Stories like yours make me want the F6b all that much more. Sold my Warrior a little over a month ago, it road away a couple of hours before I went on my ride w/the Harley and it broke down, been w/out a bike since then. Have been following this forum, daily, since I joined. A friend, in the riding club I belong to, bought a black one, the faster color, a little over a month ago, and loves it. My plan, at this point is to get the Harley fixed, in the spring, keep it for the look and sound, and pick up a used F6B in the spring. Gives me the winter to pay off some things or maybe get rid of a toy in exchange for the F6B.
