For the 'bagger' crowd, my accessorised bike.... I am obviously schizoid owning both bikes. [image]http://  [/image]

That's nice, Troy! I'm guessing used, did you score a good deal?

Troy,
Cool! I have an America and a T100, I love having the choice in the AM of what to ride to work. The Bonnies are just plain fun, but I would not ride to the Ark. Rally on mine.

Yes it is a great alternative ride for someone who lives in the Ozarks. If I had to ride days to get to these really cool roads wouldn't be able to do it... course i'm a lot older than you and am already looking for a less agressive riding position with different bars.

I like the clear lenses on your turn signals. Where did you find those?

From an English seller on ebay known as classicbits. His ebay store is:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Classic-Bits
The lenses are not a perfect fit. You have to oval out the screw holes and then they sit on the edge of the light rather than into the groove the OEM lenses fit. But pretty decent fit and I liked the look.

Got the header pipes ceramic coated. They looked a bit rough since someone had used wrap on them at some point.

That Bonnie sure is a good looking bike. I want one. Got a question for you... out of the two bikes, which one handles best in the twisties? I test rode a T100 but it was just a short ride... not long enough to make an assessment. Really liked the rider position though. 'Felt' like I was more in control.
Live to love, love to live.

They both handle well but the Bonne turns in quicker and you can scuff the sides of your boots with no effort at all. If flickability is a real attribute it's got it. I love the America too but it is more leisurely in comparison. My HD buds are amazed at how they handle.
