Comments:

As far as my Excelsior Henderson eXperience, prior to the release of the initial production bikes I had been watching everything that appeared in the press and was not impressed with the pictures that saw.  I was at the Laughlin River Run in 1999 and got to see and ride a demo bike and was very impressed with the look of the bike, the fit and finish,  as well as the performance (compared to the V twin competition). 
 
I rode demo bikes at Laughlin and Sturgis the two years that they were available and had planned on purchasing one at some point and thought that I may never get the chance when they closed their doors in 2000.  After looking around for sometime I found this one an hour away with 700 miles on it. 
 
The Excelsior Henderson community has really impressed me.  Everyone that I have met in person or talked to over the phone from Bobby Baldwin to Jamie and Marty Jones have been a fountain of information and great to deal with.  I'm proud to be associated with such a fine group of people.
