This is a Motorcycle Dream Road at this point in the ride. Before that you encounter rocks in turns, coal trucks on week days, and ATV's on the road. Drop offs from Hell and all manner of disasters waiting to happen. But that's what makes it fun. Wimp here chasing a Harley that was in the ride as well.  Big Al |

Always a pleasure, to help out any way I can.
Great folks seem to follow the Valkyrie Rider Groups.
Someone asked me one time why do you ride a Kawasaki to a Valkyrie Run?
It's the people that make it special, you meet the nicest people on a Honda. So to speak.
That is a slogan they used for a while.
But the VRCC is a good bunch to know and have fun with.

Riding out from under some trees on a gravel road and viewing a structure that could have been seen by "Elric of Melniboné" was stunning. I was gob smacked.
I've seen some amazing things in my life and that ranks way up there.

Made it home last night about 1:30 am, after having problems with the valk. my son came from shreveport to pick me up. I got up this morning went out and unloaded the bike. Long story short I took it apart and just as I figured it was the drive shaft. I should of changed it when I changed the wheel bearing. Still had a great time hope to see you all again some time soon, Thanks for the ride joe, I know from experieance that doing things like that takes a lot of work. Walt.....
