I am a Nomad convert

Hi All, I've gotta I'm loving the new bike. Whilst I still enjoy riding my Meanstreak, I cannot stay off the Nomad. I cannot believe how well it handles and how well balanced the whole bike.

Just added a Grasshopper backrest, (Neat peice of kit) Made such a difference to the comfort, due to my lower back problem,

Welcome aboard, I don't think youll find anybody having anything negative to say about the Nomads here. Ive ridden a couple of Meanstreaks and love the power they have compared to the Nomads. You seem to have the best of both worlds.

Soley - you are battin a 1000. You hit a homerun with the Nomad and the Kawanow Forum. Both are great choices. The more you ride and the more you hang out here you will see why the Nomad is number 1 in our book. Welcome!!!
