First off, let me say hello to those that I've conversed with in the past, Robin of Thorn, Scott of Tea, Hoogie of NZ and others...
One of my fav images of my Nomad is the first Thorn shown in the loaded touring bike photo gallery. It's a fab ride that I'll surely never let go of and have designs on riding it to the corners of the earth one of these years.

It's a high image quality gallery for loaded touring bikes. For the sake of keeping the theme and keeping the gallery relatively small, bikes *must have* four panniers or two up front and a loaded trailer. Shots have to be big, clear and from the side with nothing obstructing the bike, such as the rider on it. They also should be taken while on tour as I'll turn away any images that look overly staged. Extra drool for a sweet background but the bike must span most of the frame. If you throw out the image from Norway of the Atlantis, you have a pretty good guide in what I'll accept just bike examining the other 30 photos.
Tailwinds!
