My trip there on the Valk back in 2003:  And my detour on the family vacation back in 2010 in the car. (Hey, mighta been in a car, but I didn't hold up any bikes, in fact, I caught up to a group of bikes and THEY held ME back, and I made my mother in law throw up in the back seat from my aggressive driving through the Dragon...  )  |

, and I made my mother in law throw up in the back seat from my aggressive driving through the Dragon... ) excellent!! i made my mother-in-law sick many many times, but it wasn't from my driving!!  her and my sister-in-law were talking one day, and she mentioned how she likes to "spoon" with her husband in bed. i said that her daughter and i just like to "fork"  that one got her good!! |

OK guys, the pics are cool, but the story will make you jealous..... Vacation time - our 25th anniversary (Aug, 2007) we spent a week in a cabin in the Smokies  And, if that ain't cool enough, this was my anniversary gift from her.... the "other" 6  I think my wife's a keeper!! |

WOW!! tell me more about this cycle!! looks a lot like my old Yamaha-ha-ha-ha!!! that straight six must have some super big ca-hone-ahs!! 1981 CBX, got it with only 6900 miles on it. Now has close to 18,000 including a 5-day 2300 mile solo roadtrip - back to the Smokies again! This pic doesn't do justice - we got caught in a thunderstorm in Maggie Valley the day before and it was filthy. It really shines when washed. Major league fun to ride - about the same hp/tq numbers as the Valk, but vastly different character. 9500 rpm redline, even with stock exhaust it sounds like a pissed off F1 car when you wind it tight! |

Those Illinois plates on Turnboy's ride? Plus it appears to be the very rare Black & Pearl Biege color combo!
