It was fun at first but....

Yes brother. I saw The F6B and was saved, as in saved from Harley cultism. I had an Electra Glide Classic. I liked it much. I commenced buying it all kind of pretty things to put on it. By now I was deep in the Harley Kool-aid. I started riding with other cult members and our ending destinations was always the local Harley Dealer shrine. We'd always ride to the shrine and pay homage, and buy stuff. The last ride was about our ride to the shrine. The next trip was to go to another shrine and buy another $60 tee-shirt that proved we had been there to worship. Soon it was the boots, then the chaps, then the gloves, do -rags, hats, tin signs, the pins, more shirts, shot glasses, underwear, anything Harley. Nothing but Harley oil, Harley cleaning stuff, and Harley magazines. Then one day while at the shrine, I was about to pop on a $500 coat when my wife just up and slapped me. I saw stars. Then I saw a bunch of overpriced merchandise and they same bikes I been seeing for 50 years but with different tank badges. As I was recovering I started looking at other bikes, and riding them and then I went full circle from my early Honda 175 Scrambler, XL350, 450 twin, and CB750 back to this F6B Honda. I like it much but I don't worship it. I don't have anything that says Honda, but I might get something. Things change, times change, Harleys don't. We've all changed. You don't meet the nicest people on a Honda no more. Bout damn time them othe a-holes know that. It don't get old. later....
What was this thread about anyways?

That's some funny stuff there because I know what you are talking about since I own a Street Glide.

Double Dog Ditto! While reading this my last few riding years were flashing through my head. So glad to be free from the shrine and the worship. Now I just worship the road. Anyone wanna buy some Harley gear?

Oh yeah, and so far my bike has been confused with a Victory Vision, and someone thought it was a BMW. I think it looks like a two wheeled Cadillac. Thinking about some caddy badges front and rear.

Sounds like the life I had before seeing the light. I had reliability issues (I know you cant believe that) with my last Harley under warranty and the stealership refused to make it right. When it broke down and left me stranded for the fourth time in 6 months I decided to give them one last chance. When they refused to fix it, I traded it on the F6B. When I returned to sell the extended warranty back to the shop, the owner of the shop came out to look at the new ride. I had been getting ripped off at this shop for 6 years through 3 bikes, the owner said "That is a nice looking bike, dont you get warm behind that engine", Nope it is water cooled, "Well the only real issue I see with that bike is that you wont get any credibility pulling up to the bar on a Honda" I couldnt resist, it came out like water.....I couldnt get any pushing the Harley on a trailer either but you couldnt fix that. He dropped his head and walked back inside.
