I got a k1600 GTL. Nice bike u have there. But I think you would agree there are many a hardly rider who is a loud poser.

Pretty much what I have on order.

Platinum F-150 4x4, 157 wb loaded. I drove one and was really impressed with the engine/transmission combination.

Only the 3.5 ecoboost for 2017, all of the engines will have dual injection for 2018 along with the 10 speed.

Speaking of Harleys.I'm a member of HD Forums and this site is way busier than the HD site,and I thought HD owners were big into modifying our rides.It's nothing compared to this bunch of F-150 owners.....lol

Not really, the danger is usually in front of you, not behind you. I have usually found the louder the pipe on a harley, the slow the bike, not enough back pressure to make good torque.

A pulsing headlight/taillight is a good investment for a motorcycle.

They also all get start stop. The base v6 gets smaller and doesn't get the 10 speed trans though.

If I see a bike though I make extra sure I know where they are around me.
