I just bought my F6 in August,...kept the 07 VTX1300C model w/ 53,000 miles on it...but, after 4 K on the new wing.....I think the VTX will be for sale in the spring..

Congrads on new scooter....you have made an excellent purchase.....Shaker

Welcome friend! Glad to have you here and see you in Franklin.

Good to be home.

Welcome back - thanks for your service.
What branch & specialty? I'm guessing weather (metoc), so that could be any of the services.
If you are going to be in MD for awhile, we could link up somewhere.

Again, welcome, home!

Good guess. :-) I am in the Navy. I am in Norfolk for the week, and will be in MD for the weekend (picking up the bike and seeing my family).

I found all my cold weather gear, so will almost immediately go for a long ride.

What is that in FL? A long-sleeve shirt?

I know a few of your kinfolk.....Tim Schul (LT mustang - I think)

[blackmetoc]

Yeah, just a long sleeve T in FL, but I am up in MD right now which is where I bought it. I am visiting my family. I rode yesterday from the dealer to my parents' house. That was about an hour and a half ride. I was fully layered in sniffle gear issued for my last deployment to Afghanistan. It was a God send.
I know Tim. He and I will be working together when I get back to reserve status.Attachment 10611Attachment 10612

Congrats !! Spent 4 years in the Navy back in my younger years, sometimes wished I had stayed in, would have been at least an Admiral by now.

Yes, he is a Reservist as well - should have mentioned that for better ID, but y'all weather guys have a small community.
Tim has a beautiful lime green/black Valk Tourer. We did a ride together back in the summer, I was on my 98 Red & Cream Valk.

Congrats on the bike. Loads of fun.
And welcome home.
