I feel the same way when I watch a movie and they destroy a pristine looking classic car for no apparent reason. But it's their money and (face it) Our Valks just aren't worth that much anymore. But come on, really. With that few of miles?

They sure look like they're having fun.
It was a really sharp looking machine.
That last thing they were riding looks like a good "Beer Run" machine for when I'm 85.

Thought the video was interesting and kinda fun.
At the end of the day all they could do was blow a clutch out.
They really couldn't kill it and it outperformed the other stuff they had.
It made it up that sand hill. That was impressive. 1200 lbs of bike. Just zipped right up.
Says volumes about the Valkyrie.
Read about guys going through far reaches of Alaska on Valks, I been in a highway wreck with one and it got fixed and went 70k miles more before I sold it. In fact after the wreck the Deputy told me he picked up the bike and rode it off to a nearby parking lot.
These bikes are tough.
I'd bet if the bike had a spirit it was having a blast too.

Last time I tried to use the IS as a dirt bike was a few years ago and my ankle was shattered. I don't think many can plant a foot to make a turn with a 800 plus pound bike. I don't recommend it.
