Hi all, I am Denny Lauterbach, a new member from Leland, MI, just a bit northwest of Traverse City on the lake Michigan shore. I've owned my '99 Nomad since 2003, and had a Vulcan 750 for several years before that.
I'm still smiling about how I learned of KawaNOW in early June. I was returning form a visit to my grankids in Greensboro, NC, and wanted to go through "The Tail" on my way home. I've been there a couple tiimes before, but pulled over in Maggie Valley to check the map. So, I see a couple of Nomads sitting in the KMart parking lot, and park next to them. Out come 2 couples, who ask if I'm there for the KawaNOW convention. I said "what's that?", and soon I was marveling at all the great looking Nomads just a couple miles down the road. Thanks to the "Coach", and his wife and friends for including me. Turns out he and I were the only ones with the red/maroon combination. And he pointed out to me that mine was built in March, '98, so is really a '98, but labeled a '99. I'm embarassed to say thanks for jumping me when I left, Coach, because like an idiot I left my key on while I was browsing. Safe riding all. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Hi Denny, welcome from Sin City.
I remember Leland, MI. 10 years or so ago I sailed into that snug little harbor to hide a couple hours from a storm. I was singlehandling and was getting very tired. A couple hour nap while the rain poured and the wind howled was just what I needed.
