DM, there are multiple ways to stir up a hornet's nest on the forum
1) Declare your color is the fastest (fyi, the Valks with
blue are the fastest since they
blew right past all the others)
2) Go Darkside or tell everyone why they are nuts to go Darkside
3) Declare your choice of oil superior to everyone else's choice
4) Declare a Standard or Tourer superior to Interstates (everyone knows Interstates are the premier version of the Valkyrie).
And there are others - I just can't think of them right now.
There appears to be some truth that the '97 Valks are the fastest, regardless of color (with the noted exception of
blue Valks)
The black/teal Valks are known as having very fastidious, caring owners who clean their bikes almost as much as they ride them.
Houdini has almost everything else right, except for that mistake he keeps making about the black valks being fastest.
All Valks will go faster than you want to ride, by the way.
As for this chapter, Texas seems to be the most active and we get a lot of visits from Valk owners from other states. If you attend rides like the Gathering of the Fools, the Tucumcari BBQ, Inzane, etc, you will find Valks from all over the continent at that event. There is also an Inzane in Europe and a strong group of riders there.
So, be proud of owning a unique and wonderful motorcycle. Even if it isn't the fastest or best looking.
