hey yall.....im new to these parts. not new to forums, just new to this f6b forum. ive been riding goldwings since 1993, when i bought a new SE. the wife and i have been all over this fine country on the 93, then i bought a new 2003 in (03) black, and her a brand new 2006 vtx, last year, so she could ride her own. weve been enjoying the rides ever since. i love this new f6b. i think honda hit a home run bringing this baby out! right now im down from riding because my hips (both of them) decided to say **** ya, and started rubbing bone on bone, and so i have had to get the left one replaced, now the right one is hurting, so i will have to take some time off for that one too. so my message to yall is, DONT EVER GET OLD!!!!! lol..............but i guess it beats the alternative! yall keep on winginit rick
