    I get quite a bit of that out here in the SF bay area, not many F6B in these parts. On hwy 80 I get a lot cars roll up on me, look, then back off. I like to speed up and see how bad they wanna see. Had a few HD folks roll up, and see how gorgeous this machine is, sneer, and go off rappin their pipes.

    I got spit on by a guy out the passenger window of a car while stopped at a red light. That's not much for positive feedback but this is about a 99% American made area with attitude doled out by the bucket load. I ride with several different groups and MUST ride the correct bike for each group. I frankly don't care what you ride as long as you ride and enjoy it.

    I was pulled over by the local motor officer last week, was wondering what I had done this time, but he just wanted to check out the bike. In all fairness he was someone I knew from my LEO days but with a helmet on I doubt he knew it was me. Said he wished the Dept would get one as a Motor.

    Yeah, and I wonder how many of these guys are driving foreign cars. I never understood that b/s, even when I was riding HDs.

    I'm usually traveling "a little" faster than the HDs.

    My wife has people asking about her F6 all the time, at stop lights, gas stations, restaurant and store parking lots. It doesn't matter, because this bike gets attention. She loves it and just looks at me and grins.

    Once in a while, as someone is commenting on her bike, someone will same something about my Wing. But not often.......

    I was on a group ride yesterday. When we were at one of the stops the guy riding the HD in front of me said, "I keep looking in the mirror and thinking, Damn that's a good looking bike."

    I've read that HD has been pulling the wool over the HD community for years, claiming the "American Built" b/s, there was a news story about HD riders buying GENUINE HD parts in packaging marked HD Milwaukee, made in the USA, then they open the package and the part states, "made in china", on the back, HD response was they "mistakenly" packaged it wrong.

    I've never quite understood why so many people feel the need to look down on other guys for their choice of motorcycle. It's exhausting from the HD Pirates, the grumpy old fart Wingers, the Beemer flock, etc. Why can't people just enjoy the ride and not worry about the other guy, I mean really you're going to spit on someone for not riding your choice of motorcycle?

    I love my F6B, a good buddy of mine enjoys the hell out of his Stratoliner, his dad rides the crap out of a Victory Vision, and amazingly when we ride together the world does not implode on itself.
