A real motorcycle?

[pastorgumby]

I get insulted nearly everytime I go out with a crew (they all ride Harley's) -- they need something to poke fun, since I won't budge, blush, or wince! I know what i'm riding, and i like it alot!

Cubic Centimeters / 16.387 = Cubic Inches

That's what is known as the "Harley" Mentality. It's not rational ::)[/quote]

I love that!

Gee, I thought my bike was real. Now I realize it is just a figment of my imagination and when I am out riding I must really be asleep and dreaming.

:) so if the nomad engine is 1552cc's and is 95 cubic inches which
it is,how is it that the harley which is 1550 cc.s is 96 cubic inches?

That the reason the wife has a hd and I ride my nomad and since we got married she rides on the back of mine about 86% of the time and I don't ride hers at , don't like the sporster at all it rides like a rock . I'll stick to my nomad those other wantabes can spend all thier money on that HD .

just got back from sturgis, funny thing is i had 3 nomad owners come up and talk "bike" with me. None of my "harley" riding companions had anyone come up and talk about their bikes ! Guess they just dont have anything to say about their "cookie cutter" bikes !! One guy i talked to said " Harleys are a dime a dz out here, its nice to see something different !

I don't have anything against any brand, (other than the inflated prices of some)but I like the way my Nomad stands out in the crowd.

I find it funny that they only come out on weekends. They're being individuals, together!

A 96 CI engine should equal around 1573 CC's.

There's a reason that you see more Harley's on trailers than you do on the road.... personally, I'd like to RIDE my bike to where I'm trying to get to instead of pulling it off the trailer when I get there.

I guess you can imagine the verbal beat-down that idiot would have gotten from BD right??

Even better: Use Google. It can do all sorts of measurement conversions.

Type in "1552cc in cubic inches" (without the quotes)

The last guy to rag on me about the Nomad was really funny. I was in the my liquor store at about 8 PM getting a beer order ready. This guy comes in and starts with "Who rides the Jap Crap Honda" I told him it was a Kaw and he started in on me about being a trucker an "American business man" and how the Mexican tomatoes were bringing an end to the world as we know it. I told him I also was a business man and he was standing in my business and it just so happened I had done 500 miles that day in a semi. He got pissed bought some imported liquor and went outside and started talking on his "American made" cell phone. Oh and the guy has no motorcycle.
