    I have a friend that will be picking up a new F6B from Lake City sometime in May. (I will let him make the announcement on the board.) When we come down to pick up his bike maybe we can meet for breakfast! I will keep you tuned in.

    Jura Impressa E8 coffee maker has been in the family for years. Grinds/brews at the press of a button.

    Honda Glare

I am sure the Honda version is just repackaged product. It doesn't go on like normal wax, you do a small section at a time and actually rub it into the paint until it disappears completely, then buff. They claim that it provided a protective "shell" over the paint. I am hoping it helps protect the paint against scratches and swirl marks.

    I used Liquid Glass on my F6B and my vehicles. I will see how the Glare holds up but my initial impression is very favorable.
    Thanks for the information. I think you and I discussed this a bit (maybe on the Valk board) when I bought my F6B. The Liquid Glass is a fine product, though I'm not sure it's that much better than some others that cost far less. I plan on trying the 'Glare' polish. If my dealer doesn't have it I noticed WingStuff carries it and I can add it to my next order.

    , Dave on a great looking Wing. I really like the red/black combination and, to boot, it resolves the issue of which color is faster .

    Have you tried roasting your beans too...I haven't been able to drink even fancy coffee shop slop since I started roasting. and forget commercial beans- everytime I get different origins, basically african or indonesian, I went from coffee, to exclusively my espresso to ristretto...I'm back and forth the last two now. 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!
