Hi folks;
There is a special on Turkey sandwiches out of my garage. The turkey is free, the buns are $10 each...
You may not bring your own buns!  2funny

As you might know I've made a deal over the Halloween week. I traded my Sports Car for a 2002 VTX1800R.  Cheesy

It sleeps next to the Valk; and in front of the Old '77 Wing... all three in my garage.  coolsmiley

As you might expect, with this new deal I've regressed some more. I went from 8 to 4 years old in a flash!  Roll Eyes

So, I've been riding the VTX for the last month... gettin' used to it. It is truly a beautiful machine to look at. Whatever.  Cool

Well yesterday, I decided to take "She Dragon" out of "hiatus" and went on a 50-mile ride to blow her out... and WOW!  tickedoff Kiss

SUMMARY: VTX owners out there, please do not take offense. No VTX will ever behave as Grand as a Valkyrie.
There is no machine out there that I'd rather own. Trying comparisons on her is non sense; really.  Lips Sealed
Now, I am parking the VTX out on the street just to show off. However, riding the Valk restores my sense of well being.  angel

Interestingly, I enjoy riding my Vintage Gold Wing as much as I do the Valkyrie.  ???

Yes... am keepin' the beautiful VTX. It is a superb ride, indeed, but a Valkyrie is not...  Undecided

Parting with the VTX would not be as traumatic as if it was the Valk or even the 490 Lbs Wing w/-14K miles).  cooldude

Season's Greetings to all!

Could you please post a picture of the $10 buns? Not sure I've ever seen any that are worth that much...
