If Nomads could talk...............

[gv550]

This is what I expect my 1600 Nomad would have said to me as we took our last ride together............"Why are you doing this http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif? Have I not been good to you? We have had so much fun together, seen the oceans, the mountains, the plains, and oh......all those pictures from vistas and overlooks. Come on now, I've never broke down, in the 150,000 miles we have never needed assistance. I know you guys like the young ones ::)but I'm only FOUR YEARS OLD! What have I done wrong? Is it my drinking problem, I know you have spent more money on gas than you paid for me brand new but I do love those premium blends, I just can't help it. Please don't do it, the dealer will understand and give your deposit back (not), I don't want to sit in some used bike corral, no body will shine me. :'("

It was a sad day indeed, the end of a man/bike relationship is tough, right up until riding away on my new VOYAGER ABS http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif. It's been great, I'll pop back in here occasionally to get my Nomad fix but Voyager and I starting what I hope is a new love affair with a month-long tour along RT66, up the Pacific coast to BC, play in the Rockies and who knows where after that.

Don't go away!!! we want to know about the new Voyager!

I am really looking forward to seeing a Voyager in person and up-close. Non of my local dealers have theirs yet. Wonder why they took the "red" off the market? Keep us informed on your likes and dislikes of the Voyager.

I am glad Nomads can't talk cause mine would be screaming at me like an angry wife for not paying enough attention to it.

Great writeup Gary, good luck with the Voyager.

AWE..........poor Nomad! :'(

On the bright side somebody might get a deal on a used Nomad, and another love story begins. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif It's not so bad when you get drop kicked to the curb. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Mine would say I fart too much and it wants more chrome :)
ALSO we have a section for the 1700 Nomads and Voyagers.. WE NEED first hand updates! Good luck,Rich

Congratulations on the new bike, but don't go away. . . after all the Voyager is just a dressed up Nomad! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Nice thoughts man. After that many miles it would be a bit sad. Too bad you couldn't swing it to keep both the old and the new.
Hey if you're up in BC be sure to drop me a P.M. and let me know when you'll be up here. Maybe we can hook up for a ride. As long as it isn't in the middle of June. I have a trip planned. I hear there's a rally of some kind in Custer.
