My new ride.

SkinnyPedal · 05-31-2012, 09:03 PM

Just got a new (to me) ride last week. Its an 08 Nomad 1600 with 7200 miles on it. Blue N Silver.

Painted and Added the reckless fairing Friday. We tryed to match the silver but it turned out to dark. I ordered the OEM Blue from color rite today. Should have it repainted before the Rally. Fingers crossed.

Took it for a run on the Moonshiner 28 this past weekend. I really like the way it handles.

Very cool, congrats on the '08, they are the last model year of the best looking Nomads.

Bud2rat · 05-31-2012, 09:32 PM

Congratulations on the new ride. The '08 is a great Nomad.

**Kawhead** · 06-02-2012, 01:17 AM

If that was my Nomad, I think I would trailer her so she wouldn't get dirty!

See you at the rally.

SkinnyPedal · 06-03-2012, 04:16 PM

Thanks everyone... I am happy with her so far but seems like the 1500 has more power. I hope the stock cat and breather are holding it back.

I will proly trailer her to the Rally.

Dang, a Nomad a trailer, brings tears to my eyes.
