It's been some time since I had a motorcycle (about 10 years ago, a Yamaha Virago), but I'm back in the market. I've wanted one for the last few years, and looking at a few this weekend with a friend that is in the market made me realize how much I've been wanting one, and how I could pretty much pay for one with the just the cost of the fuel I would save should I take it up as a daily commuter.
Anyways, we hit all the Japanese shops and even checked HD, but there weren't any Triumph shops around. I'll make the effort next weekend to check one out, but I thought I'd do some research on-line before hand. I'm somewhat intrigued by the America, and would like to hear some stories about why people decided on Triumph over other brands. Like I said, I'm thinking of a daily commuter, but I'd like to do some long rides as well (in particular from Northern California to Texas with stops in Nevada and Arizona). Is that doable on an America? If not what would you guys recommend?
Thanks.
