Watch Your Speed On A Nomad!

WOO HOO!!!! Hubby let me switch bikes yesterday while out riding. I got to lead on the Nomad, while he rode behind on my 900. Honest to goodness...I was riding along and LOVING it and every time I would look in the mirror, hubby would get further and further behind!!!! I asked him (we use the Scala Q2 headsets) why he was slowing down.....he let me know that he wasn't slowing down, I was steadily speeding up!!!!! When I looked down, I was up to 80 MPH and I SWEAR I couldn't tell I was going that fast!!!! I'm sure alot of this is probably because I am used to the louder 900 with more vibrations at higher speeds, but I am SO impressed with how smooth the Nomad rides! It's like riding in a nice car....you cruise along and suddenly realize you are going 90 MPH but it feels like 50 MPH ;)

I can't wait to get my own Nomad!!!!!
