Kris,

Congrats on the new bike. I'm sure that you and Trish will have many happy miles on it. Just think, first rally with the new bike is going to be National in Colorado next year.

Kris, without going through 10 pages of this thread did ride a voyager before buying. Just asking because of your comment about the seat hight?

Netnorske · 08-01-2012, 10:25 AM

I rode one in 2010...and sat on a bunch since, so I knew that going in...just gotta stretch the toes ever so slightly more!

We could stretch your legs. Then that wouldn't be a problem.

Wilson could join in as well.

Good luck with the new bike Chris !!!!

Congrats on the new bike Kris, it looks great and I'm sure you'll love it. You can try it out/break it in by riding up to the 108 some time soon.

MustangMan · 08-01-2012, 01:08 PM

Congratulations Kris and Tricia, I cannot wait to see it.

Lol....no worries...tastefully for sure like I did on my old ride.

I see you got your handle back...nice. Btw...did you get our package...?

MustangMan · 08-01-2012, 02:11 PM

Kris and Tricia:
YES, I did get the package! Thank you so much and it is already installed on my now very old bike :). If you are serious about that drink, I will be home tonight and you could see what she would look like in a brand new four car garage. After looking at both colors again, I think you made the right choice.

"Cognitive dissonance is a discomfort caused by holding conflicting cognitions (e.g., ideas, beliefs, values, emotional reactions) simultaneously. In a state of dissonance, people may feel surprise, dread, guilt, anger, or embarrassment.[1] The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system, or alternatively by reducing the importance of any one of the dissonant elements.[1] An example of this would be the conflict between wanting to smoke and knowing that smoking is unhealthy; a person may try to change their feelings about the odds that they will actually suffer the consequences, or they might add the consonant element that the smoking is worth short term benefits. A general view of cognitive dissonance is when one is biased towards a certain decision even though other factors favour an alternative.[2]"

Another example is the stress of spending big bucks but enjoying every minute of it. Congratulations again.

So, I just now read your thread! Congrats on the new bike. That was a deal you couldn't pass up!! Heck, I was getting excited for you just reading through all the posts! I think you chose the right color. I can't say that I like the gold. Maybe if it was all white, but not 2 tone like that.

**crazygene49** · 08-01-2012, 03:39 PM

Nice ride!
