Clinton, Ohio is about a hour west of me. Nice area. Weather should be warm. Cant tell about rain that far out.
Enjoy your trip and be safe.
ITS ALL GOOD
Let me know, I cash in on that brew.
Are you coming down further south from BigLarry?
If so there are some other peeps with F6B"s who want to meet you.

But you ain't riding no tank, but an F6B![]()
I am taking a close look at the FB6. I'm starting to think it checks the all the boxes for my next 2-up motorcycle.
I've ridden for a long time and have had something like 30 street motorcycles over the years. My riding leans (pun intended) toward the sporty side of sport touring. And I tend to ride 100-600 miles when I throw a leg over. These days, I have a self-imposed limit of 2 motorcycles in the garage. 1 for solo rides and the other for 2up with the missus.
I have a BMW R1200R water boxer, which has become my all-time favorite motorcycle. It does everything really well, except my passenger doesn't care for the rear seat.
I've gone through a number of 2 up motorcycles...cruisers and sport tourers. The missus prefers cruisers, but none of them seem to hold my interest because of their suspension/handling/performance limitations. I currently have a 2010 Kawasaki Nomad 1700. It has factory cruise control & it's the best handling of any big cruiser I've ridden. But it's still a cruiser.
I've ridden a 2014 Valkyrie. I loved the motor, but the rest of it didn't make sense for me.
I really wanted to like the CTX1300, but it wasn't Honda's best effort.
I wanted her to like the R1200RT, bit she didn't.
The BMW K1600 is also on my short list.
That brings me to the F6B...I've sat on a couple F6Bs, but haven't had a chance to ride one yet. How is the cornering capability compared a cruiser? How about passenger comfort compared to GW..is is good enough to keep the missus happy for 2-3 hour rides?

The F6B handles like a dream. Corners very well. You won't regret it IMO.But I could be wrong as it is a personal comfort thing.
2013 F6B in black of course
