New Guy From P'Town

06nad · 03-01-2010, 04:41 PM

Purchased a 2006 Nomad off of Craigslist about three weeks ago. Got it from a retired Navy guy who's wife divorced him shortly after he retired and took half his retirement pay (sucks for him, great for me). He had to get rid of some of his toys, so I paid off what was left on the loan and took her home.

Moved up from a 2008 Suzuki C50, great little bikee, especially as a first bike, but I knew when I bought it I would eventually be looking for something with a little more grunt. This Nomad is a beast. I just installed the Baron's Big Air Kit yesterday. The bike came with V&H Dual Baggers and I installed a Cobra FI2000R. Boy she runs hard, and the ride is like a Cadillac compared to the half it's size Suzuki. A group of us are riding out to Kentucky on 4/30/10 to 5/2/10 for the Derby, can't wait to get her on the road and air it out.

Prior to joining this forum, I hid in the shadows and got a lot of useful information prior to buying and how to install my upgrades after, (I think I may have crashed the "search" function a couple of times).

Thank you all for your help and expertise.

Welcome to the Nomad Nation from the Grand Canyon State! Several of us are former Vol/C50 riders. It was like going from a Corolla to a Lexus for me.

Welcome from Ohio. While in Kentucky take a day and ride the "Bourbon Trail" Nice roads and GREAT places to stop. Enjoy the Nomad. Hope to see you down the road sometime.
