My first ride of any distance on the Nomad

[tkd]

Ok, So I'm sure many of you are going to laugh at this, but since getting the bike 10 days ago, I haven't had a chance to really drive it anywhere more than 3 or 4 miles away. Today, I actually got to take the bike out and get it up to speed for a about 15 miles each way. I can definitely see where the Nomad's strength lies. It is a very smooth ride and to me it was totally amazing how nearly all hints of uneasiness over road imperfections around 45-50 miraculously went away around 60.

It seemed the faster I went, the smoother it got, which could be a dangerous thing me thinks. And the engine seemed to run smoother after having been worked a little vs. the around town stuff.

Only downside to my bike is the V&H pipes. I actually had a Roadking sneak up on me from behind due to the noise. I hate wearing earplugs, but I think they are gonna be necessary for my tender ears since pipes aren't in the cards right now.
