Welcome to the board. Send a pic of the "Wing"
Well, I always take lots of pictures of my toys.
In this link you will see my 75-78 vintage Gold Wings of years past.

From there they shipped together to Puerto Rico, where they now live.
The following summer (2008), I rode the '75 Red one on a 10-week-Solo-Trek throughout the USA.
Logged 9K miles. Traveled a lot at night... average speeds 106 mph for hours on end! NO

IN SUMMARY: To me, a Valkyrie is a naked Gold Wing on Steroids!

Thinking 'bout doing my 12th cross-country trek this summer...
This time, it'll be the Valkyrie for eight weeks... Sleepin' bags at rest stops.
Cheap motels every other day. Crash at friends' homes along the way... ???
Shower at truck stops.... 4th of July at New York's Central Park; a superb blast!

Face the wind across the USA... "been there done that" 11 times... and it is a heck of an adventure
for a shrimpy 5'6" old Dude. A 235 pound-sack of Cuban Food!

Glad to be... somewhere... alive!
