I think this is the start of a great site for Nomad owners, thanks for all your work!

Chief
We should definitely get together soon.

... Moved to texas in June of 03 and continued riding the 02 till we got hit head-on by an out of control Electraglide at Sturgis in Aug of 04. Totalled my beloved Nomad and the Electraglide, and killed the other rider. I survived. ...
That is intense!

Hey Element80, does your screen name indicate that you're Mercury or does it relate to the metal band from Tyler?

The year was 1985, Ichiro Kawasaki saw a Harley Davidson Road King and spent the next 14 years trying to duplicate it.

Wasn't there a couple of years break in there when he tried to duplicate the Bonneville with the W650, also?

Absolutely impossible as there was no Road Glide in '85. There was a Tour Glide, though. You should be ashamed of your lack of knowledge since you ride a Harley.

Or did you mean Road King? When I tell someone what I ride and they ask what it is, I tell them it's Kawasakis version of the Road King. They figure it out after that. :(

element,
Yeah, we definately will get together one day and ride. We will.... give it a little time. Before I ride, I've got to install a new fuel pump. My pump is sounding so bad, I know it's about to go out any minute.

Yes, I meant King, not Glide.
