Went for my first ride today on a 13 F6B. It is a magnificent machine !! It handles well, has a comfortable seat and it soaks up bumps like a sponge

Congrats,
If you are like me, you will grow love it more and more.
Have fun with all the cool add ons.
Congrats and welcome aboard!
I had my first ride 2 weeks ago and loved it so much that I did not even want to ride the two other bikes I had planned to test ride. Then I was on call the entire next week and could not get FJR and Shadow to dealership to see about trade for the F6B. Saturday I under my wife's request test rode the Yamaha Stratoliner Deluxe - was listed at $13.2k and she is always looking for a deal. My initial impression was good for the Yamaha, but then rode F6B again and there was no comparison in my mind. I said lets do this deal on F6B. I am picking my new F6B up Saturday with my installed additional accessories.
Congrats. I'm originally from Indy. My parents and my son actually live there. You said you were on call, what do you do?Quote:

I'm a service technician for commercial/industrial HVAC-R. I just spent the last week on call. For me, it's every third week on call. I'm reimbursed an hour of pay for each day I'm on call for the inconvenience . That inconvenience means I can't be very far from my service truck though.Quote:

I grew up in Brownsburg and now live North Side of Indy. These temps are keeping you busy I am sure. Thanks for saying Hey and pleasant rides. If the Wife and I make a trip South of the river I give you a shout.Quote:

Congrats... it just gets better from here. Get used to the feeling of bike envy from other riders :icon_mrgreen:
Wait til you get accustomed to it and start pushing it's limits a bit; you WILL be using all three sides of your tires.
Loving every minute, I never thought a bike could feel as good as my FJR. The bonus is now I can have my wife with me.
