Is it just me or have we been getting more and more new members than ever before? I keep seeing posts by people that I don't recognize their screen name and when I look at the number of posts they have made it is less than 10. I am not complaining, but I am just wondering where they are all coming from and why they are showing up this late in the riding season. Are they all buying Nomads recently or is it just people finding out about this forum?

I think you're right texasfisherdude!! That and people that already have Nomads just might be staying home a little more than usual....so they're surfin the web more. OR....it could be that we just have the best damn bike in the world and people are just waking up to the fact!!! LOL!!! Either way...Bring 'em on....I love company!

+++1!

I'm not seeing more Nomads on the road, it must be that people are finding the group.

Well I'm am kinda new to this group
I was over at another forum (which I won't name, don't want to start a bunch of crap) and did not feel welcome there. If you were new to the group and asked a question or had an opinion, you were put down or you got jerk-off answers, not all of the members were like that but there were eought to make me look else where. And they never realy talked about bikes, road trips or realy anything to do with riding.I snoop around this forum for a few months, liked it . joined the forum and then e-mailed Trip and joined KawaNOW. This is now the only motorcycle forum I visit, you guys and gals are a good bunch. I don't think there are more Nomad riders, just those that are out there are now just finding y'all Thanks for letting me in

Well, when I joined 6 months ago I got #353 and now we are well over 600. I see plenty of Nomads here and there and am guessing it is both; people with them are finding us and people buying Nomdads are also finding us. At any rate it is nice to be a part of something good that is growing by leaps and bounds.

Welcome OLD MAN. I feel the same way. I visit a couple other boards but this is home. Great people here, even in person, lol. Gotta watch out for a couple of the fellows though.

For me, it is a combination of things.

1. Just got the Nomad a few weeks ago
2. Just found the board about the same time.
3. I heard there were some hotties on here. (y'all know who you are, now post some pics)

That's about it for me
