Finally got my nomad!
Well I made the journey throughout southeast Michigan and down to the middle of Ohio yesterday, in whiteout conditions at some points, to pick up my nomad. It was pretty hard loading it in the trailer with all the snow and slush, and I thought we were going to lose it a couple of times but made it home without a scratch! I love this bike already. Now the 3 month wait until riding season :(

Nice, you've already been on an adventure with the bike and haven't even ridden it yet. Great things are coming!

You know, you could have sat on the bike for the trip home (preferably while someone else drove the truck). It wouldn't have been an actual ride (although you could have gone "VroomVroom" all the way) but it would have been something.

Ain't never been no better looking bike built, nor admired by so many.
Ain't that right smiley with the bow tie and mustache.

Congrats! I live in the middle of Ohio, it was warm enough to ride yesterday in comparison to recent weather right? :)

It was warm enough to ride today (north central Indiana) except for all the snow and ice still on the roads. I would have dealt with the rain.

My road is still pretty solid ice. And my black car looks white with all the salt dust.

I left my truck out in the rain for a while. It's much cleaner now.
