I finally turned 10K on my America today. Not bad for 2 years in the North East. I took a ride to the seacoast and enjoyed riding Route 1 up to Kennebunk Port, ME. She still runs like a champ and looks great. I don't think I've ever bought anything in my life that I like better and better as time goes by. I was considering a Rocket but I can't bare to part with my America.

Well said. I've had mine since June '03 and feel the same as you. It's nice to feel like you got your money's worth from something for a change, let alone the enjoyment that goes with it.

Outstanding Ron! I agree, I've had Raven since September 01 and I would have no more thoughts of selling her than I would my wife!  Crap, did I just type that out loud?

Is she a 6' Navajo speaking Asian with a sandwich making fetish? I'm still looking.

Just turned 7500 miles on TBA purchased 5/19/06, I just hope the unusual warm weather continues. Some people go to therapy, I drive my TBA 85.

I'm working on 11k now. I ride every day, rain or shine. I haven't found anything that works for me better and the best riding time of the year is just getting here! As for the wife, it took me a long time to find a 5'2" part Pequat with a sandwich making fetish and the ability to put up with me. I guess I'll have to keep her.

Got 14,600 miles since Sept 04. Not bad for the Northwest. I still love her, but she needs valves adjusted and other work this winter.
