    Hard to hold 6 lungs back when the predecessor only had 2 lungs and was black.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    40 year old, air cooled tractor engineering design does leave a lot to be desired...

    As to the color...that is yet to be determined since at night you can't see my flat six, black steel steed as it slides rapidly... oh so silently from behind only letting you get a quick look of its fast dimming tail light quickly moving into the far distance ahead. Is the black faster you wonder as it vanishes from view?

    Now you know why the world's fastest air-breathing aircraft - the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is black like my F6B.

    Where Are You At

    Did you ever go for a ride and not be paying much attention to the speedometer and all of a sudden you look and the land is going by you at a very high rate. Where are you at, 95 mph on your F6B of course.

    Yea, every time I notice the telephone poles start looking like a picket fence and the only clear thing is a small circle in front of me I know it is time to slow down.

    First ride. From the dealership. After teaching the MSF classroom. 8:30 PM, Aug 21, getting dark/dusky.
    Suspension was set on "max-comfy-sofa."
    I get on the 95 North heading home. I've got 20 miles to the exit.
    I clear out of traffic, get into the #1 lane and get my groove on - not the fastest vehicle I can see, but #2, or 3.
    It's now dark, no one is around me, no highway lighting, high beams are on.
    I glance down at the dash, wondering how to dim it, when I see the speedo....not exactly "MSF Safety Guy of the Month" material.
    It was past 100.
    I throttled down, forcing myself to do 65. It seemed like I was doing 25.
    Amazing machine.
    Alien technology.

    Isleen - 2014 F6BD
    Saorla - 1995 FLSTN Heritage Special

    My fj 1200 is much faster. My fj1100 was faster too. But........ My f6b is much easier to ride fast. So yes my "average "speed is faster. Especially when cruising on the freeway. 😯
