Hi All. Just signed on the other day, and have already been enjoying the various posts. I live in the northeastern corner of Ohio, and I own a 2001 Nomad 1500FI that was purchased on Labor day of this year, so I am still a fairly recent convert to Kawaski. I previously owned a Suzuki C50T that I really enjoyed, but wanted something a little more substantial on the highways, and after researching my options, AND finding a killer deal, the Nomad was my bike of choice. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of your experiences here. Thanks in advance !!

It seems quite a few people find their way to the Nomads from the Suzis. Welcome.
