[QUOTE=Old Ryder;92188] While they are different, it is possible to like Harley and Honda and they can peacefully share a garage.

+1 I can love the smooth powerful engine in the F6B and still appreciate the raucous thrashing of the Harley. Each scratches a different itch.

If you look real close at this picture, you can see the Valkyrie Interstate in the garage. While they are different, it is possible to like Harley and Honda and they can peacefully share a garage. For a little while at least. Attachment 15827


BTW---Since I got the B, one of the bikes left on my VERY SHORT BUCKET LIST is and EVO Heritage Springer. again, it would be a novelty and not a primary.

Some times ya just need to ride something different, I have a 2013 Harley Dyna Low Rider, 103, Light, Fast ( for a twin ) and looks good, Pipes and you set to go, but when I want to do 300-400 miles a day I'm on F6B, with Ultimate seat, , when I need a RUSH, beyond the Honda I'm on my Z1000
Kaw, still cant do first 3 gears to Red Line, just freaks me out, 105mph in third !!!!! have to shift and it still wants to rip my hands off handle bars.......
One for Speed, one for Bar hoping, and F6B is my favorite, riding thru the mountains of NE Ga. AUH !!!!!!!!! The Thrill

I had an old hardtail panhead years ago, and threaten to sell my Yamaha 920 Virago and Panhead, then buy a Heritage softail in the late 80s, but just couldn't do it knowing that engine was solid mounted to the frame (bad for comfort and durability). Now days I think most of them are soft mounted, but the other manufactures have really nice large options to choose from, and mainly due to the extra heavy weight, and awful clutch pack design on the left of the transmission, I still at least a couple issues away from choosing a Harley brand bike. My last choice was the Yamaha Stratoliner 1900.

I have been riding HD for 20 years, and yes, I like them but when discovered the f6b...my heart changed.

its impossible for me to dislike my Harley....

Sure. They are just a different animal.
I'm blessed to also own a 09 Street Glide. It's loaded and is about a 105 with motor work. Fun to ride and just did a 2k mile, 2 up trip in 100 + degree weather and it never missed a beat.
Thank you brother.

I uncovered the big dog, wiped her down, threw a leg and went to the Keys.....gone 5 days, not one hiccup!!! The cruise was great! The ride is better than my F6, different seating arrangement can't say better but different...I did have one mechanical failure. The cigarette lighter after 12 years gave up the ghost from a downpour rainstorm...replaced it already!!! The paint, well it still looks new after all these years !!!!! I posted some pic's so I would not get yelled at....John.

My Harley riding buddy who purchased a 2015 Ultra something or other who razzes me all the time about having a more valuable superior machine (His words not mine) to my F6B. In the name of friendship I just smile...He went into his garage to get on his Harley to go to work today only to find a 14" diameter puddle of oil under it on the primary side.. We are talking this issue before the first service.... The dealer is coming to get it tomorrow to see whats wrong with it.. I'm sure they will fix it....

Hum lets see 2013 F6BD $18,400 out the door 19,000 miles only scheduled maintenance.Good for 250,000 miles or more, so quick it never fails to make you smile. 2015 HD Ultra Some thing or other $34,000 out the door. This I know cause I was there when he signed the papers, less than 5000 miles pissing oil on the floor..Can't keep up with me if I don't allow him to.. You decide......................Dickie
