'decided to go it alone on the F6B' and 'missing the wife and kids' in the same story. Beautiful. What a great adventure. Great pics, good times had on a bike. Thanks.

WOW! What a trip. Much better than mine last week. Mine consisted of 1800 miles of a hanging transmission (since fixed), my buddy crashing on a turn (sand) and having his bike tip over at a scenic overlook on another occasion because of that "freaky mountain gravity thing" that makes you think you are on level ground when you are not. On the way there, we caught a severe thunderstorm just as we topped Black Mountain at 10 PM on Thursday night. I was blocked by a Subaru going 10 MPH on I-40 with flashers on blocking the left lane. It was raining so hard I could not see behind me to know if it was safe to change lanes. Talk about a bad "Sitting Duck" feeling sitting in the left lane of an Interstate at 10 MPH in the dark.

After looking at your pictures, I should have went with you!

BTW--nice bag!

Thanks all! It kinda feels like I didn't say enough about the B, but there were no issues and she performed like a champ. Such an amazing bike!
I've got a friend with a Harley who talked about high altitude performance differences when going through the Rockies, will have to break the news to him that I couldn't feel any difference on the B.
My stock rear tire is all but gone at 7500, but I could see it coming.
I tried to keep it within 5 of the limit, didn't get any tickets, but there was this one stretch in OK.... I can safely report that the B stays stable at high speed.

OldTymer, that Woot bag is staying on the bike til I can get a proper backrest! Wait... Maybe that IS my proper backrest?
