Doc, you should pick this one up so that you have a spare.  Those are pretty rare beasts!

There's a guy that lives down the street from me that has a pumpkin colored valk with champion hard bags painted to match the rest of the bike. I bet he doesn't have more than 3K miles on the bike. I don't know why people buy valkyrie's and just let them sit.

1) They just wanted a new toy (see "boat" for further explanation)
2) They had an accident and got scared to ride.
3) They had kids and are scared to ride.
4) Their wife told them not to ride.
5) They got a newer toy to play with.
6)  fill in the blank

The sad news is that this happens.  The good news is that when we wear our Valks out, there will be practically new ones available for us to buy and replace ours with.

I also know a gentleman who has a 98 Standard here in Beaumont. It has been parked in his garage for at least 8-9 years and he does not ride it any more. According to his wife the bike has maybe 5k miles on it. They can't even remember the last time it was started, tried to pry it away from them, but she said not right now because they don't know what it's worth. I intend to keep trying.

RM, I would be all over that bike but tuition this semester is more than the price of that bike.  Hate when that happens!
