Don't know about the causes of the Nomad's wobble.

You've got to hand it to Kawasaki, when they make a clone, they clone it all. :)

Yeah, I could do that Loyd, but then I would have to put up with that god awful shake at idle. ;)[/quote:wdwlgo5y]

It sure beats that God awful shake at 60!

I hope you heal. It sounds like you'll be back long before I will. I too went down recently. I'm laid up with a broken leg.

I hope you heal rapidly and come back full strength. Good luck to you.

**Top Cat** · 08-29-2011, 06:18 PM

Loyd , You do have a very good point there. :)

**cnc** · 08-29-2011, 07:40 PM

Really sorry to hear this Brian, but I am glade you are here to tell us about it. I wish you a speedy recovery.

blackdogbrian · 08-29-2011, 07:55 PM

Thanks to all for the well wishes,
I am sure I am going to physically heal quite quickly.
the hardest part is going to try and determine the cause..... and without knowing that am how much am I really going to be willing to risk on the bike.
I've got some hard soul searching to do with my family.... but thank you all for your help so far, and when I have some more details on the bike which might be able to point to a cause thanks for help there too!

Sorry to hear of your accident. Hope you have a speedy recovery and back in the saddle soon.

psychocycle · 08-30-2011, 08:19 AM

Sorry to hear about this, very disturbing. Get Well Soon.

Bdog · 08-30-2011, 05:09 PM

I just home home from mac. Brian. Damm it eh!! Glad your alive and kicking bro. The wobble can come from many issues..usually a combo. Loose steering bearings..sometimes worn, cupped tires, swingarm brgs worn, loose swingarm, dry swingarm and dry shock mounts. All of these combined will shake the Nomad pretty badly. Take care Brian..keep in touch...John

**glwilson** · 08-30-2011, 05:53 PM

Bdog... that bike of yours is still looking great man! ;)

Now... back to the post...

landman · 08-30-2011, 07:00 PM

best wishes for a speedy recovery.

LOL! Your wife wants you to spend more $ on a bike, and my wife wants me to stop...
Of course if I need to spend a bit on her bike, it seems ok. Hmmmm.

I've sat here for thirty minutes or so trying to put into words how much closer life is in the living after cheating death once again. Can't quite carve the words today. Most if not all the pain will pass, leaving only the scars to remind us where we've been and what we lived through. I pray you have the family and friends close to support you as I have had and have still. May your recovery be quick, your healing complete, and your love of life and those around you last forever. Hang on to the positives, get over the negatives, give thanks for what you still have and make things better for those you can. Breath deep but take your pills first. They say laughter is good medicine but in your case maybe you'd better just smile real big and laugh with your eyes.
