I'm also a member of a couple other Vulcan sites and noticed this one mentioned on VROC so I had to check it out.

I've owned bikes since I was a teenager but have been without one for the last 12 years or so. Last year I walked into the local Kawasaki dealer, test rode a new '08 Nomad and I suddenly realized that too long ago I had let one of my biggest passions (riding!) fall by the wayside. I was hesitant to buy a new one (wasn't for sure why at the time) but instead waited and looked online for the better part of a year until I found what I was looking for. Yeah, I looked at other bikes too (and have had a Harley in the past), but I knew it had to be a Nomad this time! On May 31st of this year I rented a truck and traveled to Southern Indiana where I picked up a very well kept, one owner '02 Nomad that was right within what I was able to afford.

I now know that waiting for almost a year, as hard as it was, was the right decision. I'm looking forward to putting many, many good miles on my Nomad and am glad to see a site devoted to these great machines.

Happy Trails to all and ride safe!

Welcome from north Alabama. After owning four Honda's and one being an '83 Goldwing I finally wised up and bought me an '08 Nomad. It is the greatest bike I have owned. I love it as I know you surely will. When I sold my '83 Goldwing in '86 I didn't own another bike until April of '08 when I bought a new '07 Honda 1300VTXR. I put 11,000 plus miles on it and when I retired from Siemens I decided to use some of my retirement money to buy a new '08 Nomad. Bought it April 1, of this year. I now have 2700 miles on it. It has been everything I expected. Enjoy your bike and ride safe. Once again, welcome to our site.
