New in Connecticut
Moved up from a 900 Triumph to a lightly used 08 Nomad. Getting used to the size difference and I love the Mustang seat the PO put on it. The bike seems to want to follow grooves in the road. Is this typical of these bikes? It's not a problem, but I am just surprised with such a long wheelbase it does this. It still has the original Bridgestone Excedra tires. Robert

Welcome from Oklahoma. If it still has the original Bridgestone on it I would change them out asap. I run Michellin Commanders.

Welcome from South Central Mass.
2008 on original tires? Dump them ASAP. I run Shinko 777 white walls. IMO, these are great tires for great money.
