Thread: It was fun at first but....

    It was fun at first but....

    I have had several bikes in my day and never had one that would stop people in their tracks. When I picked up the F6B the dealer warned me that I could generate a lot of interest and comments from total strangers. I chuckled as I put the visor down on my helmet and rode off.

    3 Months later.....

    I love my bike and love to ride it. I can see this bike and I together for a very long time. I have had the following:

    People wanting to talk while I am at a stoplight.
    People stopping me as I pull off in a parking lot.
    Tons of gas station conversations.
    Lot's of discussions on runs and rides.
    Can I sit on it?......No!


    I kinda wish I would have bought a Harley and no one would give a sh^t.

    You mean you haven't had the "is that a Harley" comment yet?

    You can have an awful lot of fun answering that question!!!!

    I have had the "well it's not a harley" or "looks like a harley wanna be" comment.

    I chalk it up to the fact that their cool head bandanna is too tight.

    Im in the same boat. Not one person has asked me about my F6B. I guess no one really cares. I feel left out.

    Yes, I have had many,many people stop about the F6....I was already use to this due to owning a Rune.....

    I pulled into a gas station the other day that was swarming with Harley riders and their Davidsons.......one guy walked over with a big smile on his face and asked if that was the new Wing. I smiled and said "Yep". He said it looks like "....a......what was that other bike called.....oh yeah, a Rune!!

    He needs to get out more........

    You need a engraved aluminum placard that says "You must be totally nude to touch this bike."

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    Good thing you did not have an F6B badge on your bike's seat. No telling what the dude would have grabbed.
    LOL
