Congrats on the new ride! Just read your blog and added myself to your "followers". That doesn't sound creepy, does it?

As long as you're only following me on the blog and not down any dark alleyways.

It rode like a champ. Didn't skip a beat.

I put 10% more miles on the bike in two days. I don't think it had ever been ridden like the true touring bike it is. It was thanking me the whole way home!

Jared,

Congrats on your new Nomad, I'm sure you will transform it to another bike even the previous owner will not recognize it.

I must say, I'm jealous of this entire deal, that is, buying a bike, flying there to take ownership of your new bike and riding several hundred if not a thousand miles back home, on your new bike. That is one hell of a road trip.

Enjoy your new ride.

E.

Congrats on the new bike. All you have to do now is add red to it and you will have the two fastest colours :-)

Blue flame clear-coat metallic might be cool. It's looks good on a F150.

Not a fan of stock paint. Looks just like everyone elses bike I know how to paint and have access to a booth, so it's a relatively cheap modification.

Wish I had those skills and "hook ups". I want to paint mine too, but don't want to shell out the funds to have it done. One day, though... one day. :)
