    Quite a week!

    Wife and I 'MC vaca' for a week in AR every year. Trailered up this year with just her Yami Roadliner as I picked up my F6B in Russellville on the 14th,,,

    I've never ridden a 'Wing, and didn't really know what to expect from the F6B,,,

    Spent the last week putterin around the Ozarks,,, A few short stretches on I-40 as well,,,

    "Seamless, easy to ride, well-mannered, smooth, wide powerband,,," Jeesh, the list went on and on.

    Some of the things you don't experience are equally nice,,, None of the roasting at stoplights from an air-cooled twin,, far less shifting 'out in the sticks' as the flat six will run 35 in 5th w/o excessive - 'lugging',,, Quiet powertrain,,, Wind protection beyond just a shield or a 'batwing',,,

    Quite a 'change for the better' from my prior Yami Stratoliner,,,

    All this time, my Wife was behind me on her Roadliner,,,

    So, we swapped rides,,,, In doing so, the differences between the Wing and the 'Liners became even more apparent,,,

    The wife noticed it too,,,

    We talked,,,

    And,,,

    Uh,,,

    Umm,,,

    We traded her Roadliner in on a F6B today.

    Mine is Black/Blurple, Hers is all black.

    One more day in the Ozarks, and then we're heading home,,, with (2) SWEET Honda's!!!

    Yes, it's been quite a week!

    I'm tickled and the wife still can't believe it!
    We had no intentions whatsoever of trading her bike for anything during this trip or even after our return. She was completely happy with it.
    The more I rode my F6B, and after she took a couple spins on it, the differences between the Honda and her 'Liner were made very apparent,,,, WAY greater than either of us had ever thought it would be! The F6B is just that sweet!
    So, as we were already here in Russellville, we decided to "double-down!"

    Cold front came through yesterday,, rain,,, but today was excellent weather for riding!
    Wife and I got 200 lazy miles in today before we started loading eveything up.
    There were '8 million' other riders out everywhere today,,, Bikes, Blues and BBQ is going on in Fayetteville. LOTS of happy folks out having fun riding the Ozarks,,,

    Life is good!!!

    Hey guy, congratulations on the new rides! They do perform very well and are a joy to scoot about on. I put on a taller F4 shield with vent and in our cool alaskan wx it helped. Have fun this winter touring TX. It's snowing and 25 deg in Fairbanks so we'll be done riding in a week to 10 days.
