My new ride.
Just got a new (to me) ride last week. Its an 08 Nomad 1600 with 7200 miles on it. Blue N Silver.
Painted and Added the reckless fairing Friday. We tryed to match the silver but it turned out to dark. I ordered the OEM Blue from color rite today. Should have it repainted before the Rally. Fingers crossed. Took it for a run on the Moonshiner 28 this past weekend. I really like the way it handles.

If that was my Nomad, I think I would trailer her so she wouldn't get dirty!
See you at the rally.

Thanks everyone... I am happy with her so far but seems like the 1500 has more power. I hope the stock cat and breather are holding it back.
I will proly trailer her to the Rally.
