    Hello and welcome!

    My parents and a sister (plus her family) live in Cedar Park...it's a very beautiful area, as well is the Austin TX Metroplex Region!
    Thanks Jim - a.k.a. Bama Bagger

    I still ride a 1300R VTX. I installed the Kisan headlight modulator. I know for sure, it has saved me from getting run over several times in the last six years I've owned the bike. May want to look in to getting the Kisan for your bike.

    These were cases where the driver literally sped up and cut me off to prevent me from doing an easy pass. It was obvious and intentional, hence my "PTSD boyfriend" theory, but more likely a bizarre coincidence or, the Can't Understand Normal Thinking factor (that was classic!).

    I don't think it was a visibility issue, although I do see some riders with front-end modulation and I think it does grab attention.

    I get that all the time. People next to me creep up to try to stop me from passing. Doesn't work anymore with the F6B. I twist the throttle and pass in a flash. I get stuck behind the Prius's (Priusi?) in the carpool lane all the time. They don't concern me anymore since I can get around them so fast. My SG was such a slug.

    I think it's about time for you to release the parking brake!
    I can't identify with an F6B that has to yield to ? an SUV that's accelerating?
    A quick shift into third gear is all you'll ever need.
