First run of the year

chawnyboy · 04-06-2008, 07:33 PM

YEE HAW, I went on my first ride of the season today, actually it was my first real ride on a nomad, since my purchase in Nov. of last year, around 160 mi. The centre of gravity is a little different compared to my venture, but a great ride just the same. I will need to change the location of the hande bars, I'm not sure if I can get risers to fit with my OEM tach. Any suggestions!!! I'm pretty sure I will be investing in the Speed o Healer and a few other goodies. I'm looking forward to heading down to Elkins for the Eastern rally, once I get the go ahead from work I will be making my reservations.

Hi chawnyboy i cant believe you had your Nomad over 5 months without riding it

i bet it was driving you mad looking at that beautiful bike sat up in your garage, any way I'm sure you will catch up on lost riding time

That's good to hear chawnyboy , feels great doesen't it :)
I would think you could get risers to fit. It looks in your pic like the tach bracket just bolts to the top of the oem risers you have now.

Wow, the year is already 25% over. I guess we don't realize how fortunate we in the "sun belt" are at times.

Get in lots of riding before it gets cold again, and ride safe!

We have to ride them when we can here, winters like the one we had, can be a very long wait.

Hey ianicky, it was torcher, I had it stored 10 min. from my house. It was a long nasty winter ::) Hey TC, you damn right it feels good

. Yeah cactus, you guys down there are fortunate. If I cannot ride, I'm glad someone else can enjoy. :) Yeah, you said it Ring, after this last winter I was almost in shock to be able to get out yesterday.

If my pinion seal arrives tomorrow morning, I'll be riding it to work for the first time this season.
