Yep, I still have my '02 BA, also.

However over the years, I've "de-cruiserized" it, and so now it looks much more like a classic British roadster than it does an American cruiser.

And like Dave up there, I too have been putting many more miles on a later acquisition, my 2016 Indian Springfield which I purchased slightly used about two and a half years ago now. It's just so much more comfy than the BA is, and actually handles pretty damn well for an 800+ pound machine.

But I still hop on the BA occasionally, and whenever I do, I'm always reminded of why I've always loved this bike so much.

(...and I also still own that 1970 Triumph custom Street Tracker, if anyone remembers that one...it also is much too fun a ride to ever part with, me thinks)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
