Hey all! Picked up an '08 silver/blue nomad last week (only 1300 miles and $7500!) and haven't looked back.

Upgraded from a 2004 Honda Shadow Sabre which had more mods and farkle (stopped counting at 50) than you can shake a stick at...all to get the bike exactly the way I wanted.

Taking a much more subtle approach with this bike since it's a great bike bone stock. So far I've relocated the helmet locks to the windshield brackets, moved my Kisan PathBlazer and TailBlazer over from my old bike, added 2" risers, a Battery Tender pigtail, and have bag liners on the way. Considering moving over my tach as well before I sell the old bike but beyond that keeping things as they are.

Just changed the oil this morning for the first time and then took her out for a nice long ride.

Found this site by accident. Really glad I did. Looking forward to contributing and learning more about my new bike!

$7500 US dollars today equates to $6067 Euros. The seller was getting out of riding all together and just wanted the bike gone. Truth be told this was sort of an impulse buy for me.

Welcome from Ohio. Like they say always trust your first instinct, you'll never regret that impulse buy.
