    Leaving F6B for a BMW

    Leaving the F6 group and going back to my BMW. The F6B just isn't the right fit for me at this point. Don't get me wrong it is a great bike, rides and handles well.... and of course has plenty of grunt, just not right for me. I'll have my hip sorted out next week and the F6 decision was really based on my ability to ride without hip pain, and for that it worked well.
    I want to thanks everyone for their advice as I fumbled my way around the new bike, a special thanks to Mile's whom always had an answer and sound reasoning for any recommendations. Maybe we'll run into each other out on the road... (I'll buy the coffee).
    I hope Honda gets the paint fixed for those with an issue, and I wish everyone many happy and safe miles.

    Because I like to be in the know with bikes, I'll likely stop by from time to time and see what you fellas are doing to trick out your machines.... Enjoy the ride.......... T

    Which model BMW? Filbert told me he went to the F6B from a K1600GT, which has gotten rave reviews, but just wasn't right for him. So many bikes, so little time!

    Teach, send me a PM, and we can arrange to get together and take a ride. But...please bring something other than the Beemer, as I do have a reputation to uphold.

    I will miss your posts on the threads.

    YW, I bought my RT back. I've ridden the K bikes and while they are nice, not a lot of difference between them and a wing. Actually the K bike doesn't do as well for passengers but it is a little more modern than the GW in some area's. If I was to pick between a K bike and GW the GW wins hands down due t the lack of required maintenance.

    Miles, should be in your area next summer. I'll give you a shout before I head west and we'll see about hooking up for that coffee. I will be on the beemer but I'll try real hard not to let anyone know I'm with you
