    Cool New F6 owner

    Hello to all! After many years I traded my beloved 2001 Valkyrie. I really enjoyed that bike, thought I would
    keep it forever but the 6 carbs were getting to be an issue as she aged. I tired the '13 used f6b (only 800 miles!) the dealer in Sanford
    Florida had last weekend (I live in Mount Dora) and was hooked as I took it up to 90 on I-4 test ride! Yes it is faster (and far smoother) than
    my Valk. It sure does not feel like it weighs 800+ pounds !
    Hope to meet up with some owners in the central Florida area in the future!

    You've bought a helluva' bike, as we all know.

    Now the fun starts making it even better and more personal with all the accessories and mods available.

    I am coming to I-4 in March for bike week, staying in Orlando because I am not giving the motels in Daytona Beach $1700 for 7 day stay ! Soooooooo back & forth I will go staying at the Motel 6 off Lees road. I will be riding from Central IL stopping in Savannah, Ga the first of March then down to Orlando around the 8th of March. I am a new owner myself my bike has 104 miles on it ! Maybe we can get together for a cup or a can in March.

    I will be in the area also-- staying free with my father in Jacksonville and my sister in law in Palm Bay. Driving the 1 1/2 hours is worth the not paying crazy prices. Did that a few years ago when 5 of us crammed in a suite. We were all at each others throat when we left.

    Driving the wifes 180 HP go kart instead of the B. Best thing to a bike and much better when the weather turns bad-- put up the top and turn on the heater.IMG_0052.jpg
