Been gone for almost a year and a half.....Still miss my America. I tried the Tiger1050. Funny thing, I liked it O.K. but it just never felt right. Bottom line, I like tube tires, spokes and chrome. The thing just never felt like it had any soul. So, I am back on the forum and looking for my next ride. Man it is good to be home!  Ezcue

Welcome back. I like having tubes, spokes, carbs, and a chain as well. It definitely feels like a modern day classic cruiser to me.

Welcome back. Ryan has an '03BB which is not only a fine ride but would be a good fly-n-ride for you! 600 miles thereabouts.

It will have to be an America 2002 to 2005 or early 2006. Not terribly concerned with color as I did not realize at the time but one of the things I missed most about not having my old ride was the fact that I could tear into it, re jet, fool with the carbs, tinker with farkles, change paint, etc.etc.....you know tinker with it. The Tiger is a truly awesome maching but a little to techno gizmo'd for much back yard wrenchin/ custom stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. I remember seeing that bike at GA 07. I think he was trying a set of flat side carbs then. Bike was always clean as a pin and ran great. That is a serious list of goodies. Thanks again.

What's up folks ? Yeah I'll be making a return as well. As soon as I sell my tiger I'll begin searching for an America to "adjust" to my wishes. Can't go back to the T100 ... fine ride but a tad smallish for me. So America it is. Although I fully intend to have whatever America I get my hands on painted exactly like my beloved T100.
