I had it on eBay, but sold it to a work colleague. I took $4500 for it.  It is what it IS I guess. Glad to be back to only 2 Valks. Jabba |

I did OK.
I am up $323.00 Plus I have a Hondaline windshield and hardware, a set of Baker Air Wings, chrome oil filler, dipstick, fork end covers, cam end covers, a little T-Bag and helped out 2 fellow Valkers with some cheap parts for THEIR bikes in the process.
Overall I am pleased. I am still disappointed to have to have let it go for less than $5K.
But me, like everyone else, thinks my stuff is worth more than it is.

There are few things that you can enjoy as much as a Valk for the money invested. Even if you lost some on the cost, you're still way ahead on the pleasure of ownership.  |

What do they cost to ship? Next time, I'll ship it to you. You sell it, and we'll split the profit. Jabba |

I know full well that STD in this context is Standard, but every time I see this thread go by on the listing, I hafta stop and wonder how you managed to convince someone to pay you to give them a Sexually Transmitted Disease...
It's a very interesting place in my head, I'll admit...

Hey Serk, just so you'll not think you're all alone, my mind went to the same place when I saw the STD. |
