Yeah, and I wonder how many of these guys are driving foreign cars. I never understood that b/s, even when I was riding HDs.

I've read that HD has been pulling the wool over the HD community for years, claiming the "American Built" b/s, there was a news story about HD riders buying GENUINE HD parts in packaging marked HD Milwaukee, made in the USA, then they open the package and the part states, "made in china", on the back, HD response was they "mistakenly" packaged it wrong.

I've never quite understood why so many people feel the need to look down on other guys for their choice of motorcycle. It's exhausting from the HD Pirates, the grumpy old fart Wingers, the Beemer flock, etc. Why can't people just enjoy the ride and not worry about the other guy, I mean really you're going to spit on someone for not riding your choice of motorcycle?

I love my F6B, a good buddy of mine enjoys the hell out of his Stratoliner, his dad rides the crap out of a Victory Vision, and amazingly when we ride together the world does not implode on itself.

I just tell people I only had 1/2 of a down payment so I only got 1/2 a Gold Wing.

Actually I get it all the time when riding my M109R. It's low, wide, loud and fast. At first it took sometime getting use to people always asking about it, but I enjoy it now. As far as what bike people ride, I don't care what you ride, just ride and enjoy it.

My riding buddies, All Harley riders are used to being the center of attention. Now that I'm riding the F6B it no longer happens for them. Its always people giving me the third degree asking how many cylinders, cu inches, cc, who makes etc. Telling me how cool it is etc. etc. Lol...Dickie

Same experience with the Honda Rune

A friend I ride with every few months (rides an older Victory V-92) will sometimes bring along his Street Glide riding buddy. The buddies bike is totally tricked out with an extreme bucks motor, paint job, custom wheels, many many top end speakers, you name it. The bike is stunning, even among other stunning Harleys. On a recent ride we made two stops, one for gas and one for water and snacks. At both stops my F6B got a ton of attention and unending raves. Mr. Street Glide was getting visibility upset. It got to where I actually felt sorry for him. He's a good guy. The final straw was when one guy finished salivating over my bike, looked over at the SG and asked, "Is that a Harley?". More fun all the time.

Its true,,, The HD bagger bunch is everywhere, and they all pretty much follow the same theme,,,

Show me something different,,,

Ditto. I took this pic at AZ Bikeweek back in April. Can you see my bike? It's the one with the batwing fairing.
