I'm happy to report that I love my '08 Classic final edition. I got it in December and just couldn't be happier with the choice to go RE. I looked high and low and labored long over the decision before adding this second bike. I picked it because of the uniqueness, the legacy of the company and the simplicity of the machine. I never thought that it would be so difficult to get through my hometown of 6,000 without somebody stopping to ask about or comment on the bike. I mean people you wouldn't imagine having an interest in bikes.
Anyway, I've already benefitted from many comments on this forum so "Thanks" to everyone. A big thanks to Pat and everyone at LA Motorsports, my RE dealer, in Summersville, SC
