Did you know...........

That with the Voyager setup you can revert back to TWO WHEELS in just under five minutes???

That with the Voyager setup you can tow a trailer and the "pull" is from the CENTER of your frame and not the rear fender assembly??

Check them out http://www.mtcvoyager.com/

I was at Zebca HD in Johnstown PA, and the Owners Dad has a Voyager setup on his Road King.
Older gentleman that has had some nasty health problems and the Voyager was a "gift" from the techs in the his shop so he could still ride.

Jim Craig, who manages the motorcycle service division of the fleet at the Pittsburgh Police Department, says, “Our motorcycles are used 365 days a year. Using the Voyager is seen as a great way to extend solo riding through Pittsburgh's winter season.”

I need some of those with quick-disconnects. Leave them in the garage for normal riding and pin them on the bikewhen I'm heading for the tavern.

While driving south of Boston towards Cape Cod, in traffic saw big Harley with a side car. The interesting thing was hanging off the bike, maybe tied to on the back rest was a folding wheel chair. Never did get to pull along side or pass him. But had to mentally tip my hat to him!

if I am as bad off as you need to be to be using one of these set ups, I want someone to steal my bikes place me in a car or get me a cab, I should not be on the road for my safety and the safety of others, I would need to give up my freedom of self transportation..... it looks stupid too!!!!!

well, every day that you can still ride a Harley is a wonderful day, I am a realist, if I am not safe enough riding a full dresser Harley , then I should not be on one, if I am going to endanger myself or others as I cannot handle the bike I need to be on foot, like it or not

I am still trying to figure out where the folks using these systems (like the Pittsburgh Police) or some folks with health problems that may need the extra help have become UNSAFE.

well, I don't want someone (including myself someday) who cannot stabalize their bike riding next to me on a mountain road at 40 miles an hour hitting me because the bike weighs too much for them to control, if they want to ride, maybe they need to go back to a sportster or a bike that does not weigh in at 800+ pounds without a rider or personal property....... or what none of us ever want to a cage.... I if knowing that I might lose control would not take the risk to myself or others if I felt that I was a menace/unsafe to control my ride.
