New bike ordered

After shopping around on the internet and phone for the last 2 weeks I ordered a New 2008 Black Nomad from my local dealer.
He gave a as good a deal as anyone else I talked to.

So the new bike will be at his shop the middle of next week and he is taking my bike in on trade. My bike started making noise from the fuel pump, needs rear brakes, tires in the 3 to 6 thousand miles, cam chain extenders and it is time to do the drive shaft and swing arm lube. So with 56,000 miles on the odometer I did the swap.

My decision was also based on the fact I can transfer all of my accessories to the 08 where I could not on an 09. Especially my Corbin seat which I love. That and with saving a couple of thousand dollars to me made the trade a no brainer.

So I will get some new pictures posted in a couple of weeks. I won't get the fairing installed until warmer weather after I get it painted.

If you wanted to trade up, I think you made a very wise decision. Enjoy the new old ride.

Congratulations!

It'll be brand new but yet it'll feel real familiar.

Enjoy!
