I left the dealer a week ago with my '06 Nomad (Green & Silver). My wife and I had test rode one a year ago and knew it was the bike for us.
I had taken my '06 Suzuki C50 in for a valve check. While walking around kickin' tires I saw a green and silver '06 Nad for sale in the used bike area parking lot. Lust swept through me. I kept my feelings in check and walked away. When I came back an hour later it had a "SOLD" decal on it. Taking this as a sign I continued my tire kicking (5 hours for a valve check??). I was talking to the sales manager about the bike and he told me that they had another '06 green and silver that they had just taken in the day before. I checked it out and worked a deal to trade in my C50 before it even left the shop. It must have been fate. The C50 was a great ride and gave my wife and I 24,000 miles (smiles) in the past two years. I'm looking forward to learning the tips and tricks to the Nomad from ya'll.

Welcome to the Nomad Nation from the Grand Canyon State! I switched from a 2005 C50T to a 2007 Nomad a year ago.

You won't be sorry. Your story is somewhat like mine, walked in and there she was calling my name, so I can feel your lust. But very soon, that will become a feeling of joy and freedom. Congratulations!
Oh, want to talk about feelings, wait until you load her up, hit the road, and suddenly realize that she pulls and handles just as solidly as when you are soloing it. These are beautiful machines.
