1st. ride
Hey! I finally got out after buying my bike last November, hadn't ridden in 15 years. It came back slowly, little shaky at first :-/, stalled it once, but after putting on over 230km today I feel the riding skills are coming back.
And these Nomads are some awesome, for such a big moose they can sure hold a line in a curve, and more low end grunt then I ever imagined. Comfortable like a motorized couch. Hope you all have as great a first ride of the season as I did.

Super!! Glad you enjoyed your first ride. This week is supposed to be wet. Following week looks like sunshine so around that time, I will get my first ride of the year. Can't wait!! :)

A Nomad is a wonderful thing to behold and fantastic to ride. I still get a thrill every time I take a ride on my Ruby and I've had her for 8 years. Enjoy your Nomad leadbelly and enjoy the riding even more.

It's a good thing I got a ride in on the week-end. It started to snow last night and has been snowing all day. Just when we thought spring was finally here, everything is a mucky mess again.

Everything is white again this morning but the temps for the next few days are above zero so the snow will be gone today and hopefully everything will be dryer by the week-end.
Brian got the part for his Nomad so he can fix her and maybe we can ride on the week-end. |

I've been out the last 3 days in a row - today it's supposed to hit 12C. Amazing weather...great to be back out on the Nomad!
