As I was traveling I-40 last Saturday, I passed a group of bikes with an F6B pulling a trailer. Was contacted via private message from yellow rex asking if it was me heading the opposite direction. He described my bike and told me he was in the group on his F6 pulling a trailer that I saw. Was this the first sighting of two forum members who have never met, on the same road, different directions? I believe it is!

Cool. I still have yet to see one "in the wild."

I went to louisville 2 weeks and ago and I saw black one every where. I feel unique no more.

I took the kids to the zoo and they had a Matte Silver beast in a cage next to the cheetahs and gazelle exhibit. It did not look comfortable. Just wanted to escape and run free and fast.

Probably have to paint it black first.

I was curious how they caught it. Had to have been a military mission, that's the only way you could catch one.

I did see a few blacks and reds and one yeller. They were next to the hippos and elephants. I thought they were a hair faster.

I saw about fifteen or so parked outside every tavern in town. Oh wait, those were the other kind.

Hiflyer, I may have seen you on the way to pick up my bike two weekends ago, it was Saturday14542. Red F6B headed south on I-35 about 2 in the afternoon. I was in my wife's red mustang convertible.

Probably did, I use 35 to get around, just live a couple of miles off of it.

Hey Stroguy,

I work up here at 1960 and 45 and live on the south side so I travel the road everyday. I saw another Matte Silver about 2 weeks ago heading south on 45 at Monroe as I was in the hov lane heading home. He had a woman on the back of his and the Ergo pegs up front. Looked like he may have been heading to Galveston. That's the only other f6b I've seen here thus far.

Very cool. Was not me as I rarely travel south of the beltway. Too many scary drivers. I go around to get south. Hope to hook up with you one day.

I was the red one at the end of the aisle in the big lot near the vendors. The one I saw was a sharp black withsolo seat and integrated trunk (?) anyway- nice. I just shot up from Cooperstown for a few hours- more for the ride than the event.

Awesome!!!

But what ever you do, don't cross streams! (Ghostbusters w/ liberties)

Still have yet to see one around the San Antonio area...

I saw a black one last Friday night in Waynesboro, Va and a red one on I-81 Saturday afternoon in Pa. I think it is the first I have seen on the road.

and it's even more slim that you'll see a bad boy F6B Trike like yours! You, my friend stand out from the cold wet crowd there in Inverness!

Last September, another board member saw me on I-40 just west of Memphis as I was traveling from the annual Rally in Franklin, NC to my home in Reno. It's documented in the F6B sightings thread.

I think you missed my point, we were both on our bikes and we saw each other. Was he on his bike, and did you see him? Not that any of this matters, it was simply a topic headline to my post.

We were on I40 last Saturday between I81 & I75.
But..... the "B's" were on the trailer not pulling one. :icon_redface:

That's pretty darn cool.

I was told an easy way to distinguish yourself is to wave with one finger; now, rather than describing the bike, observers can simple ask if you were the one finger waver

Silly, but correct, in a remote way: intra cockpit communication for planes flying formation, the number "6" is the index finger pointed horizontally. (1 thru 5 are vertical, 6-10 are horizontal to the path of travel)
So, index finger at the horizontal it is!

Yup. Now, if I can just find one in the wild.....
Was out for over 125 miles this morning. No bikes at all on the way to breakfast. Many HDs during the return. One Wing. No 6s.
