Mountains and F6B

[willtill]

Scrapes more readily than other bikes I have had. It's probably the only thing that I don't like about it.

I could lean over my Rocket 3, Victory, Vision, DR650, etc at much more extreme angles while negotiating a sharp curve... without dragging parts. Not so much with my F6B.

I did this to keep the wear down on my pegs Read this thread:

I thought I leaned pretty good and still haven't scraped a peg yet. I touched a boot once

Wait, those are foot pegs and not lean angle indicators?

If you swap between a Harley and the F6B you will find that the Honda
seems more adept at the turns.
It will make most anyone a wannabee cafe racer~!
The HD -is a constant heavy counter steer.
Under hard turns, one has to pick the line .
The Honda just leans over and goes.
No complaints.
However the F6 has rear steer wiggle and my Road King has none (cause I have worked it over)
But I am truly surprised that the F6 will respond to tar snakes, grooves in road and the like.
Something I am not used to.

This past summer a good friend of mine and I were on the third day of a little road trip trough back roads and twistier sections of roads I could find. He rides a 16 Ultra. We had just spent the night in Georgia and was taking War Woman Road to 28 and heading north. Anyone who knows, this is a pretty entertaining road. We are linked up through Sena headsets and he was commenting how tiring and cumbersome his bike was in this section of our trip. The F6B with it's low center of gravity just eats this stuff up.

As for me and my VERY old EVO Road King which is 180 deg from the F6.
Now for "Something completely different" said Monty Pythion-
One is in touch and keeps your hair on fire if the envelope gets thin.
I think the danger for me, the F6 and I may be in deeper then i should be and not even know it!
I look at the speedo and say OH CRAP!
But- it just wheels through it much like watching a video.
No complaints.
The bike is much like riding with a huge shot of Novocain in me.
I do not feel anything.
But i do like it.

When I am with a group of like minded individuals , all I can say is nothing , nothing is more exciting than 2-4 bikes carving up some twisty roads in sync. I guarantee I am feeling a lot.
