Welcome to the Nomad Nation from the Grand Canyon State! What's your location?

phenrichs · 01-22-2009, 11:57 AM

Welcome from SD!
Can I guess from your username that you have children who are fans of SpongeBob?
Or are you truly crabby?

**Cajunrider** · 01-22-2009, 12:09 PM

Welcome crabby from Southern Louisiana. Congratulations on the new bike. Is it an `08 or `09. Let us know where you are located.

oldbikers · 01-22-2009, 12:37 PM

Welcome from northern Mississippi come in and set down and tell us all about your self and your new bike.

landman · 01-22-2009, 01:23 PM

welcome from wyoming,enjoy your new ride.

crabbypaddy · 01-22-2009, 01:31 PM

Thanks for the welcome from all of you! I live in Indiana, I'm a career firefighter, and according to the guys who work for me I'm "crabby" (who would not be after 31 years lol) I'm Irish American (my grandparents immigrated from Cork) thus the "Paddy" so trying to think of a "handle" Crabby Paddy seemed a fit. I always wanted a big bike but never had the time or money. I am about 1 year or so from retiring so figured now was the time to dive in. My son rides a Harley and I have ridden his some last summer but after 2 months of research decided the Nomad was for me! Again thanks for the Warm welcome. My first name is "Pat"

**trip** · 01-22-2009, 01:57 PM

Welcome crabby. I just figured you really liked SpongeBob SquarePants.

rickyboy · 01-22-2009, 02:30 PM

Hi Pat and welcome to the forum, from Langley, BC, Canada. You picked the right bike and place to "yak" and learn about it. There are lots of knowledgeable people here that can solve or answer your questions.

**coacha** · 01-22-2009, 02:54 PM

Crabby, welcome to the board from west central Florida.

lw · 01-22-2009, 03:28 PM

Welcome to the NoMadness from Texas.

I hear tell "crabbyness" is directly proportional to the number of bugles on your collar brass. ;)
Your troops size-up may change the more you get to get out and ride, since riding is definitely an antidote to crabbyness.

Welcome to the madness.
I hope you have a wife that won't mind a 2 wheeled mistress.
