i love this site and i love my new to me nomad

i have really been covering this site, and i thought i would throw in a little of why i bought a nomad. i saw my first nomad in the 90's at a motorcycle show. it was dark green and i fell in love with it. i think it was the first year for it. this year at age 66 i decided i wanted one. i'm not new to motorcycles. i have an 08 wing , a vstar 1300, an 07 zx-14 kaw dragbike, and a yamaha majesty scooter. i have had about 75 bikes in the last 45 years, and have had about 5 favorites. my first was a new honda 305 scrambler, next a 450 honda, then several 750 hondas, an 89 v-max drag bike, i could go on and on. now that i have slowed down. i just love my 08 nomad. to me it is one of, if not the best looking bike i have ever owned. i noticed there is not a lot of bike bashing on this site. i like that. never met a bike i did'nt like. this bike has become my bagger project bike, and i am having a ball. i love to build fast and custom bikes. now that i have reached that slow down age. i have to face the reality that i just can't ride these fast bikes anymore. so this nomad is my new project. you all have some really neat bikes and i am getting some great ideas for mine. thanks to all and trip for the great site. i will be dropping in a regular donation for the great info. bill

Thanks for joining up, Bill. This is a great forum. Trip and the crew have done an excellent job over the years. You'll also find that when we all meet up at various events and rallys that the men and women of this forum are just as nice in person. I know I've learned a lot from this fine group. Welcome!! BnG
