100,000 miles!
Well, heck, I forgot to brag on my bike last week. I just passed the 100,000 mile mark on my 99 Nomad!
I'm amazed how well it still runs even with the way it has had to endure pulling a loaded trailer all over the United States. I guess I'm near the halfway point to the bike and I expect to get another 100,000 miles on it in the next 10 years.. or sooner if possible! ;) .

Nicely done pal!
No doubt the 99 (once the pog has been replaced) is an amazing ride! And I am a little partial toward the green on green. :)

Congrats. What kind of repairs did you make in that many miles?

Good for you and the ride. I guess the 1500's are the cream of the crop.
