Default Any experiences?

Gentlemen,
I recently moved to the US from France, leaving behind my 1989 FXSTC (S+S 95). Now, of course, I am far from happy not to have a bike. Even during the new England winter. I don't know if you guys know the feeling, it's weird not to have one, even if a ride would be kinda impossible right now. Feels just...Wrong might be the right word for it.
I found some pretty good deals (well, compared to the prices in France and Germany, almost any bike here is the hell of a deal) at CLASSIC IRON, in Dumfries, VA. Did anyone made any experience with this dealer (good or bad) so far?
Thanks in advance
Jean-Luc

No Not Me,, Never Went To That Dealer,, But Shop Around Get What You Really Like Want
Don't Settle For Just Anything.

I Know Nothing About Winter I Live In Miami South Florida, But I Know A Lot About The Beaches

I Just Looked At Classic Iron ,, They Have Very Good Prices Very Good , Get A Warranty With Your Bike Ok
http://www.bikerbill.com >>>> Also Know As Classic Iron

Welcome To America,, After You See How Our Government Works You Might Want
To Go Back To France
Enjoy Your Stay

As far as I know, Classic Iron sells the older/higher milage Harleys/metrics that were traded in at local dealerships. My buddy traded at Honda at a local dealer, and within a few days, it was up on that website. I've never dealt with them, but the bikes on the site appear to be higher mileage/not cosmetically perfect.
