23k no sweat.

I'm up to about 10,000 on our 07 and it set in the shop for a month last summer when I T-boned a 16 year old left turner
in a SUV. That's the only problem I've had.
I got to tell you man your bike looks great. If it wasn't for the wife needing a place to sit I'd have the rear seat and backrest off in a heart beat.

5,000 miles on the clock in a little over a season of riding. Plan on more than doubling that this year.

23k no sweat.

I just rolled over 30,000 miles about a week ago.

Most of those miles were commuting to work and back for nearly 5 years, but they were still a pleasure. Other than the normal coolant seepage issues (which I fixed) and now some very minor cam plug seepage (which I haven't) this has been a very trouble-free machine. I do go through a lot of brake pads and tires riding stop & go traffic all the time, but on a heavy bike that's expected.

Aaaaahhhhhh, spring has a way of putting a smile on our faces. Getting the Nomads out could have something to do with that also.

Liz just traded off her 4 year and 4 week old, 04 Nomad with almost 58,000 miles on it for her 08 Nomad which turned it's 1000 mile yesterday. And I rolled over 40,000 miles on my 05 Nomad yesterday. I purchased it the 3rd week of July in 05.
