    Blushing, Awe Shucks

    Does anyone ever feel guilty or a little overwhelmed when confronted by compliments on your bike? Oh please stop, wink wink, keep 'em coming.

    I went over to a friend's place last night/evening. He has a small bike shop. Works on everything but mostly Harleys. Had a couple of friends over , he was manning the grill . My friend rides a Harley and likes to go fast . We both enjoy spirited riding. He was telling them of a recent experience , I'll leave out the speed , but he was recounting how he thought he had me and that damn Honda just flew right by him while he was tapped out. His buddies, part of a local MC , just ogled over my bike. Then I played the stereo for them. Definitely makes you feel good.

    The dealer where I bought mine has sold a lot of F6Bs. All 13s. Mine was the first. I called him up to see what he could do on a deal last July. He didn't have one, but he said he could get one by the next day. He was still waiting on a 14 to arrive that he had ordered. After the deal we did, it got him thinking and he cancelled the 14 he had been waiting on . He has continued to bring in 13s and he has them maybe 2 weeks at most before he sells them. I truly believe he owes me some commission, because I have been out there circulating with a lot of groups and the best advertisement he could have ever paid money for. He just opened up last year, about 2 miles from my house in little Elizabethtown ,KY.

    When in the Smokies a few weeks ago

    I got compliments from Harley guys all weekend long--- and I did not know how to respond. A simple "thanks" seems hollow-- One time I said "I used to ride Harleys". It makes for quite an awkward moment.
