What are the ages of F6B Riders / Owners ?

Phew... just made the second age interval. One more year and I would be OLD at age 41.

Better enjoy this year

There were several comments that came to mind....fortunately I only had 2 pints of banana daiquiri and I am able to keep all the "good" ones bottled up.
With regards to the most popular age bracket here? Just follow the money.....

I figured I would hear some for saying "41" is old. Thanks for being kind about it. It's all good. I'm a firm believer in ride what you like. Even if you don't necessarily fit the intended marketing demographics... or do I?

It's always neat to meet new guys from different forums and to get a feel for the culture of the group.

So far, it's been fun and I've talked with some good people.

Off topic, but I went to my first bike night with my F6B. My observation. I'm too old for this $hit. I enjoy looking at different types of bikes and various customization, but I just want to ride. I think I've seen nearly every type of bike and most every after market accessory.

Is it a Goldwing thing or am I just becoming practical in my more mature years?

The F6B is not meant to be stationary. She'll make you "want to ride."
My take on the bike nights & bike shows are that they are for the "jack & polish" riders. As in polish the bike then to it.
I do not believe that 2 wheeled vehicles should be reduced to passive works of art by adding so much bling.
Having said that, I do own the Guggenheim "Art of the Motorcycle" book. But that's at another level.....

More practical? No. If you were "practical" you would have bought an Elio car at 87mpg.
As you stated, you want to ride and you found the ideal platform to do that.

See you in Franklin?

Here's my take...I'll do a charity ride for the ride. After that's done, I go ride some more. I'll be darned if I waste an afternoon sitting in line for a hot dog. Our weather up here doesn't allow for wasted time as long as you enjoy riding and not the show.

It's a fun machine, not for sitting in the garage

53 I like bike nights. Even if its 90% HD u still enjoy looking at another mans creation. My bike is always ultra clean. I don't ride dirty MCs. Unless its a dirt bike. Nothing wrong with being proud of your bike and keeping it nice for others to look at. A little bling never hurt anyone.

...roger that. Nothing against clean bikes. Nothing against some guy with a lot of coin looking to bling out his bike. But don't take offense when someone asks "how much for a girl, overnight?"
And? Let's not get started on the "creations" from American Chopper and the rest. Yeah, they're cool to look at for a few minutes and then, "next."

Now, if you put a blower on it? Or do something really technologically cool? Now you got my attention.
Just me, perhaps. I've always been off the beaten path of "the latest fashion" and what money can buy. Too much regimented living, I suppose.

I am 54 will be 55 in a few months and I am picking up my brand new Black 2013 standard this Wednesday. I'm calling it my early retirement gift. I have been riding Harleys the past 20 years.
