Went for a ride this afternoon (Boyne City MI., Indian River, Cheboygan, Machinac City, Petoskey and home). I stopped for gas in Cheboygan and a guy in a pickup pulled up next to me for gas and commented on the Valk (97, bumble bee). He said he had a 99 black/red interstate. We talked for while and another guy pulls up on the other side and said to me "nice bike", I said thank you and went and paid for my gas. when I came out he was still there and said "I'll trade you even for my ford explorer - right now. Now you know I couldn't do that --- explorers are a dime a dozen, Valks are priceless
