    No one bike is going to give you everything you want it's a matter of degrees. In my case it was literally the degrees on my Harley, couldn't take the heat of the 103. I didn't care if the F6B didn't have cruise, I could always fix that, all that mattered is it had liquid cooling, it was a touring bike and it had a solid pedigree. I used to swap every two years with my bikes so maybe they were just waiting for the cruise on the 2015. The F6B buyer is not a first time buyer so there is a lot of time in the saddle and a wealth of riding behind that purchase. Besides there really is no where to go from here, especially not backwards so I am guessing either lifestyle or upgrade. Maybe that's a good question to ask at the dealer when they bring it in.

    I can't help but chuckle when people poke fun of HOG. One friend of mine calls it Hundreds Of Gays. Anyway, I'm a Harley owner and HOG member and really enjoy the camaraderie. My chapter actually rides. I checked out the GWRRA after I got the F6B but quickly found out it stands for Gold Wing Restaurant Raiders Association. I know there are Wing groups out there that do a lot of riding but the ones I've seen around here just ride 50 miles to get ice cream. I love my F6B for commuting and two up traveling but I put a lot of miles on my little Harley and love it just as much. It's just different. I went through a phase of wearing the pirate outfits but have found myself more and more embarrassed to wear the vest and all that crap. Now it just hangs in the closet. I love to ride, no matter what I'm riding, and I don't knock anyone for riding what they like to ride. If you're fists are in the wind, it's all good with me.

    Maybe it's funny , or maybe unconventional . Due to riding various bikes , I never judge the owners of different brands . My observations are rather focused on the passengers , sitting behind the riders . If I see fluffy , overweight ( and usually ugly ) tits exposers on HDs , I turn my head with disgust . In comparison to pretty , nicely dressed chicks, leaning to their boyfriend's on Ducati's or BMW's , my heart pumps harder and make me designated to ride even more . Is there only one thing , which I really hate , is the German Nazi helmets on riders wearing sneakers and dirty t-shirts.

    ps. Please do not accuse me for intollerance .

    So here's what I have owned. I buy whatever I want, I'm not locked into any manufacturer. Most I only keep for a few years. The F6B is going to cost me the most in depreciation.
    I have ridden low tech and the highest tech. And here I am about to trade in F6B for another Harley. Guess I'm just not very logical. Or I really like those overpriced shirts.
    Thank God I am fortunate enough to ride what I want to ride. I will be selling locally my Madstad windshield.

    Hahaha just yesterday a new HD-like shop opened in our town and my wife asked me, why i don't go there to watch their opening party. I told her exactly the same

    Harley Davidson really brings legitimacy to the weekend warrior. And it's a fact that besides AIDS it's the #2 killer of yuppies and hipsters.

    My 2015 F6BD is black/silver matte and looks bad enough to be a member of any club..... I notice the HD riders always give a nod to my bike. I had a low rider for 3 years and it bothered my hips. The F6B is a lot more comfortable- and I can hear the music at more than legal speed.......
