Brutish Nomad

metalman · 07-02-2010, 05:09 PM

Took the Nomad for a beer run today. The two of us weigh about 380 pounds (she's not fat) and we were pulling the trailer. The price was so good that we bought 4 cases of 16.9 ounce cans of beer. That works out to about 111 pounds of beer. Stuck the four cases in the trailer and headed home. No problem, but I did have to downshift a bit more than usual on the hills. The bike ran fine in 82 degrees air while using 87 octane fuel.

4 cases? I want to party with you, cowboy.

I like this kind of post. You know, the ones that end in drinking.

Where in Florida do you winter? I'm riding to your place at least a couple weekends to sample the brew!

AlabamaNomadRider · 07-02-2010, 10:16 PM

I'm with you Coach. What brand of beer did you say it was?

ells · 07-02-2010, 10:55 PM

If I recall, the count was 46 or 47, yes some is Pepsi but you get the idea.

Okay, so this is probably about the 4th time I've posted this but it seems to keep coming up...err, the topic that is.

Ells, all you need to do now, is find a way to refrigerate those bags to keep the beer/soda cold

Da*n Ells, that looks like the beer truck that pulls up and opens the sliding doors!

TB, Nice touch putting that lid in the beer to protect it. What a sacrifice. Yer the MAN!

I bet I know that parking lot.

The beer is Fuller's London Pride. Apparently they use metric cans and convert to the American system for labeling, therefore 16.9 ounces (1/2 liter). The brew is excellent; dark, not much carbonation, and a real beer taste. Nothing like that sissy Lite beer.

I am in KY this summer, but intend to bring a few cases to FL to enjoy as I watch the crude come into the canal.
