So, we headed out to a local dealership this week to outfit our Honda Shadow V Twin 1100 American Classic Edition with saddlebags, a new passenger saddle for comfort, and other accessories we might need for the upcoming journey. We started out up to head out to the dealership…. No dice. A few minutes later, we were on the road after Jef jumped the battery. Add a battery to the list. Oh, and a windshield. Definitely a saddle for me… 12 days of this might be a test…but, there are families that do most of their travelling on a motorcycle smaller than this one, so a bit of global humility may be needed. We arrived at the dealership ready to shop when I made the mistake of spotting a used motorcycle with everything we needed. Sat on it. (Uh oh) Test rode it… it was smooth and effortless at 70 mph…it felt safer (last straw). So, now it’s ours and headed to Cape Breton with us. (still deciding what to do with the Shadow….it’s so pretty and fun…) Now, The Plan is to outfit the Voyager with gear and plan our itinerary (loosely… It still is a journey). Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated!!! J & M
