A glimmer of hope...

I just received the September issue of Hot Bike Baggers and I thought I was dreaming when on page 36 is a test ride review of a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 LT! They gave it a favorable review, but it's almost comical to read a review of a metric bike by a writer who probably wouldn't be caught dead on one.

I almost fell off my toilet seat when I saw the article.

It seemed cursory and half-hearted. Perhaps it was their annual metric article to appease the rest of us. The love they give HDs is sickening.

Yeah no kidding. So I see I'm not the only one who was on the throne when I saw that article. I would love to see them put the Nomad up against the RK. Though I doubt they would admit the Nomad is better, sadly.
