Ok, today after checking on some plots I was driving east on I-76 and spotted 3 nomads together heading west. Anyone here???
By the way, you can tell Sturgis is about ready to start. The number of motorcycles has increased substaintially.

I hardly ever see one in my area. I am in Gatlinburg, TN this weekend and will see if I see any. Have already seen several Harleys and of course Goldwings.
A Nomad sighting up here is very rare!

I see one every now and then but the sightings are few and far between.
Then 2 weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon I see 2 in one afternoon...

I used to live there. Don't recall seeing too many bikes period, but most of what I did see were HD.

That's what I was saying my thread. The whole time I was in MT and Canada, I only saw one Nomad.

Didn't see a black one. Blule and silver. It's good to see more of our rides around.

Nomads are few are far between for sure. Makes us a breed apart! Was at a big down town bike night the other night in Pekin IL probably 200 bikes. There were no other Nomads and only 2 other Vulcans there.

I'm not sure if I see more of them since I got mine or if I notice more of them but you'd be surprised how many I see around the Rapid City/Black Hills area...

It's probably just one biker from N. Dakota, riding around and around looking for a new home in the U.S. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

You see a lot of new riders on Black ones. That is because they are cheaper to buy. The more experienced riders don't want to be seen on a black one as they are so ugly. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif ;)

You don't see the Black one's cause they are so quick - you blink and you miss them! funny - there are 2 within a block of each other where I live - and a 1500 Classic 4 doors down! There will be a black Nomad decker with a Black Tinymite trailer leaving Calgary Thursday morning - passing thru Medicine Hat around noon - stopping in Havre, Montana around 2 ish, landing in Round Up Montana around 5:30. Maybe Forsythe around 7 depending on weather! Friday around noon ish it should be in spearfish getting a bath. So if you are around those area's - don't blink or you will miss it!

You just think those people are blinking.
They are really closing their eyes so they don't have to look at a black Nomad. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

everyone has a favorite color some bought theirs on acct of the good deal they got on it (me) and some paint them purple and by the way I saw a silver and black one today in town after taking blinds back the 3rd time to have the cut I measured them myself this time before I left there.

I don't see a lot of Nomads out here or even Vulcans in general but a couple of weeks ago there was a run called "Truckin' for Hospice." 717 people attended that run and I saw another Nomad, a couple of Classics and a Voyager. We must have the best kept secret in motorcycling.
I've been surprised at how many Harley guys have told me they used to have a Nomad and sold it to get the Harley. And now they wished they had another Nomad.

Had a parade called can you see me now that came about after a biker was killed in Pekin IL yesterday. Somewhere in the neighborhood of a 1000 bikes it was pretty amazing! Met up with a fellow KawaNow person (retr05) and other than his Nomad and mine did not see any others until after the fact and I saw one in one of the photos of the parade. No Voyagers or Vaqueros either that I saw. I would agree on them being a best kept secret for sure! Not a bad thing they stand out in the sea of HDs stock or otherwise! The reputation of the local Kawa dealer in the Peoria IL area is not that great, and for that matter there is not one Metric dealer within and hour of Peoria that has much of a reputation at least not from everything I have heard.

I saw about a dozen Nomads around the Sturgis area during pre-Rally week. I didn't see any Vaqueros or Voyagers on the road. I saw them at the Test Ride lot and MaKaw only brought 1 Nomad to the show. The had 4 Vaqueros, 2 Voyagers, and then some classics, and sport bikes.
