"Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know, to live and die on this day, to live and die on this day"
I'll turn 74 next month. I've always said that I would ride into my 70's but recently changed that to 80's. I first saw an F6B about two years ago and knew that I would eventually have one. I finally found exactly what I was looking for 385 miles away on E-bay. I made the offer that same day, got an acceptance and before the sun went down I had my motorcycle trailer hooked up and was on my way. After my first ride on the B I put my Valkyrie on Craigslist. I loved that Valkyrie and put over 40,000 miles on it, but this B is everything the Valkyrie was and more. With the addition of the Madstat windshield that I installed yesterday this bike is perfect.
I'll be 67 next week. I got my Black 2013 Deluxe early this past August with 16000 miles on it. I have several other bikes including a 1975 Red GL1000 that I bought new and a 1981 GL1100 I bought used in 2010. When I got the F6B it had a car tire on the rear. Took almost 48 hours to get it off and it will never go back on. Tire mileage versus handling and safety just isn't worth it. The bike wouldn't turn a corner at low city speeds. Try and try and then it would climb up on the curve of the sidewall and suddenly turn. Not fun! Put a Bridgestone on it- now it's FUN!

55 in march
Turned 50 in January. Waiting on delivery of my 2015 F6B deluxe
I’m 63 now and still a hanging on to mine. Two bike accidents have put a damper on my riding. Waiting to see how I feel this Spring.
“Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.
55 years old. Bought myself a new to me 2016 Deluxe. Been riding for 32 years. By far the best motorcycle I’ve ever owned. What a beast
This thread was started in 2013. Has the chart been updated to reflect current ages of riders? Does it update automatically each year to reflect age of riders?
Just wondering how accurate it is in 2020.
The "poll" is simply a total of all votes since it was started. Voters must be member of the Forum and can only enter a "vote" once.
2016 F6B Standard Matte Silver. Freedom Combat Slip-Ons, BaggerShield 11" - 19" Sport Shield, Kuryakyn Ergo II Highway Pegs, Ultimate King Seat w/Driver Backrest, Pathfinder Running/Turnsignal/Driving Lights, Beeline Moto Navigation, INNOVV K2 Camera, DHS Racing Shifter Linkage Upgrade, Show Chrome Handlebar Risers and Luggage Rack.
It would be interesting to see how many have kept their F6B over the past 7 years and what age group they are in today today. I am 65 and soon will move into the 66-70 age group. Wondering if the percentages in age groups have changed much.
