new bike

[rickmeister56]

bought my 2005 nomad brand new in 05. the blk/slvr model. put 33,000 virtually trouble free miles on her. on 8sept08 traded her in on a 08 red/blk model. with 3 miles on her. couldnt be happier. now i get to buy more bling all over again. going to stick with the v/h baggers as my last set had 33,000 miles on them and i hadnt had any problems with them....

Congradulations on the new scoot!

Every now and then you do need a new one. I do like that red/blk comb.

Red @ Black good choice

I was lusting after the 1700 Voyager today but realistically I will probably keep my '06 until it doesn't run anymore

about 2 weeks before we sold the 05 my lady and i and several friends rode thru new mexico from kansas on our annual bike trip. went to angel fire,eagles nest,red river,taos,santa fe, ruidoso,alamagordo,roswell,tucumcari and then home for a total of 1970 miles. wonderful trip. a lot of pleasant memories on the 05... but the red/blk is faster isnt it?

At least keep your hands above your desk while oogling the 1700 ;) http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Rick, the 08 red & black is a very fast model!!! I absolutely love mine, and I guarantee you will too. I have the baggers on mine as well, and I really love the sound. Congrats on the new bike!

You just need to go a little faster and get the red paint to start flaking off; its all black underneath (had mine 110 today http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif smooth as glass)

The black part is, can't vouch for the red! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Come on guys! Everyone knows it's the Red that makes it fast!

[oldbikers]

The only time I saw a red and black Nomad was when I passed it with my blue & silver http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif but I hope you have as much fun on your new bike as you had on your 05.

Welcome rickmeister56 from Long Island New York!
The "rickmeister" The "Rickman" The Rick-a-row-nee!
Sorry rickmeister56, couldn't help that!
Anyway I'm with Wolfman. My tongue was wagging when I saw the Voyager. Right now I'm curious about the price, the weight and why it's not offered in solid black.
I'm still going to keep my 07 for a while. I'm 52 years old so I don't think i'll wait as long as Wolfman but, we'll see what my Financier(wife) says when we go to the IMS in January.

Welcome from Georgia.

Good choice on the red & black 08. Its twin is sitting in my garage!

Haven't we all decided that any color with black makes it half as fast as BLACK! :) :)

I'm with you Woflman, and if money weren't an object, then I may have to have one ... but as it is, just rode 1000 miles to Memphis TN, from Peoria, IL, and did not have a single issue! I think I will have to keep her till she drops. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

How was that trip Mike?

Congrats on the new bike. I too have an 05 blue/silver and love it. BUT that new 1700 Voyager looks alful inviting. But just to set the record straight. The blue/silver is the fastest of all the colors.

[rhunt4]

Now every one know that red and silver is the fastest and bestest ride there is. But I do like the 1700 except for the belt drive

Good color choice http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
