Dropped My Nomad (The Cajun) Today - Page 2

I've done it 4 times...twice with Todd around: Once in WV a couple years ago on a side slope in the rain, once in KC when the engine choked out in the middle of a parking lot U-turn when the engine choked out. Both times the two of us uprighted the beast.

The other two times were behind the school when I got off the rock path and into some sugar sand (by myself then). That ol' bugger is heavy for sure.

*1 on picking up your back I have a bad back and bad neck and can pick my Nomad up with that method with no problem. The DVD Ride Like A Pro will so you I saw them once at the Honda Hoot and a 120 lb women picks up a full dressed Harley just got to know how.
