My New Bike 2008 Nomad

topdogjim · 10-01-2009, 08:36 PM

Not the best picture but the dealer drove up with it from the DMV and I jumped on it and the pictures started.
Now for the info on the bike, (from what I know). It has a lot of added mod's that I won't have to buy.

2008 Kawasaki Nomad 1600 7800 miles
Some Riser's that are perfect for me.
A Tach (Barron's)
Saddle Bag Chaps
Driver's Back Rest
Cobra Pipes (nice) grrrrrrrrrr
Luggage Rack
Light Bar
Pin Stripping
Front and Rear Highway Bars
Anyone else from Connecticut area?

I'm sure you, like me will find you made two good decisions.
1. Buying the Nomad. (Great machine)
2 Logging in here. (Great people)

Best I can tell from looking at the picture, you have a great bike. It really looks sharp. You are going to enjoy it a bunch.

skeeter · 10-02-2009, 01:21 AM

now you can ride before the snow flies. oops! I said that four letter word.

topdogjim · 10-02-2009, 03:47 AM

Yes I logged a quick 100 miles on it yesterday after it finally came back from the DMV. It took the guy two and half hours to register it for me. I was pacing the dealership floor and sat on every bike in the place. BTW the Nomad was the best bike...
I moved up from a Suzuki C50T (800) to this so it was a huge jump for me. The first thoughts are,
1. It shifts like butter.
2. Rides like a dream
3. Rear brake actually feels like a brake
4. Love the bigger mirrors
5. Risers are cool
6. It eats highways up
7. I didn't feel like I just got beat up after the ride

Thanks for the welcome guys, can't wait to ride with other Nomad guys from the Nomad Nation.
