    The bike is beautiful, but I now realize why none of you guys have any miles. Y'all are all sitting around the counter with your pinkies out sipping coffee made from roasted beans. Wtf? LET'S RIDE!

    Congrats! Love that anniversary model color scheme. The "heated" seat comment made me do a double take😜!
    I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.

    Remember not how a man died, but rather how he lived.

I use a whirley pop on the stove with a GOOD exhaust fan. BTW I don't consider it snobbery, once you taste the good stuff, nothing else is right. I assume you use a Burr mill and not a bladed grinder thingy. Whoops...maybe I AM a snob!
    I wondered if that could be done effectively at home. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

    Amen to that! 25 years in the fire service here. For the first ten we had an old electric urn type that I don't think was ever cleaned out, we just added more to it. Probably still had a few grounds from the first batch ever brewed in it. But at 3AM after being out at a fire in sub zero temperatures, that was some good coffee!

    I'm like right in between Ft Wayne and South Bend

    Nice! Highly recommend Lake City Honda if you ever need service or sales. Great bunch of folks. Bought my Valkyrie, F6B and Wing from them in the last decade or so. First bike I bought from them in 1985 was a new V65 Sabre. At the time, that was one fast motorcycle!

Cruise control is something that I have never had on a bike before and after that short trip is now a must have!

    We went to pick up the bike at Lake City Honda in Warsaw, Indiana and the bike was sparkling, freshly polished with the new Honda Glare product. The dealer went thru and explained every system in the bike, set up my navigation and satellite radio preferences and made sure that all my questions were answered before I left. Great experience, I would not even consider purchasing from another dealer.

    Brought her home, added the Kuryakyn mini boards and various other farkles. While I sold my F6B late last fall I figured I would still hang out here if you guys don't mind.

    For the life of me I do not know how you could have waited this long.
    I would have been having coffee every morning while sitting on the seat
    with the radio playing some road music. Honest Dave how did you do it bro.

    Filtered water is key for good tasting coffee.
