I like Mr. Bryant's bike and I sort of agree with his idea that the America looks like a Bonnie's big sister, big beautiful sister IMO. The first time I saw an America I though, "well they blew up a Bonnie". The only thing about the America I'm not completely happy about are the forward controls and kudos to Mr. Bryant on that. But, Mr. Bryant's efforts to transform his America from a Bonnie's fat older sister he has trans formed it in to a Thruxton's fat older sister.


That's not Bill Bryant's bike, but I'll bet he has a cool ride (probably a few anyway). Nobody here is dogging Nick (the owner of this bike). Bill Bryant is the author of a piece on this bike on another site (Chop Cult) of which I am a member. Bill takes a couple shots at our bikes (which is his perrogative) I think, because he prefers the look of the origional bonneville. I went on the thread on Nick's bike and stated that "I disagree completely with Bill's opinion" and that I've never received as many compliments on a build as I have on my Speedmasters, (which is my perrogative).
In the end, I'll bet we would all get along fine with Bill Bryant and sit down and have a few beers and listen to some rock & roll. I'll bet Bill Bryant never thought he was kickin' the proverbial bee's nest when he penned an otherwise eloquent article about a real cool bike.
