Finally...Another Nomad Rider...!!!

[Netnorske]

After posting another thread last week about missing my chances when seeing other Nomads on the road (0 for 3 since last July), today I finally got it right... !

My wife and I jumped on the Nomad for a short ride to the auto dealership where I just purchased a new '09 Chevy Silverado to drop off some paperwork. I'm sitting at a light when I see a black bike coming from the left and turning south in front of me (same direction as I'm headed). But because two lanes of traffic were turning at the same time, I could not tell what kind of bike it was and didn't give it too much thought.

As soon as my light turned green I scooted down the road. After a couple miles and a couple more lights...I could see the bike was just up ahead of me in the next lane. It was then that I started to look at the lines of the bike and noticed the hard bags.

No....could it be? Nahhh I told myself. As I drew closer I saw the unmistakeable side opening bags and indeed it was....a 2006 Black Nomad... ! In perfect form...I pulled right up next to him at the next stop light. We chatted for a second (you know...."nice Nomad!") Before losing the opportunity I asked if he had a minute to pull over and he nodded yes.

He introduced himself as DC and seemed like a very friendly fellow of about my age. We admired each others bikes and mods...and chatted for about 20 minutes. DC said he lives in Mountlake Terrace, WA.....about 25 minutes from my place.

I told him all about KawaNOW and our NW Region of which he knew nothing about. His wife loves to ride too and they long haul about with a trailer and everything. Of course I told him all about the National Rally in June! As much as I wanted to...I did not ask for his contact info, but instead gave him all of mine. I gave him the web address for KawaNOW, my cell phone number and my email address.

I will cross my fingers and hope that he does in fact join us here and touches base with me as I would love to have another Nomad owner to ride with around here. I've done my best to spread the KawaNOW love....and I have to admit I will be bummed out if I (we) don't hear from him...
