    I decided on the 2010 (new) Nomad over the Voyager. There are a solid 11 miles on it now after my test ride. I like the looks of it better (not quite so large looking) and it was quite a bit less expensive. Very plush as well. A far better platform than my ZX or XJ's for two up riding. I did order a factory trunk for it but that won't be in for a few days. I'll get some more pictures soon.

    Another plus: hydraulic tappets! :D

    Cheese and Rice Brad!
    Are you trying to beat out Hogfiddles Dave for the longest signature list?
    :lol:

    Looks like a rather comfy ride!

    Cool.
    On another topic, what is that weird looking jet ski in the background? It looks like it is on some me kind of track mounted trailer or something. I've lived near the water most of my life down here in the south, and I've never seen anyone haul their PWC around on a contraption like that.

    That thing in the background is a snowmobile. Those are so much fun during the winter when I can't ride my bike.

    Snowmobiles here are referred to as "winter bikes"

    Around here we call them 'snowsickles', too...
    For those who complained that signatures were too lengthy, you can feel better now---- I haven't listed any of those ----

    Dave, I think you're in the running for the Gold Medal.

    I've heard that them "Snowsickles" can be watercraft as well. You just can't slow down or your swimming.

    Wish my garage looked like that!

    Dave - my comment was not a complaint but one of admiration. . . .

    ...tell your neighbour to paint that trailer, it compromises the look of your bikes. His truck is OK though! ;-) ;-)

    Be sure to get those valves inspect and check the date codes on your brake lines and tires. Probably gonna need to get the carbs cleaned and do a running sync. Looks nice though :)
