I had a weird thing happen recently. My old friend that used to ride with me contacted me and told me about a women and man that he knows that asked him out of the blue,"know anyone looking for a Valkyrie"? The lady told him that her husband had about 25 or so Valks in a warehouse. He had bought them all with very low mileage and just stored them. My friend told him that I had just bought one and that I may be interested in another. Well, long story short, the man has about 7 not sold yet. they are 1999 and up. I am going to go check them out to see what he has. He supposedly has a lot of parts as well, so I thought I'd see what they were too. Can you believe this? I hope to get in touch with him this week and maybe I can go look see what is still for sale. This sounds crazy, but I got to go check it out. I'll post my findings.

Wow...that's better than one of those old barn finds you hear about...loaded with classic and exotic cars. That would be so cool if he had a semi load of Hondaline parts he'd be willing to part with.

Seems easy enough to find an Interstate if you want one. Some on here and a few in eBay too. Most are going for less than I'd let mine go for too.

Heard similar stories before about all kinds of collectable cars. Sometimes they actually exist, most of the time they don't. Hopefully, this is one of the real barn finds. Would love to see pics.

I talked with my bud again last night. We are going to see them this week. The story is changing slightly, but still sounds good so far. Apparently his wife exaggerated a little, instead of about 25 bikes, he only has about 9 bikes. But, they are suppose to be low mileage bikes. the parts he has is a little unclear, but I will definitely get that cleared up when I go see them this week. I will take a camera and notes just in case there really are a bunch of nice bikes there. I can't afford another one, but I am all excited about the possibility of finding some nice Valkyries in a storage house. I'll post once I get back from this adventure.
