Wow, what great read!!! went from really good , and thoughtful options to ....... I don't know what! In any event, I spent a couple of weeks doing my research on what I wanted to purchase. Had an Electra glide that was starting to be unreliable so started my search. First question I asked myself, what kind of riding do I normally do and what kind of riding do I like to do? I wanted a reliable touring bike, with a good dealer network, that I could go long distances on in all kinds of weather, highway conditions, and be comfortable. My wife does not ride with me much, she is into horses, so screw her input. So, how much do I want to spend? Who has the best financing available and what is the best trade in deal I could negotiate. After much reading, test riding the options, it was time to s**t or get off the pot. Hell, I am 64 years old, time to make a decision here or life is going to make it for me!!!!! Bang, pulled the trigger on the F6B back in April and have never looked back. That is my story and I hope it helps anybody out there struggling to decide to make or not make a purchase of the F6B.
