The Nomad is a keeper....But..

[towering]

I test rode the v2k and wasnt impressed with it. Felt like a harley.

Seems to me that I have seen a V2K on the web that is set up as a Nomad and it looked right.

I guess you meen this.

It´s Rolf Gustavsson´s, a member of Vulcan Riders Sweden.
He really makes some nice bikes, and trailors. Here´s his website:

Thanx! All thse pics are from near you then huh? I see white birch trees, and blue spruce, others i am not sure what they are..

Must be like New Hampshire there. Must be early Spring with the yellow forsythia. (pic with green bike)

(black bike) appears to have silver maple trees another northern type like what we have here.

On my system the trees are blurry, and i can't tell what other trees in the pic might be.

I seldom leave my New England upper 3 states.

Just curios about other places I may never get to go see.

I can't read a word of that link! You guys have a different word for everything!

[lasse]

Go to Mc pics, it´s in a language you´ll understand..

[macmac]

Yeah I was looking around... He runs, flies model planes, skis cross country, has a family and a dog .

He can lay up fiberglass very well I think..
Made bigger like Nomad saddlebags and other things all by hand..

I am impressed to say the least.

Are you going to trick out your V2K 2000 to be this way as well?

Are you going to trick out your V2K 2000 to be this way as well?

No. I think I´ll just repaint it, and maybe some minor rebuild.
I worked so hard last winter, when I did the Nom+trailer,
so I think I´ll take it easy this winter.. ;)

[macmac]

if you got a shop place winter makes a good time to get these things right.. I admired the trailer as well as the Nomad. I can't decide which car that trailer reminds me of most.

Has been a long time since I saw little engish cars like that. Sort of B 100/ Austin Healy 3000ish, maybe MGA, but not quite.

Pulling off that look with the 1600 is harder. The 1500 has better lines for the task, more classic looking.

Do trailers not need a lic plate there? Some states here want them and a few don't, my state does.

Do trailers not need a lic plate there?

No, we don´t need plates on trailers pulled by a bike.
You can build a trailer, and the only thing the law demands is
that the tires are made for the speed and load, and that it
has lights, break lights and turn signals.
But our hitches has to be approved by some EU regulation,
and has to be controlled by a certified controller.
A bit strange if you ask me. ???

[macmac]

In the states we can only buy DOT certified hitches.. I would assume any hitches you could buy would be so.

Well maybe that isn't true for bike hitches which are pretty much custom made, and you assume the risk.

I get the point though. There is a fee you must pay to a Govt employee. That is what the plate gets us here, a fee we pay.

As of late there is a lot of fees to pay these uppity so-called public servants.
