Those are really nice bikes. If the America wasn't originally intended to be the OL's bike, I was seriously thinking about an orange one in the dealers showroom.

Donny, I kind of hate to admit it here  , but I've put more miles on my Thunderbird Sport than my Speedmaster this year by about 2 to 1. That triple just does something to me that no other bike has done. Enjoy the TBS! Mike Sr.

Finally got the bike and Wow does it run! Made the 4 hour trip from Arkansas back to Tulsa,the cafe style seat sure does suck bad should have put on the stock seat before I headed back.
The different riding postion was hard to get used to,been riding my Softail Deluxe so much that it took a few hours to get used too,over all the bike is in mint condition for being a 98 model,this thing will fly, it dont take long to get to 110!
Whoever had the bike before took real good care of it,was real hard trying to find a bike this old with such low miles,im very pleased hope to get some riding time in this weekend that is after my ****** gets better Haha......

I saw another T-Bird sport at a bike nite this evening. If ever I get another bike that is the one. 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

The stock seat is probably worse! After an hour I'm squirming. I suppose we should both just ante up and get a couple of Corbins. Enjoy! Mike Sr.

Yup, the stock seat is brutal - It pitches my pelvis forward which causes some discomfort in the back and the front. But I love the bike! If I ever find a solo seat cheap enough I will try it out.
