New from Northern Virginia
Just a quick intro, my name is Tom and I'm in Manassas, Virginia. I recently bought a 2006 Nomad in black with about 40k miles on it, sort of specifically for a November ride to Florida.
I do escort for an organization called Ride2Recovery which runs multi-day bicycle rides for wounded veterans. My wife and I both have 750 Shadow Aeros, and she's not comfortable with the distance. I told her no way we were riding a 750 two-up to Florida, she'd have to ride her own or buy me a bigger bike. So the Nomad will be the road bike, I plan to continue racking the miles up on my Aero. Hard to not ride the beast all the time though! I hope I can learn enough about the Nomad to become a contributing member of the forum. Until then, I'll be lurking!

Let me be the first to welcome you to this site. It is used by folks who love their Nomads and like to help others. Welcome from Nebraska.

Welcome from NC. Nomads are great for traveling long distances. The seat may or may not be a problem as you'll find out. Some of us have stock, after market, beads or air cushions.
Rest assured you made a good choice. I use to own a black '06 1600.
