Been riding 37 years. Been riding big V-twins for close to 20 of them. I was riding a Kaw Vulcan 1500 (great bike) when I walked into the Triumph shop with absolutely no plan of changing bikes. Fell in love with my America as soon as I laid eyes on it. My incredible wife said, "Buy it. You deserve it." (God, I love her.)
I took it for a ride and I've never looked back. Bigger is not always better.
