Bought my Nomad new in 2001. Now has almost 57,000 miles on it and other than regular maintenance and addition of some mods, it's been doing great so far. Added the cam chain tensioner extenders at around 42,000 miles and although so far so good, Barnett clutch spring will probably be in it's future.

One of the Nomads I looked at before buying the one I did was a 2007 with 19K on the clock. The guy loved it and said he'd never had a single issue. With a second baby on the way he'd made the decision to spend more time with the family rather than ride. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

That's a sweet one Mick. I've been exchanging a few PMs with one of our other members on the subject of vintage/classic Triumphs. I've got a running 1967 TR6C and three project Triumphs, a 1947, '57 and '58 (all 650s). While I've had several unit construction Bonnies I am now partial to the pre-units.
I was trying to start my '67 a couple of months back and realized two things; I probably looked very foolish on it because it felt like the size of a bicycle and it was an absolute bear to kick it over. The old knees are what they used to be.

Thought you guys interested in cafe racers would like this. In my garage is a 1958 Velocette Venom. Just finished rebuilding the engine. The seat is out now being reupholstered. The exhaust is out being triple chrome plated. In 2 weeks the frame, tank and fenders are going out for a paint job. I am painting it carbon metallic black. Should be putting it back together in a month. I will post pics. I also have a original 1958 English license plate for it.

Ride till you drop!!!
I have a 2001 1500 Classic. I bought her with 10,995 miles in March 2010. I have passed the 50,000 mile mark this past Sept. I slowed down riding her because I bought a 2010 Voyager and have been racking up about 15,000 miles this year on her. Nice weather I ride the Classic, wet or cold weather I ride the Voyager. Both great bikes.
