Leaving the F6 group and going back to my BMW. The F6B just isn't the right fit for me at this point. Don't get me wrong it is a great bike, rides and handles well.... and of course has plenty of grunt, just not right for me. I'll have my hip sorted out next week and the F6 decision was really based on my ability to ride without hip pain, and for that it worked well.
I want to thanks everyone for their advice as I fumbled my way around the new bike, a special thanks to Mile's whom always had an answer and sound reasoning for any recommendations. Maybe we'll run into each other out on the road... (I'll buy the coffee).
I hope Honda gets the paint fixed for those with an issue, and I wish everyone many happy and safe miles.

Because I like to be in the know with bikes, I'll likely stop by from time to time and see what you fellas are doing to trick out your machines.... Enjoy the ride.......... T
