Sold the Nomad

redjay · 06-12-2011, 06:44 PM

It is with a heavy heart that I have to state I sold the Nomad today. I cant fully explain why, it just felt like the right time.
No new bike on the horizon right now. Whatever it is it will be a metric, but probably not a Kawasaki. They are not making anything I fancy at the moment.

I want to thank everyone on the forum for their help and camaraderie over the last 3 years. It is without doubt a great forum.

I hate to hear that but a person has to do what they need to do. Was you satisfied with the deal? Don't be a stranger on the forum. I have enjoyed reading your posts.

You have to trust your instincts. Sometimes you godda do what you godda do.

Don't be a stranger 'round here. We can use good company anytime.

Doc !!! So glad to see you back online with us!
I know you must have been going through some rough times this last while and I've thought about how you were doing. I hope life is a little easier for you these days.

Definately stick around, there may be a bike you like come along in the future. Some of the new Triumphs are really nice.

Sorry to hear this Redjay, but I certainly understand. I have always believed that a man's gotta do... what a man's gotta do.

Stay on the forum if you like. The KawaNOW membership number issued to you is yours for life.

Redjay....I can identify...I sold my wonderful 07 nomad about a year ago as I was just getting to "frail" to handle the weight in parking lots and at slow speeds...I still lurk here a good bit..I was blessed to have gone to the Southeast Rally in June 2010 my first and only rally ever and it was the trip of a lifetime up and back on the Blue Ridge Parkway..

I now have a third generation Honda Magna V4 (94-03 models are third generation).....it is perfect for me, especially the weight, around 550 lbs, the extreme smoothness and the very ample power if I want to step on it..

All regards,
