Well then, you don't have much of an excuse not to be there, book your room and plan on having a great weekend. They're a great bunch of guys to hang out with for a couple days.

You do lose a bit of visibility in front of the bike with a fairing, but I never had a problem and got used to it very quick. Now I don't even think about it. Now that I have one on the bike I would never want to be without it.

It must have been the seat on this Harley then ( I think it was a Corbin ) 'cause I'm 6 foot and my direct line of sight was staring at the radio. I have sat on a gold wing, a Victory Vision and the New Voyager, and I don't remember them restricting the view that bad.

Still have the bike raised up on the jack ... too tempting to take it down because i know I will hit the road and with the amount of sand on the roads, I may hit it and not in a good way. Supposed to have about 4 days of rain coming so that will help

We are supposed to get that rain this weekend as well. With a little luck I should get out for a quick ride early next week.

Lucky you, it's turned rainy and cold here. I did get to work on the bike today though. Finally got around to installing an accessory plug.

Enjoy, you guys are getting what we had last week.

The City started sweeping the streets Monday, changed the oil last night, currently +14 so I rode the bike to work today the weather is supposed to stay nice until the weekend so looks like I will get a couple of rides in. Just my youngest son (13) and I around tonight so I think we will have to go for a little ride after work.

I seen that they had the street sweepers out in the town where I work, so far they havn,t been out around home yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer.

Quite a few bikes showing up on the roads around here. Today I did my good deed and was designated driver, driving both my brother and my buddy to pick up their bikes from storage. Tomorrow with nothing left to check on the Nomad but the tire pressure, I should get a chance to go for a first ride of the season.

Good to hear Norm, I have been riding since the 14th, Looking forward to the 2010 season, Take Care ....Donnie

Got out for that first ride today, and all I can say is, man I forgot how much I love the Nomad.

[nomadbehappy]

+1 on loving the nomad. I just got mine in October, had a shadow ace before that and this bike is great.... comfortable, lots of power, and really nimble for its size. I was a little worried about going from a 750 to a 1600 but it handles like a dream. Plan to keep this one for a while, just bought an old voyager trunk, will order a reckless fairing in a few months and probably the lowers over the winter ... so much for promising my wife I wouldn't do any mods for at least a year ::)
