Ok, not to cause alarm, but I spent Sunday morning waxing my new baby, a black F6B. Not many riding days yet but Sunday evening I took it out. Cruising up to the highway to make a loop around town I noticed an Aurora Police 4X4 behind me. Checked my speed -good wondered if a light was out and all that. Then at a red light he pulls up on my right,not quite level and just sits there,I finally said heck with this and looked over at him. He was Just smiling at me and said, "that is a Beautiful Motorcycle". I gave him a thumbs up,shouted "thank you,I love it" making sure I heard him right through my helmet and the stereo. Then " have a safe ride" and he took off.
I felt doubly good about this one. I have gotten compliments from folks on the bike ,but this was the first from the police. I think we have a new fan !

Cops on your tail always make you nervous, but that one had great taste.....obviously 'all/right'

I know that feeling when I first got my F6B I was taking a ride west on HWY50 here in Northern Nevada when a Motor officer buzzed by heading east bound and when he saw me his head spun around like a owl.I looked in my left mirror and saw him pull a quick 180 and hit the lights.I thought geez what have I done as I looked down and saw I was doing 60mph which is the posted limit.I turned off left to a side road to see if he was really after me and sure enough he came left after me and I pulled over.He came up beside me and asked how I liked my new ride-Well I laughed and said it was great so far as I am still getting used to her.He wanted to know about it as they were going to possibly get a F6B police bike and he may get it as there senior Motor Officer.So I got off it and said take her for a spin as I figured he must know how to ride-LOL.He came back with a big grin and after a short talk he gave me his business card for one get out of jail free.Scary at first but turned out to be a nice encounter.

Last year, Fourth of July, I hadn't even had SG for a week. We went through a DUI road block on the way home. I pulled over and there were five officers swarming the bike while I tried to get my license out of the bag. They had flashlights out wanting to know everything.

"Is this a BMW?"
"No you idiot it's a Honda."

"Will this thing really do 150?"

Me: "I have no idea, sir, as I've never had her over the speed limit."

And then there was my encounter at the Varsity with Van, the Athens moto, who loves the F6B and practically spit on his department-issued HD.....Did I mention that he's also a Marine? Sigh.....I think I need to go do some burnouts in front of the police department and see if I can lure him out.

I was getting gas a couple weeks ago and across the parking lot an officer was on a traffic stop..As Im filling up I see his cover officer walking across the parking lot towards me and Im thinking OK, Whats did I do wrong, must be my non DOT helmet...As he approaches me I noticed hes got a smile on his face and is looking at my Matte silver deluxe...He says to me "l saw you pull in and I had to come check it out"and complimented how futuristic it is and he loved how the bags are all intigrated into the bike...I get these kinda comments all the time even from harley riders...Had one tell me he wish he wouldve seen the F6B before he bought his Harley...lol
