For the past several years I've been dreaming with the idea of getting back on a MC at the age of 64. Started looking at bikes not knowing what I wanted, decided I didn't want a HD like everyone else but didn't know what. Then I saw my first Valkyrie. Fell for it at first site and started researching the internet for everything I could find about this machine. Thats when I stumbled upon the VRCC. Well about 2 months ago I bought my first Valkyrie. It was listed on the classifieds here and found the owner lived in my home town. Took the MSF course and been riding every chance I get. Been reading everything here but this is my first post. Love the site and thanks for all the information I've found here.

I had a Harley at the time, but the rest of my story goes just like yours:
I saw my first Valkyrie. Fell for it at first site and started researching the internet for everything I could find about this machine. Thats when I stumbled upon the VRCC.

As a new member, if you don't know how to already, you're gonna have to learn how to upload pics. As Valk owners, besides riding them, there's nothing more we like better than to look at someone else's new pride and joy. Smokin' Joe calls it the money shot. Now get busy  ......and welcome to the addiction. |
