Hi,
I added more stuff to my bio for those who want to had additional information
Basically, I am looking for a bike that will be fun to drive in Northern California, San Francisco Bay area. I absolutely love retro stuff; therefore, Triumphs are on top of my list.
As Dill stated, I have heard bad stuff about riding bikes like Honda Rebel in hilly areas and that is where I live
I checked out Speedmasters, Americans and plain Bonnevilles and so far I like Bonnies the best simply because they fit what I want to do: No long rides, good size for my height and weight and reasonable specs. I am not looking into a machine that can be the fastest bike on the road; it is more for pleasure and sight seeing (I do a lot of photography). This is probably a wrong forum; however, I considered Scrambler as well.
In CA, as in many states, you can bypass the skill test at DVM by taking a riders course and that is exactly what I am going to do. After taking the course, I wanted to get a bike and since financing is available, then I would *not* mind getting a new bike provided that it does not expensive panels that can be scratched. If there is a dent, well then there is a dent
