She ended up in the finals and they didn't start until 5 pm. I did get to talk to a fellow valkyrie rider in Granbury named John (Texas Horned Frog). He was doing some shopping at Home Depot just like me.  TJ |

Hay Jimmyt Methihks he was fixing something on the left side of the bike and was searching for cable ties. Why he did not put the bike on sidestand? Beats me, but seemed like showing off good style to me  ...... Cheers! Orvo |

Nice pics. Thanks for posting. Had a motor officer teaching me some of this stuff a couple of weekends back over in Ft Worth, but it takes a lot of practice and some drops to get really good at the tight stuff.
