I rode my bike to La fitness,played racquetball,was tying the bag back onto the back of the bike.A guy getting out of his truck said "nice hog".Then he said oh,thats not a hog is it,i bet it could keep up with one though.I said just a minute....I started her up,revved it up with all six pipes growling.It makes me feel exhilarated when I do that.The guy said damn,that aint no hog,dont believe a hog could keep up with that bike.As he walked inside i felt sooo good.I revved it up like a teenager as i left the parking lot.

I have a few people who talk a lot of smack about my Valk, but when I start up, they change their minds real quick. Granted, I have the stock pipes, but he still sounds mean. Wall-E(the bike's name), is the fast black  . I do have a fellow worker that has the full dress Yamaha. He talks a lot, but I think he ran against another one on the road a while back. For some reason, he hasn't talked much about racing. Yeah, his is nice, but the Valkyrie is unique. I have been doing research on this bike for at least 4 years, trying to decide if this is what I wanted. I finally got the money up to buy my I/S, and haven't looked back.(except to see where everyone else is behind me  )This will be my last bike I own. I had an '83 V-65 Magna. I had her for 11 years. But I knew back then that I was going to upgrade. I still gas on it every now and again and still smile, knowing that I made the right decision. |

I've seen strangers hit their brakes, cross three lanes of traffic and almost cause complete urban mayhem to get a better look at the Valk while stopped at a gas station.  Soccer moms have approached me in the parking lot of the local HEB just to ask about the Valk.  Inattentive drivers have even stopped texting while driving to gawk at the Valk while traveling down the road. ??? FYI, the "new" nickels don't work. Found that out the hard way not long ago. Luckily, there was a good samaritan nearby who had the "old" style nickel in their pocket to keep me from looking like an idiot. |

They can't stand it. This is a true statement. BTW: If you haven't heard a rumor by 10am your supposed to start one. I have done my good deed for today. |

I rode my bike to La fitness,played racquetball,was tying the bag back onto the back of the bike.A guy getting out of his truck said "nice hog".Then he said oh,thats not a hog is it,i bet it could keep up with one though.I said just a minute....I started her up,revved it up with all six pipes growling.It makes me feel exhilarated when I do that.The guy said damn,that aint no hog,dont believe a hog could keep up with that bike.As he walked inside i felt sooo good.I revved it up like a teenager as i left the parking lot.
I was with Fast Eddie at Dukes, as we were leaving a chick said nice Harleys. Eddie is a Harley hater and told her these were Hondas. She said no way, her husband had a Harley and she knew them well. Then she asked what kind of Harleys they were. I told her they were Honda Valkyries and showed her my tank emblem....She asked why I would put that on a Harley..... Then she asked if they were softtails...... Eddie told her that they were “Wide-Rides” We then got the hell out of dodge in glorious Valkyrie fashion! You can’t fix stupid! |
