I'm still practicing my movie making skills...and getting better at it. Here is a video that chonicles the mods I've added to my Nomad since I bough it (although I missed a few) and some of the cool places I have ridden. Hope you enjoy....:tup:.

Kris that was great.
Where did you get the plastic chrome strips for the fender and such? And what size was it?
Thanks.

Cool video! Only hope I eventually get to do as much travelling. My 2008 will have a different look soon with a trunk, and the wife and I are going to start with little trips soon.

Damn, for some reason the video is not available in Germany (same with History Channel Hairy Bikers). Would like to see your mods, but.....

Thanks everyone. Glad you enjoyed it! Sorry for the late reply...but I was out on the coast catching some nice kings and silvers all day today. Tough job....but someone has to do it. We were fishing on the Quinault Reservation with my favorite Tribal Guide. We SLAYED fish today....

I'm envious of all the riding you must get to do. I'll always begging my wife for more . . . [Motorcycle Rides] :D

I bought it new in July of 2008....and have right around 45,000 miles on it now. I have done all the routine maintenance, installed the cam chain extenders....am on my fourth set of tires (third set of Avon Cobras)...and it runs like a champ!

I try to do at least two long rides every summer (7-9 days). I usually do one solo and one with the wife. After 32 years at my job, I accrue WAY more vacation than she does, so I can get away more often. I love doing both. When I'm solo....everything is at my own pace. When we go together, it is her and I against the world. We have really enjoyed the KawaNOW Rallies we have attended....and always look forward to those...:tup:.

Good Video... now I finally understand all those silly photo opts! When you see all those State signs scroll past on the video ..Utah, Idaho, Montana... looks cool. I am convinced, there is no better bang for the buck... motorcycles, create motorcyclists, creates wanderlust!

Those bike are at the local dealer right next to the unicorns. :-)
