I have to say, I absolutely love forums like these...thanks for the very nice messages.
gldean, After some consideration, I think I am just going to hold on to the America for a while and see what happens. My biggest challenge is that very nice '03 Americas are going for a lot less than I would expect. I firmly believe that it is Pristine and definately one-of-a-kind...all of which means it is most likely worth more to me than just about anyone else.
I may decide to revist the decision later, but for now I am going to just enjoy. Good news came today from the dealer...they were now expecting the bike in today and would have it prepped by tomorrow afternoon.
To gldean's comment....I expect that I'll be grinning quite a bit this weekend.
Cheers all,
Steven
