It may have been accidented and rebuilt from what parts could be found.

then he needs to declare it has a salvage title.

The wheels appear to be from a Nomad. The fenders are probably cut.
I would think this a salvage bike.

I like the spoiler also, Wounder where he got it? Other wise as others have said not my taste and defiantly not a Nomad.

Uguly!

It not only ugly, it's U-Glee. Right on, Ponch.

If it was a nomad, he ruined it.

To each, their own. Just because some of us think it doesn't look good, that doesn't mean it doesn't look good to someone. Some of my many mods might not be to someone elses taste, but I like them (and they're unique...who else has put Harley bags on a Nomad?).

**Top Cat** · 04-28-2012, 11:46 AM

I don't think it is a bad lookin bike.
If it was all I had I would ride it.
When I do mods to my bike I don't do them to please others or the next owner. I do them because I like the way they look.
Sure I have seen bikes and cars and even houses that I thought "What the hell were they thinkin"

But if they are happy, that is what counts.

I think this is the nicest thing you've ever said on the board. Why the sudden change I wonder?

You guys are a freakin riot.
Mike, you obviously don't read all my posts or you have me confused with someone who doesn't post here anymore.
I am a very friendly guy with a good sense of humor, always trying to help other members with their problems.
Norm, Cindy never gets on this site unless I have her look at something I find interesting. Lately that hasn't happened alot.
While I have your attention Norm, send me a pic of the art work you guys used on the rally shirts. You sent it once before but I can't find it.

**cnc** · 04-28-2012, 10:36 PM

PM sent Tim.

I'm well aware of you friendly good sense of humor. Like that time you ran over a squirrel!

You got Cindy typing the nice stuff or somethings going on. The Bad Top Cat we know and love would have been very brutal about the Candy Ass Classic Puss Blue Nomad and at least tried to bring somebody to tears.

Mike, you got me all wrong man.
Why just this morning I was in town and ran into a guy asking for a $1 so he could get inside where it was warm and have a cup of coffee.
I felt so bad I gave him $10 and told him to get something to eat with the coffee.
As I turned to walk away I noticed he was shivering so I gave him my jacket and hat.
That's just who I am.

Then he asked where I lived so I gave him Loafers address.

Hope Loafers not on sentry watch from his tree house when the guy shows up, he'll probably shot him, especially if his hair is a little long.
