Hey all. I'm looking forward to diving in this forum and learning more about my F6B.

This is the most amazing bike. I can't say enough good things about her. She is perfect and I love her.

Saturday makes six weeks since I bought her and I'll have surpassed 7,000 miles. :) (I teach school so three of those weeks were during summer vacation. I'm back to work and had to slow my roll :( )

At the beginning of the summer I had a Vstar 1300 and rode most of the BRP with some friends. When I went back on Sweet Georgia, I was blown away. There is absolutely nothing like this F6B.

TEXAS says hello and welcome.

I was riding to Texas the week before school started back. I was with a couple of friends going to Houston to see Kid Rock. We got to Natchez and decided to spend a couple of days in New Orleans instead. Great decision. We had a ball. Traveling on the F6B is amaaaazing.

Thanks for the warm welcome y'all.

Looks like I'm gonna be able to come up to the Rally in Franklin. Is there someone I need to talk to about this? I saw on the thread that the attendance is capped.

I got out of my trip to the Wing Thing! I think this crowd may be a bit less geriatric? J/K. But I'm really excited about seeing some other people on F6Bs.

I rode over 250 miles today! 100 to work and back and then another 150 up in the mountains.

Y'all have truly chosen a beautiful area to have a rally. I hope that y'all will look at some of the less well known roads that are just as fun to ride...with just as spectacular scenery....with a lot less traffic.

Look forward to meeting y'all!

I just went by Cycle World and picked up my windshield. I had stickers all over it so they saved it for me. I'm going to hang it in my garage.

I loved that bike 64000 miles on the VStar 1300. I thought I would ride that bike forever.

Now I can't believe I ever rode something that slow.

I had mine for 6 months and it had to go.
I ride with a group of retirees that goes on 300-500 mile lunch runs.
The Yamaha was killing me.
With the F6B,it is a piece of cake to do those runs.

I rode 10,700 this summer from May 22 at 16:30 to July 27 at 8:00am.

Part of that was on Pearl, my VStar 1300 before the rear wheel bearings shot.

Then I took my friend's Street Glide to Northern KY while Pearl was in the shop. I got Pearl back and drove her two days before trading her in on Sweet Georgia.

And I haven't looked back. :)

Up here if you get behind a Dudley DoRight, there's no chance to safely pass. If you pass, it's in a curve on a double yellow line with trees crowding both sides of the road.

Down there???? SEEYA!

It was the most amazing summer of my life. My intentions were to ride coast to coast SOLO on Pearl during the month of July. I spend June riding long distances every day to get in riding form.

Then the rear wheel bearings shot and after getting that fixed, I couldn't afford to do the coast to coast trip in the style I was planning. So I got Sweet Georgia and spent every day on the bike.

I rode the BRP twice. Rode to Northern KY to visit my brother. Rode to Natchez and New Orleans. Savannah.

Too much fun.

Working is for the birds. But I kinda like a roof over my head and hot showers occasionally

Yep! I figure if Sweet Georgia is my consolation prize for not getting to do the coast to coast, I'm in good shape. :)

Oddly enough, I don't really have the urge to do coast to coast on SG. It would be way too easy. On Pearl, it was at least going to be challenging. Something to prove.

We rode to Juliette, GA. The town's claim to fame is that it was used for the filming of Fried Green Tomatoes and they have the Whistle Stop café. My buddy rode Sweet Georgia for the first time. He took off and was flying. I was laughing so hard and when he came back across the bridge, he was flying. He got off the bike and said in an awed voice, "I hit 100 both times!" Hilarious.
