Thanks,any time I can send somebody over the rails like that it puts a big smile on my face! But so everyone is clear I don't hate the T-bird,there are a few things that I have mentioned previuosly that I don't like,all styling save the radiotar,and I have purchased every motorcycle magazine that has printed a review on it,for instance Ironhorse Magazine issue 126 page 41"The Thunderbird is very well planted and handles better than most bikes IN THIS CLASS",or Motorcyle Cruiser August 2009 page 28 "If it successfully staddles its siblings in the motor department,it only emulates the lighter cruisers in handling."Should it be cruiser of the year?Absolutley,it's better than every other cruiser to come out this year,Would I like to ride one,yes.Does it outhandle a Speedy/America with upgraded suspension?as soon my dealer let's me test ride one I'll know for myself.My Speedy is the light,sleek,sexy wife I love to show off,the T-bird is the fat girl I would like ride on the side for fun! Oh and everyone should commend themselves on aggravating each other so much that they are talking about us on other forums.
