Great story Dave - thanks for sharing.
Each of us has a story like this - with the trials and tribulations of life and "significant others" either discouraging or encouraging our hobby.

His is particularly "tribulating" with that slow-azz red bike.
My previous bike, the Valkyrie, was black. I bought a red F6B because, this time, I wanted the fastest bike.Originally Posted by shooter
If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
Really enjoyed reading about your long and winding road to riding satisfaction with the B, Dave. As 53driver says, we all have our own stories about how we came to be where we are today -- enjoying the ride on a great bike. Took me waaay to long to get riding; strong family opposition in the early days and then later young kids and no support from wife (the usual story). Ten years ago, when I figured i was too old to get into it, some cops i worked with who were riders gave me the push I needed. Mid-fifties now and have not looked back. Have had so many great riding experiences in the past decade and looking forward to many more down the road. Hope a F6B rally is one of them!
I thought that all of the scratches in the red paint provided too much wind resistance to go real fast?
and it's not how fast you mow, it's how well you mow fast...
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.
Remember not how a man died, but rather how he lived.
