well went o the dealer today to trade in my america. very bitter sweet. about a 40 mile ride and it was cold. america ran great tho. get up there and they go over it with a fine tooth comb. never thought i would get rid of it, now i know dealers hate engine mods. took the t bird for a ride and i must say the bike is amazing. it is everything i have been trying to make my america. it handles better, power of course is great, 6 gears willl take some getting used to. i think the thing i am most impressed by was the brakes. this bike will stop in a dime no matter how fast your going. suspension felt good so i dont think that will be changed. all around great package at a great price. fyi triumph is on a new kick not to sell bikes under msrp so if you get freight and setup taken off your doing good. cant wait to get it with the triumph big bore and british customs pipes on it. biek felt almost to refined and needs pipes bad. if i did not know better i would not have known it was even running when i was riding it. have some pics of it in my webshots if you all want to check it out.

Cool man, congrats! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
