Finally took delivery of our new Nomad today!

02-08-2008, 10:38 PM

The dealer is 60 miles away, so I had a nice ride bringing her home, and a chance to get acclimated. All I can say is "WOW!" I only wish I hadn't waited so long. This Nomad is far more motorcycle than I had imagined! Smooth, quiet, powerful enough for my needs, has extremely good handling, very stable, and the perfect "Interstate Eater." Like going from a Jeep to a Cadillac! I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember bringing my first one home 9 years ago. My son, who was 10 at the time, and I kept going out to the garage for another look.

Was a fun night. Enjoy.

Smokey, You describe her well, and it just keeps getting better.

Congratulations on your new bike!! they are certainly a nice machine to ride on. I still enjoy mine as much as the day I got it, hopefully you will to.

Good deal Bill, Let me get off these midnight shift and I'll come over and check her out. Know your going really like your Nomad.

You'll love it!

Congrats on the new Nomad.
I love the phrase "Interstate Eater". It is very fitting. We use ours to gobble up two-lane back roads as often as we can.

Welcome to the club.

Stories like that always bring a tear to my eye. I will be driving 87.5 miles to plunk down $400 more to put my baby on layaway today. Maybe they'll let me ride her round the parking lot? I may be able to get that 2000 Nomad and keep my 2000 Valkyrie too!
