Thanks Mike,
Today was a three smile day for sure!
The normal smile that we all get while riding a Valkyrie,
One for the great shirt sleeve tour around the area in 80 degree weather mid January,
And last but not least, a huge smile while riding and thinking about our VRCC brethren back home in Wisconsin (and other northern area's) suffering with their bikes put away till spring.
Thanks again for a great time.
Jim and Linda

Got to ride the Jack Attack Attic Rat Rod Today for a few miles. Very impressive throttle response, I was able to feel the increase in Power immediately. Next time I get to ride it  I will ride it like I should have  Sweet ride Jack, Love everything about it. |

WOW, WOW, Hold up there Nick, ??? that Black beauty almost already has "sixlow" badges on the tank.  I've offered the bank to get that ride !  Dangit Jack, be careful who gets to twist that throttle cuz it's addicting by the time 2nd gear is used up.  Honestly it is something to feel isn't it Nick ? Your welcome Jim |

Sixlow Nick and I swapped rides for a little bit cause I been wanting to try his FJR. I liked the feel, it's quick, nimble, effortless and seems to fit me just right, I bet it must be a great ride for the NC twisties. Thanks Nick, appreciate the opportunity for a test ride Ron and Robin, a couple from St. Pete area joined us today, Ron rides a cool 2003 Black Valk and Robin rides a Kawasaki 650 Versys (when I say "rides" I mean she rides with skills ), they are both experienced riders that I got to meet last month and accepted an invite for today, hopefully Nick did not scared them away and they will join us again in the near future  Steve and Larue showed up at the dumpster, they could not ride to lunch but we did get to meet Mike and Leslie at Cinnamon Sticks. All in all, it was a great day for a ride, I was starting to have withdrawals from not riding for the last month, you know that feeling of "feel right at home" when riding................ well that was me today and enjoyed every bit of it On a side note, I have not been to the dumpster in a long time and it was great to see Steve Taurus's plaque on the picnic table, gave it a little tap to say "HI" Thanks Steve Eddy for making it happen My apologies for derailing this thread but once I answered a couple of concerns.............. cough... cough...... Mr Sixlow ........... seems like I had to finish my thoughts before I forget since I am now 51 BTW Robin has also expressed a liking for the Attic Rat Rod if I ever decide to sell, I think she is next on the test ride list |

I bet when you see a sleeping bear in the woods you'd poke at it Jack, We were good till the last BTW line .. You just stirring the pot with that next on the test ride list.. No worries on the derail, I do it to myself. Glad you got to ride the FJR and I know it is a sweet ride that out handles most in its class, Nick does have good taste. Now I've been imagining the WW on my next ride ! but not sure it would go with the satin finish, also I know I have a new exhaust and valve covers on her already, might need an updated pic here Jack.  |

Is it just me or does that gas tank on the blacked out Valk look HUGE?

Yes it does Terry, and I like it. An IS tank on a stripped down bobber makes it appear massive. |

It does look HUGE Terry, it is an IS tank and the perseption is augmented by the small seat and small and lowered fender. If I had to do it again I would probably try the standard tank instead although it is really nice to not hit reserve till 200-210 miles I hope people don't think I'm over compensating for shortcomings Here is a newer pic with Two Brothers exhaust which I think is one of the best if not the best aftermarket exhaust in the performance department, not so much in the looks department but I really like the sound and performance. Besides the exhaust I also raised the rear fender by 2" and added some cool 1500 valve covers.  |

Never heard that version of the TBR exhaust. I did have the 6 exhaust version on my Tourer for one trip to Leesburg one year. Too loud for my taste and my ears, had a headache when I got back home. Fender looks good.

I love this bike Jack. (And the pipes are perfect for it.) Understanding the look, I'd need an Ultimate seat to make my ass happy though. And NO whitewalls. |
