Welcome, skitch! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Welcome to the site. You will enjoy your America, but if you had got a Speedmaster you would enjoy it more.

Welcome to the site! And most people around here, if they would be honest, knows that the America's are better looking, and faster, thanks to the additional chrome. Dave will back me up on this one! Right Dave?

He tells the truth! Also, flames add a 17% power increase! Unless of course, your bike is actually on fire, then it's a pretty big loss.

You can't trust a chrome-aholic or those corn huskers...  A red Speedmaster is the sexiest.

The Black America's are the fastest. They keep getting even faster as you add chrome accessories.

What's up in Buffalo, Skitch? They still have heated carburtators I presume? Nice to know you have them at 2:30 am when the temp is around freezing.
