The Moment She Fell in Love

[ReserveBum]

The 6 is the first new bike in 30+ years. 60th Birthday present for myself. Wife wanted the full wing, wanted that couch rocket. I researched for months and pulled the trigger on the 6 in March. Been a battle since.....she hated it. I got seat extender, big Corbin backrest, rolled shock to the softest, rode trying to avoid every divot in the road and make the smoothest shifts.....nothing was working. She even said a harley would have been better. That one hurt as I never had or really wanted a harley. The few times she rode were painful, no tunes, trying to be perfect, until tonight. She actually suggested the ride. I said eff it and hooked the Iphone into the bag and set up the tunes and took off on an extraordinary upstate NY night. The weather was perfect, the roads were smooth as silk (Thanks NYS DOT!) and then Melissa Etheridge was singing "Baby You can sleep while I drive". I just cranked it and reached back and grabbed her hand.....thats the moment she fell in love with the big black 6.

I love it when I'm right!

SWEET!!!! :yes:

Crank that preload up a bit higher though!! 0 w/2 up won't give you the smoothest ride.

Bike is rated to carry 410, 420#'s, er something like that. If ya carry max load, you should be 'close' to max preload,,,

[bobbyf6b]

Ditto. Crank the preload up at least half way. Then you won't bottom out.

I'm 250,since I cranked mine up 3/4's she performs and rides like a dream. Left all those Harley boys behind on the Dragon and I didn't try to go fast,just smooth calculated turns and next thing you know they faded from my rear view mirrows....:039:......I love this F6B.......Dickie
