And now for something completely different



Earlier this year I traded in my old scoot for a new and improved (how can that be?) bike. I settled on the Kawasaki Nomad. This bike is a bit larger than the Intruder
(Ok, it's much larger at 1600cc's rather than 800cc's - but hey, size doesn't matter, right?), and much more comfortable. It also comes loaded with highway bars, driver and passenger floorboards, hard/locking saddlebags and a windshield. Cruising in style these days.



So far, it's effectively stock except for the risers, auxiliary lights and saddlebag top rails. Oh, and of course the GPS. But in the coming months, I'll be adding new grips, highway pegs for cruising, an aftermarket fuel management computer and new pipes for a little volume. At least now, people can see me coming!
