New guy here

[Deerkiller]

Like it says, new guy here. Good ole country boy from rural Michigan. Not new to bikes or forums but got myself an F6B (smoking deal too:icon_biggrin: ) earlier this year. Wife and I enjoy trips to different places and my Roadstar was just too lacking in the long trip department (in many different ways). I'm friends with a member here (Blueverclear) and rode his last year from Deals Gap down 28 to 74 and that sold me right there. Love the power, smooth ride, protection from the elements, etc.

Still have a couple other bikes in the garage. R1 (track only bike), and another Roadstar (very customized blast around locally type of deal).

Just got back from a trip to the Smokey Mountains. This is a great highway bike. Faster, smoother, and farther range than my last bike. Seat sucks, even after I've had it modified. It's much better now but I can see some more changes in that department in the future. I checked out 53driver's suspension set up and I can already see going that direction when funds come available. None of my bikes end up keeping stock suspension for some reason. Front end feels a little loose on higher speed corners and it needs more ground clearance for sure.

I read up the "New F6B owners" thread. Lots of great info there for sure. I see winter mods coming for sure.

Welcome! Sounds like you're already quite familiar with what makes the F6B a great bike and what needs to be done to make it perfect for the individual.

Cool-looking canine too!

Thanks! Yeah, drove to Bowling Green, KY to get the bike this past February. Rare nice day up here in the great white north so I took advantage of it. That's our German Shepherd. Bear. I take him anywhere I can:icon_biggrin:

Welcome aboard! This is certainly my favorite bike of all time. I'm thinking hard on that suspension also.

Wife asked about making it louder already. Heard a F6B last year that sounded awesome at our Smokey Mountain meetup. I believe she is a member here as well.

In my experience, suspension upgrades are the absolute best bang for the buck to make a bike faster everywhere though. If only money grew on these trees around here instead of acorns, apples, and walnuts, ha ha.

Welcome newbie!

Definitely no sidecar for you buddy you would definitely flip that thing over for sure Haha Haha. Dam I miss my R1...... Well only for about 10 minutes then I jump on the f6b and ride 650 miles with this mad man on a BMW who rides like a bat out of he'll and meet up with a crazy ass mofo on a grey f6b who I have a lot in common with is a he'll of a rider and is a very good friend, a country boy gentle giant looking good on his Harley, and of course a bad ass boy who happens to be a nola boy and a Bryson transplant! Great times brother lmao great times!!!
