Cowdy, welcome to the Texas VRCC. I used to think the same.  These folks that frequent this site they will grow on you. |

Welcome to the fraternity - I was captured by my valk in December 2010. There is tons of information on the valk here and plenty of good folks willing to help.
Good Luck....

I recommend being frequent. You'll find out a whole bunch of stuff, some useful. And you'll also find out about rides, meetings, wrench parties, etc.

Woody reminded me that perhaps introductions really would be in order since I myself am also a newbie in VRCC. My name is Orvo ( yes, it's a real name  ), my handle comes from the name of my bike, Sigrún the Valkyrie, whom I've been riding with for almost 3 years and 25 000 miles worth. Still madly in love with her  For some reason I've never gotten around to register in VRCC, but thought now to mend my ways and join as a member. Already found the forum to be a source of all kinds of information. Cheers! Orvo |

Welcome Christbiker and Sigrún! I'm not much of a social creature, but I am very thankful that I hooked up with these Valk folks. I'm with Rainmaker...even if you are not "frequent", it would be an oversite to not engage in a couple of gatherings. I've only been to one ride and two wrench parties in the year I've had my Valk, and I learned more in those hours than all the months of riding and reading combined. Great group of folks!

A big "Howdy" to you, Sigrún. You have the only true Valkyrie muse name for your fat lady I've ever heard. Nice! RainMaker Where do I find enough blushing smileys to enter here?? Thank you RainMaker, your appreciation is heart-warming.... I just thought it would be the right thing to do. I was seriously considering Ölrún first, since her name would literally translate from old Norse as Ale Rune, who knew the secrets of brewing beer ( somehow that felt....hmm...... interesting  ) but then decided that Sigrún, the Victory Rune is definitely cooler Cheers!

Welcome Christbiker and Sigrún! IMHO there is no finer group of people anywhere than right here. Christbiker, don't let the distance play too large a role. I am North of you, and have been harrassing, uh, I mean associating and riding with this group for -- geez 8 or 9 years now? Can that possibly be?  Correct me if I'm wrong guys. I could be having a senior moment. Any way, welcome to both of you |

Hola compadres Thanks for the warm welcome to everyone! Been reading now intensively all over the forum and am quite convinced that there would not be a question unanswered here. Maintenance guides, generic parts, part numbers.... yeap, this looks like fun Now while I'm at it, let me try this video embedding feature.... the clip itself is not all that great, but works for a test and we all could use some musical therapy from a flat 6 every once in a while don't we
And my goodness, it works. What a wonderful way of posting video clips Cheers! Orvo |

You are correct - any question you have will be answered. Sometimes correctly. But always answered. If you have philosophical, theological or other non-motorcycle related questions, just post them to the general board and boy, will you get answers there!  Thanks for the video clip. RainMaker |
