Remember to take no sh!t, but hand it out often.

Disagree when it looks like too many are agreeing.

Take your shots when you see them, and be sure to add an extra "just for the hell of it".

And last but not least... bring beer and liquor when you come to the rallies, otherwise -- we'll have a REAL problem!

Nicely done! I love this group, even though the technical/mechanical talk is ALWAYS over my head, especially guys like MacMac! I appreciate the insight so that when my Nomad makes it rare trip to the guys who do know what to do, I have a direction to point them in based on the wealth of knowledge gathered here! Thanks to all of you!

Almost 22K on my '06 Nad now. So far, so good. Even still has the original battery. Previous owner I think rode it gently and I guess I've been lucky so far. But that's what i expect from a Vulcan after 59K trouble free miles on my Classic.

6 years on a battery is pushing your luck.

Brad, did you ever get Dave to reimburse you for your hernias and lost wages?

Oh I would like to hear this story, unless it has something to do with them sharing a room, then never mind.

If you are not... get a battery-tender and hook it up when not riding... It can increase its longevity, unless already about shot.

**glwilson** · 11-09-2012, 07:06 PM

By the way Dave... you ran "plumber" off. He disappeared!

If he doesn't come back swinging... he is going to fail his initiation!

Already have one and always used it no matter how often I ride except in the summer. Then again I rarely go more than a week or two weather permitting and sometimes weather notwithstanding lol.

oh I didn't go any where. I just don't want to upset you over sensitive Harley boys again.

( just joke just in case you can't tell, I know your a little slow)

I've been riding for 30 plus year have had my nomad since 08. Joined another Vulcan site in 09 as some of you are. It just doesn't seem to be as good as this one as for tech advise and information. I read this one almost every day. I don't reply a lot. What I probably like the most about this site is the owners of the different brands of bikes, then you can see the pros and cons of different ones. Reading Macs post are probably some of my favorites. but TC attitude about noise and and darkside tires are close to my line of thinking ( now that should give you some more ammo to fire at me)

Sometimes you need to be tuff-e'-nuff to hang here.
