This reply is kinda directed toward Pat, but if anyone else has input then chime in.
I located a 2004 Thunderbird Sport that is in pristine condition in my area. It can be
viewed at this CycleTrader site. Anyway, if I bought that rig, I could continue accessorizing to my hearts content, and by the time I spent as much on that as I would some exotic machine, I'm thinkin I might be a whole lot more satisfied.
Then (and Pat, this is where you might offer some knowledge) maybe many of the parts off my beloved Speedy might be interchangable.
Any thoughts?
