  • New from NW Iowa

    Just a quick intro:
    Got back from Afghanistan this past August after being gone for about a year. Actually bought my Vulcan Nomad while I was overseas and had my father-in-law go pick it up. I had a Honda Shadow Aero 750 before that and did a few long rides and an Iron Butt ride and decided I wanted a big bagger, so I got my Nomad. In the process now of adding a fairing and will have that done by Spring.

    Got a big trip planned for this summer. Me and a few buddies are going to visit all 99 of the Iowa courthouses and take a picture of our bikes in front of the courthouses. Should be an awesome ride!

          Well we are planning on taking it June 14-17. According to Streets and Trips, we will be in Muscatine around 10am on the 15th (Friday)

          I plan on posting a more detailed trip log when it gets close. Hope we can meet lots of people on the way and maybe get a few to ride along for some parts of it

              Planning on camping. Depending on how far I get with other mods on my Nomad, I might get a hitch then we can have a bigger tent for the four of us in a trailer, otherwise I will use my Army combat popup tent and try to borrow three others for the other guys I'm with

                            Will do. We'll be going that way for our big trip too, maybe you'll get the chance to ride along with us for a bit of it
