Tahquamenon River

[RTaz]

15 years ago my wife took a picture of me with my new Honda Valkyrie at the mouth of the Tahquamenon River where it flow's into Lake Superior in Michigan's UP.

I thought it only fitting to have a repeat picture with my F6B.....

Hey RTaz, we were at the gas station in Grand Marais Mi last Friday and Fritz saw a black F6B riding with a girl on a CamAm Spyder. I only saw the Spyder so was that you?

Yes that was us...I was surprised to see a f6b up there...

[JackB]

Too bad we didn't meet up. Did you see my bike or Fritz's Valkyrie?

[Milkmaster]

Which bike is your favorite?

Nice pic.

Hi Jack, I did see the bikes and I did wave...I really feel like an ass for not stopping but I was kinda on a mission to ride h-58 and get to our motel before dark. We had already ridden over 200 miles of twisty roads and was getting a little itchy to check in, we had another 100 miles and 50 of those was h-58. We do ride up through the U.P. several times a year and plan to head to the Wisconsin area next year for sure maybe we could hook up then.

The Valkyrie Interstate has treated me very well over the last 15 years and up to the point of me getting the f6b it is by far the best ride I have ever owned. The F6B is now the exact bike that I need at my age, it will extend my riding pleasure for many years to come. The handling and ride are superior to the Valkyrie but each bike has merits of their own, the classic look of the Valkyrie the shear size of the bike and the great sound of the Valkyrie (I built custom pipes for it, holly hotshot glasspacks) put the Valkyrie ahead of most bikes in my opinion. The clean lines of the F6B along with the ease of maneuvering and the dependability and technology of the bike move it ahead of the Valkyrie for me now. My wife owns a Can Am Spyder and I was sure that would be my next bike until I rode the F6B. I never buy a bike on condition of resale value because I plan on riding the bike until I can't or it can't ride no more! I love the f6b and the Valkyrie and they both fit in my garage so I will keep them both.

We were right behind you on h-58 WHAT A GREAT ROAD!!!!!
We had a little trouble finding a hotel in Musising then we stopped at Scott's Hotel cheap kind a clean but for $41.33 a night what a deal the other places were well over $100.
Next day was Copper Harbor, more great roads.
On Sunday we drove home.
When you come to Wis let me know.
Ride safe.
