I ended up leaving my sportbike friends. We were riding at quite high speeds down back roads and I was really growing uncomfortable with it. I now really only ride with my wife and moved from the B to a full wing and love it! We did one group ride and the guy to my right front was so sketchy and constantly changing speed, so we won't be doing another. My wife was going nuts. Can't say it was fun for me either. We love doing weekend rides up in the NC mountains. Can't wait for cooler weather!

Thanks for the input! Great! I did make the dive and will be picking up my new F6B in the morning. I started on a Honda at the ripe old age of 6, I'm now 59. Let's call it " back to my roots". I have always loved Honda but have been on HD for better than 13 years. I have always been the one that thought everyone's bike was cool. If it's a motorcycle, I'm good with it. I don't care who rides what but that's not the way a lot of people seem to see it. I am like a kid on Christmas Eve, can't wait for tomorrow when I pick her up. It really feels great to be back in the Honda family! Thanks again!

Ya, I did. It was fun acting like a pirate for 20 years. But the comfort of this bike was well worth it.
Got a friend rides harley with me brags on the batbike and don't care what anyone rides,even Pisces off the harley boys cause he appreciates all motorcycles..They for the most part only bike to them is harley.That clip Will till showed cracks me up,damn if they had helmets on though.
Sold my Electra-glide Classic Ultra Limited this April for the F6B and have never been happier. I think the only thing I miss are the floorboards / forward controls / foot position. Feet never hit the pavement while taking turns on the HD. Cant say the same for the F6B. (getting used to tucking them in when entering round-abouts) I definitely don't miss that feeling as if sitting on a gas grill during the summer months (and hoping not to get stuck in traffic on a hot summer day). Now I can enjoy the ride without the feeling of cooking from the nether region, on up. As for my Harley friends, friends are friends, and the respect level hasn't changed. I cant say the same for others. Seems that the ignorance runs rampant when I say I went from HD to Honda. Its strange the mad respect you get from strangers when you say that you own a HD. Without even know what kind or condition, they say WOW. I can only attribute that to the beauty of most Harleys and their fantastic marketing. that said, bye bye HD, Love Love Love my F6B.
