My name is Jon and this is my first post. I recently bought a '02 Bonneville America. I have admired Bonnevilles since my dad first owned a '69 way back when...

I have owned two Bonnies previously - a '79 and a '02 "new" Bonneville. But I'm more of a "cruiser" guy (have owed many over the years) and that is why I like the America so much - best of both worlds, imo.

I live in Arkansas currently - just moved back here from California. Tho Cali was my boyhood home, I've spent most of my life in AR. The reason I chose Ar over Ca is not because I dont like Ca. No, Cali's a great place... to visit. Too many people and too expensive for me. Besides, I think Ark has some of the best riding in the country.

Anywhay, I have already bennefitted from the forums a lot. I think I'm gunna like it here.
