    Red face !st Ride

    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

    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?

    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.
