Anybody else seen the ding in the gas tank on the second to last photo. Wonder how it got it.

ponch · 01-24-2014, 10:46 PM

Something stupid I am sure.

redjay · 01-25-2014, 05:46 AM

Is it a ding or a reflection of the car wheel ?

dmyers · 01-25-2014, 07:04 AM

It is a wheel

**Rasta** · 01-25-2014, 11:22 AM

It might be GIBBY! same color and mileage might be about right what he has put on since he got the bike!!

Neither would I, Mike.

Me neither, at least as a primary bike. Went to the bike show. When I checked out the HD section, the guy from Arrowhead HD insisted I sit on the CVO Limited and took my picture with my phone. BMW on the other hand was more like, ver are you papers, juden?, to take a line from a movie…The new RT is a sharp bike. I won't be getting one. The one sort of disappointment was Indian. Great looking motor, but the paint just doesn't do it for me. It's like when you see a repro of something and it has the fake patina. They should have gone for the deep paint like HD does. Just saying.

If I had $100K, I could have bought every bike I'd like to own today. Sometimes the eye candy is frustrating.

For a Kawasaki forum there sure is a lot of off brand praise around here.
I bought a 2007 Nomad new and put 88,000 miles on it then bought a 2008 to replace it.
I love the Nomad and will probably keep this one for as long as I can ride.
It does everything I need it to do

I agree about the Indian Red paint, not for me.

Interesting to know the entire story. Possible they just don't care for the bike, or perhaps a budget issue as they seem to be attempting to get out from under payments. Can't tell if that is a dent, but sure looks like it.

Really thought the CCT was my next bike but it wasn't "different" enough from my Nomad to justify the switch. The Vision was another story.
