Back in December my wife and I bought a 2005 Lexus convertible 430sc. the car is amazing and so fun. so last Friday my wife says" hey lets go for a ride".
I say "lets take the lexus" she says "no" so off on the Nomad we go. Usual Long Island ride down the Jones Beach but this time I head west on ocean pkwy. She says "where are you going?' I say "Just cruisin around" after a few minutes in the Minieola traffic she says" you are going to the Indian dealership. "
I just smile. Sooooooo
I did not have the intention to buy the Roadmaster at first. I enjoy looking at the Indians and have ridden a Chieftain a few times but I test drove the Roadmaster and just couldn't resist its lure this time. So while my wife is jokingly complaining, I said "I told you we should have took the Lexus".8

So yes everyone after 5 Trouble free years with the Nomad I can say I had a great time with her. My wife and I had ridden all over Northeast with her and Now its time to part ways. My wife eyes teared up when we sold the Meanstreak now she is going to be sad about the Nomad going. I will stop by and let you all know how the Indian does if anyone is interested.
Congrats. A buddy I ride with just boughtbthe Road Master about a month ago. Black with the Natural leather colored seats. Gorgeous bike. It is not exactly my cup of tea but beautiful none the less. The fit and finish are excellent and the Polaris motor is bullet proof. You will love it and I am sure the wife will too, that thing is built for long distance riding and comfort. Good luck.

Glad to see that you are moving on to another bike. I have followed many of your posts and the mods that you have done to you bike.

Just because you are getting another bike you can still stick around on the forum. Keep us up to date on your thoughts on the Indian.

+1 at this point I think VBA stands for Various Bagger Association. I would love to hear feedback on your new bike.
