I've been dealing with medical issues, so I've been on break for a while. in any case, this has been home, but since I'm old gen, am I still able to get much from this forum, the 2018+...?
can't afford to buy new, not even sure if I'll be able to ride for many years, but I'm going to ride as much as I can until then...
Thanks,
Rob
Still a “b” majority here, all is good, welcome back
Welcome back were all old, but we enjoy the ride. I get out as much as I can because our time is limited.
I'm heading down to Toots Bar today on me F6B! Nice and redneck'ish. Be a nice ride and a change of political scenery from up here in the Balt-DC corridor.

Welcome back Rob. Glad to se you're still around and on your B.
I'm having the same thoughts. I'm not as healthy as I should be for 68 yrs old.
But I'm gonna ride till I cant.
I have a Burgman 650 that helps with the local back roads that are very nice in this part of Ohio.
I took the Car Tire off the back of the B. I liked it for a while but was fighting it in turns. Theres nothing but turns around here.
Welcome back and safe riding.
Glad you remembered your roots. 7:30 pm, just got home from a day ride of 425 miles. The only super slab was to clear the cities. Any, anytime you can get wind therapy is a plus. We as riders only understand why dogs like to stick their head out the car window.
For sure, there is nothing like wind therapy.
Same here, 2013 B, haven't been on the forum in forever but still have my bike and fun to look every now and then.
Went for 175 mile ride a couple of days ago. Great country roads in the southern part of North Carolina and the Northern part so South Carolina. Hardly any traffic and cooler temperatures made for a great day. At 71 I still feel happier on a motorcycle than I ever felt driving any other vehicle. That’s why have owned a motorcycle continuously since 16 years old. I really like this F6b.
Glad you guys are still going on the forum. I still call my 2013 F6B my new bike to my family. 68 years old also & think I'm 30 years younger while I'm riding. It's 8pm & I think I'll go for an evening ride for a few hours. Cooled off 2 88 degrees & it's nice out. Best y'all!
Ya, some of us are still haunting this forum. I wonder where did everyone else go though?
Still checking the boards a couple of times a week. Got a lot of info here for upgrading the bike over the years. Just riding and enjoying my ride. Safe travels to all.

COVID concerns hit hard last year, and the residual effect carried through this year . The 2020 rally was very small in comparison to previous ones. I think our chief organizer(s) are a little burned out from orchestrating them (it's a lot of effort coupled with their regular lives and occupations). Maybe next year when the COVID finally blows over and if we have a resemblance of a somewhat functioning country left, we can maybe plan out something in that late summer/autumn.Quote:

Will, understood on the COVID. I am actually still dealing with the aftermath myself. I spent a few weeks in the hospital and would not have made it this year anyway.
If there is no interest in gathering next year, I may scoot up to Rick's SE Ohio event. Looks like he consistently has a pretty good turnout.
Did the Saddle Sore last year with three other riders. Didn't ever send in the info and join but it was fun ride.
Still hanging in there. Have not done a lot of riding this year because we moved to TN and been busy on that.
Hey Will, if you do the Saddle Sore and get close to south east TN, you are welcome to stop by the new place.
Oh, I didn't know you had complications from COVID. I hope you are well on the mend, and stay on good health.Quote:

Not decided yet but we don't want to stay here in Maryland after she retires. Shoot, I'd already be gone down south if I wasn't waiting for her to finish up her career.Quote:

Thanks Will. It's been a tough couple of months but I am getting there.Quote:
