Post your favorite valk pics.
I think Scott likes beetle bags and flames Sometimes my favorite Valkyrie pictures remind me of moments on good rides... nothing really happened here, I was kind of getting on it on 215 trying to catch up to Henry and had one of those  moments when I came around a turn...  It makes me want to ride every time I see this picture from on the way to the Whiskey Run...  -Mike |

HDL's wide tire kit in the development stage. If memory serves me correctly it was a used Bumblebee that got tapped as the mule for this job. I wanted to do this bad but the $3K price tag and me still paying for the bike squashed that. The way used accessories sell no telling what some would give now. Anyone know if this bike was ever put back on the road with that kit on it?  |

This particular bike caught my eye many years ago. I thought it was blown but as these pics show it was not at this time. If I remember correctly the gentleman in the picture succumbed to cancer a few years after this picture was taken, I believe the handle was Gladiator. I never met him or the bikes new owner however some of you may have rode with him. I also believe he was from Colorado. I hope some of you may be able to confirm or correct these statements. It was a cleanly executed bike IMHO.  |

What kind of pipes?  Those are SuperTrapps and I have only heard sounds files but I would be a big supporter of them if I was going to go bagless. |

I for one don't remember but I am pretty sure it was in Europe or Japan. I had one more view so I posted it too.  |

I think Scott likes beetle bags and flames -Mike I wouldn't want one with Beetle bags from a functional standpoint, but I do think they make a Valkyrie look pretty sweet! -Scott |

Stole this off Tim Skelton's site. I'm thinking this one bit the dust. Someone on here knows for sure. Great looking bike.  |

I think that blue one was our own f6gal's, that met it's demise at the hands of a kamikaze deer as I recall... I'll defer to her for confirmation though...

 mike USMC's bike. havent heard from him ina long time. I know he was selling it. I just LOVE the pipes...  my bike at rods and rockers car and bike show here in my town a few weeks ago. Sad part is, My old computer crashed and I lost the pics I had. My 2 fav valks of all time are john schmidt's and sgt. bunny's bikes but, alas, I lost the pics. I believe that they are my 2 fav's with Joe's blue and white one closing hard. No disrespect to anyone else's valk. just those are my 3 tops fav's besides the phat girl...If either of these gentlemen would post the pics for me, so I can save them again, i WOULD TRULY APPRICIATE IT.  |

Big John....some really nice looking bikes here. I get inspired from these and maybe.....just maybe when I retire I might have time to copy a few ideas from each one. That Big black bike with the triple headlamps always appealed to me.
