Top notch people to deal with. Friendly, sincere, knowledgeable, fun to be around guys and gals. I bought an American and it was the most bang for the buck, similar to Harley Sporty in size. I’m a huge guy. I looked like a circus bear that they show riding a tricycle. It wasn’t long I was on a 2013 ABS Thunderbird in blue/marble haze for much less than Fatboy, RoadKing or ElectaGlides I have had in the past. In order to trade up they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Not only was the ride awesome, it didn’t have the Harley “clunk” when you put it in gear. I don’t have to dump thousands to personalize it like a “cookie cutter styling” you get from Harley. The MPG is 1/3 better for 1/3 less price tag. If I forgot and hit the front break to hard, the forgiving ABS applies the rear brake for me.(an extra $1k for brand X) If I forget and leave the kick stand down. No big deal, It won’t let me start it. If I were to kick the bucket tomorrow, it would take the undertaker two weeks to get the smile off my face. I rode just about every bike that was ever made since 1964 and the new T-Bird must have been made by a Swiss watch maker. It is just that tight! No spokes to worry about keeping tight either. It has what looks like $2k in after market wheels and chrome standard.. And the good folks at Baxter Cycle added some creature comforts to accommodate my handicapped left foot and right elbow problems. Their concern to help me get back into a sport I truly believe has given me a natural incentive to stay active and rehab my fused back full of screws and rods. I still feel I owe them a debt of gratitude that I will never be able to describe in words. They modified the bars with risers, the shift lever positioning, and back rest positioning in a very light weight but powerful machine that just looks fast sitting still. If you want to toss the pain pills, put on your back brace, toss the cane and head to exit 51 off I-80 and couple miles south to Marne, Iowa and see my newly adopted family for some real therapy.
