Ride Report--First 5 days of ownership and 900 miles.
I picked up my fast black F6B Saturday afternoon with less than a mile on the clock and I am now over 900 miles.
I have not been able to wipe the sh*t eating grin off my face.
Special thanks to Texas TC for inviting me to his house and giving me some good advice about the bike. He sold me his stock seat and shipped it to Russell Day Long for me.
I am buying the Day-Long seat based on BIGLRYs advice. I am also heeding his counsel to get the seat right before looking at windshields.
Thank you BIGLRY!
I also have to mention Peter and the good folks at Moto-Liberty sold me a Schuberth S2 helmet with the bluetooth built-in. Works like a charm. My wife called me and after we chatted for a while, she asked me when I was getting back on the road. I explained to her that I was going 80 down the highway the entire conversation. The acoustics are that good.
Also special thanks to Keith at Goldwing Werks just north of Houston. He sold me Helibars and installed them while I waited. He also did my 600 mile service. Very reasonable pricing (770 for the Helibars-including shipping to him, 100 for the Helibar install and 80 for the 600 mile service. Keith is a great guy and knows his stuff. However, I am pretty sure his white Lab puppy named Doc is the brains of the outfit.
This is the best damn bike I have ever ridden. I feel more confident riding it than my previous BMW or my Pacific Coast. That being said, I want to learn more and get better at it. I will be on this forum trying to glean as much knowledge as I can.
I look forward to meeting more members of the forum as time goes on.
You will be able to recognize me from my grin!
Thanks in advance to all!
