It was fun at first but....
I have had several bikes in my day and never had one that would stop people in their tracks. When I picked up the F6B the dealer warned me that I could generate a lot of interest and comments from total strangers. I chuckled as I put the visor down on my helmet and rode off.
3 Months later.....
I love my bike and love to ride it. I can see this bike and I together for a very long time. I have had the following:
People wanting to talk while I am at a stoplight.
People stopping me as I pull off in a parking lot.
Tons of gas station conversations.
Lot's of discussions on runs and rides.
Can I sit on it?......No!
I kinda wish I would have bought a Harley and no one would give a sh^t.
Loud pipes and Ape Hangers
People in my neck of the woods only seem to respond to LOUD bikes with Ape Hangers. Does anyone make a set of Ape Hangers to fit the F6B ???:nono:
F6B Intervention- it don't get old
Yes brother. I saw The F6B and was saved, as in saved from Harley cultism. I had an Electra Glide Classic. I liked it much. I commenced buying it all kind of pretty things to put on it. By now I was deep in the Harley Kool-aid. I started riding with other cult members and our ending destinations was always the local Harley Dealer shrine. We'd always ride to the shrine and pay homage, and buy stuff. The last ride was about our ride to the shrine. The next trip was to go to another shrine and buy another $60 tee-shirt that proved we had been there to worship. Soon it was the boots, then the chaps, then the gloves, do -rags, hats, tin signs, the pins, more shirts, shot glasses, underwear, anything Harley. Nothing but Harley oil, Harley cleaning stuff, and Harley magazines. Then one day while at the shrine, I was about to pop on a $500 coat when my wife just up and slapped me. I saw stars. Then I saw a bunch of overpriced merchandise and they same bikes I been seeing for 50 years but with different tank badges. As I was recovering I started looking at other bikes, and riding them and then I went full circle from my early Honda 175 Scrambler, XL350, 450 twin, and CB750 back to this F6B Honda. I like it much but I don't worship it. I don't have anything that says Honda, but I might get something. Things change, times change, Harleys don't. We've all changed. You don't meet the nicest people on a Honda no more. Bout damn time them othe a-holes know that. It don't get old. later....
What was this thread about anyways?
