    Invisible saddlebags

    I rode the F6B to our local burger joint (local place, not a chain) last night to pick up some food for my daughter and I. I walked in and asked for the order I had called in. The waitress, who evidently had seen me pull up, handed me the bag and asked, "How are you going to carry it?
    I told her I would put it in my saddlebag.
    She said, "You don't have any saddlebags."
    I said, "Yes, I do."
    She stared out the window at my bike and said, "I'm not seeing them."
    I told her to watch me when I left and she would see me open the saddlebag and stow the food inside.
    I assume she did, I didn't go back in to check. But I was puzzled and amused that she couldn't see the saddlebags on the F6B for what they are.

    Should have told her "transformer" mode. She may have understood that.

    If she couldn't see the saddlebags,,, she probably didn't see that roach run across your burger either!!!

    She probably thought the engine was in the back.
