little behind GrandpaDenny and a couple of others with my 2000 XII at 18,500+

I purchased her on March 28, 2020. No name for her yet but I and my wiffy will come up with one eventually.

I have been looking at this sight since acquiring her and have learned a lot of what to look for to stay out of trouble
like new tires, front springs, tightening steering head bearing an some other interesting stuff.

There is a holl-gobb of knowledge here that is fur sure

Take Care

My '99 turned 90,000 on a 150 mile ride Sunday, and still seems to run as good as it did when I bought it in November 2009 with 22,000 on it :woohoo:

I don't see things getting back to normal that quickly. Maybe next year. I don't think we'll even get close to full vaccination by summer. Another organization I belong to recently cancelled their triannual worldwide convention in September 2021.

So, i'm coming from planning and doing trips on my smaller cc bikes. I always stick to back roads and shoot for 250miles a day. That is a comfortable mileage, gas, food, rest stops. What do you guys shoot for daily mileage on the voyager? I got to imagine that one could cruise for a while and get some pretty good mileage in.
