Hey guy's just wanted to introduce myself.

Took delivery yesterday of a new 07 America and haven't stopped smiling yet.
It's been 15 years since I last had a bike and in those days it was all off-road MX / Enduro bikes. So this is my first official "road" bike.

She's pretty much stock except for some aftermarket pipes that are manufactured locally in SA. You pretty much tell them the sound you looking for and they make them accordingly. Sounds awesome !!!!
Went for a quick ride last night to get a feel for the bike and giggled like a school girl the whole time. Can't wait for the weekend to get in a nice long ride.

Cool

I'm already wishing I could add a scrambler to the lineup, but joining the queue will be a divorce lawyer too

Was a tough choice but ended up going for the America and I'm happy as hell.
I'll try and post a picture soon, need to give her a shine first

Has there been a poll on the site on the amount of time you guy's spend cleaning your bikes. Been looking through the gallery and man there are some shiny looking machines out there.

PS, Erwin, love that Avatar

Swapped my Bonnie for an America as the bride wants to tag along-both are OUTSTANDING machines. Have fun-I do!

Amen to that! A scrambler, T1oo, Straight Bonny, any or all 3 of these would do fine.

Wohoo, first weekend with my new bike and luvin it. Weather has been pretty crappy though and the wind was howling today, but didn't stop me from riding.

Here are a few pics of my ride.
