Yet another Newbie

[ross]

First off, Happy New Year to everybody here.

Yes I am another newbie on this board. I was scrounging around the google page and typed in Nomad boards. Guess what, it took me here.. :) I looked around, read a few posts and decided to join if the good people would have me..

I do own A 2004 Nomad. I was fortunate enough to find it in Dec. of 2006 on the dealer showroom still untitled. I was looking for something to give me a different ride than my 2002 Goldwing.

So far I have been very impressed with my Nomad. It definitely is a different ride that I enjoy. Now when the wife rides we take the Wing. It is definitely more comfy for her than the Nomad. When I ride solo 80% of the time I take the Nomad. Last year I rode a combined mileage of 17,000 miles. 7050 of those miles were on the Nomad.

I have only been riding since Sept. of 2000. After having a heart attack and going through one heck of a car wreck I got up one morning and told myself it was time to get a motorcycle.. Always wanted to ride but always put it off.. ??? ???

Since I purchased my first motorcycle I have had two more heart attacks and other setbacks that have led to a freshly installed pacemaker. 12/13/07. One never knows what tomorrow will bring so if at all possible do what you want to today. I did not write that originally but it fits here. ;) ;)

After owning several types and brands of motorcycles for the previous six years the Nomad was the first "cruiser" style bike I have owned, and I must say it FITS.....

I also belong to the VROC and must say they are a great bunch of people also. I have attended a few rallies and get-togethers and enjoyed each one of them.

Enough about me, I just want to say "Howdy" and am looking forward to learning more about the Nomad and maybe meeting some of the people here...

Welcome Ross! Hope your last heart attack WAS your last!! Enjoy the craziness here and the great people that are here....and Happy New Year to you too

Welcome Ross, I'm another Newbie. I think you will find the people friendly, the advice outstanding, and the humor questionable. (lol) Glad to see another Mid westerner in the Forum. I used to live in Lebanon, Ind. way back in my high school days. Good Luck and safe riding.

Welcome Ross. I too am the proud recipient of "3" Heart Attacks and bought a bike. The Nomad is My second bike. I used to own a 2004 Suzuki Volusia. People say to me all the time "aren't you scared"? I tell them Nope, God already gave the the memo on how I'm leaving. Might as well make it one heck of a ride! Stay strong.
