Just hit 15,000 miles

Kyleman87 · 08-30-2018, 11:17 PM

I was tinkering with my nomad tonight. Installed an oem heel shifter, which wasn’t on my bike when I purchased it. And tilted my windshield.

I only needed 25 more miles to hit 15k.

I decided to cross the Ohio river into the communist state of Illinois.
Turned around and came back. When I made it back to Ky. I filled her up with non ethanol. It turned over 15k when getting back on the interstate.

I’m thrilled with my new bike, and excited to see it hit a milestone. I hope to see many more miles with this sweet ride.

Btw 1st to 2nd shift is much better now with the heel shifter. I don’t know how I ever did without it.

Floor boards and Heal toe is the only way to go. Congratulations on the 15,000 Mile Mark.

Glad to hear you're enjoying your bike. The best time to ride is almost here.
I'm ready for fall.

I've lived in Illinois my whole life and the state has really gone down the crapper. As soon as my son finishes college we are planning on moving to Tennessee.
