Matt,

Glad to hear you are sticking around. This is a great site and it wouldn't be the same if some of the regulars decided to move on.

I really wish I could have kept my America. This summer I saw it several times. Even rode with the new owner and complained to him about how dirty it was. I had to suppress the urge to start shining it up at the coffee shop. Having said that, I really love my Rocket and have enjoyed learning all the quirks of the new bike.

You know, it doesn't matter what bike you purchase, they all have their own issues. We complain about the problems the early Speedys and BAs had but I think the little quirks just add character.

Don't wait too long before you purchase another one.
