I think I want a F6B, convince me.

Greg,
Per your request - from an HD rider:
- Two herniated discs.
- Still have my '95 FLSTN - original soft tail shock thingy.
- I ride both.
- Harley ride is "firmer."
- Done 1000 mile days on both. Less motrin required with the 6.

Now - do what the others suggest: go ride one. Have them put the rear pre-load on the "comfy" setting, see what you think.

You guys are trying too hard. He wants someone to beg him. I hope he buys another HD. That way when I blow past him he will have something to complain about.

Ah perverse psychology.

Chipmaker,
If your Harley is so wonderful why don't you go to a Harley forum?
You never seem to have much good to say about F6Bs yet you feel a need to remain on the F6B forum.
Why is that?

I deleted that post because it didn't say exactly how I felt.
You can stick up for him all you like.
You have an opinion, he has an opinion and I have a right to mine.
I just don't see anything positive about coming on a forum and always finding fault with the F6B.
Go to a Harley forum and start talking about how much better you like your F6B than a Harley and see what responses you get.

Ah, I must have been mid posting and didn't see them. Chip did compliment the 6, and then called it an Accord, which I don't understand. But, hey he gave an evaluation and I am sure the OP appreciates it. I went and looked at HD videos of the Rushmore and I like the entertainment system but the bike just seems compact. I don't ride for the entertainment system. I want wide open, performance and scenery.

Curious of OTD pricing on a Rushmore.

Why settle for one….Ride em all…..

Pain is the limiting factor in the pursuit of continued riding pleasure. The choice therefor is the bike that can be operated the longest time before the pain becomes a safety factor for all concerned.

I agree. I don't hang out on HD sites telling them how good the B is. On my 109 site if the guys that know me ask I try to keep my answer low key or send a pm. Personally I think its low rent and petty to come on here and sing the praises of another brand when you don't even own a B. Just my opinion but I entitled.

No, you are under standing me wrong, I will not buy another Harley, but I'm trying to find out what to buy. I've been there done that. Had Harleys since 95, time for something different, that looks good easy to ride and doesn't beat you to death.
