Actually it's not so much on the block but,,,, out in the woods.  Thank god. I finally retired, closed my biz. left the rat race that IS,,, Pinellas county, (Largo) n' relocated to Yankeetown. Just found a Real nice Valk n' put a deposit on it. Pick it up in a few weeks.  Selling my 00 ZX12R to my son n' needed a sit up type bike, with some power, hence the valk. For those who don't know,, this,,(link below) is Yankeetown. Looks like 1950's to me, n' loved it on first sight. http://bigdaddydavesbitsandpieces.blogspot.com/2012/04/cruising-back-roads-of-florida.htmlAnyway now that I'm here,,, have plenty of time to ride. Looking forward to meeting ya'll n' doing just that. Jim |

Jim, first...welcome aboard. We have some fine folk here in Florida and have a good time when together. You also have a Valk riding neighbor in Inglis....Rick and Kristie.
Nice looking bike, really like the Corbin bags and paint scheme they have.

Hey Jim I see you found the board. Hope to meet you and shake your paw soon at one of the lunch meets. We are 20 miles North of Gainesville so don't do much traveling too far South, but we do have lunch rides up our way occasionally. Getting to be good riding weather now so you are getting your bike at a good time. Rick and Christie live pretty close to you. His handle is Flask. Darned good mechanic too if you have questions. He just resurrected a neglected Valkyrie.

Hey, always room for more valks ... and their riders. We won't be able to attend Jerry & Sherry's shindig in Zephyrhills, but you should definitely go. These Valk riders are the nicest folks and are always happy to help with bike repairs and modifications. We have single riders and couples so everyone feels included. Welcome to the party!

Welcome to the jungle! Pinellas County native myself stuck up in the frozen tundra of Marion County! Beautiful area, lots of roads with absolutely horrid winter weather.  We will definitely see you on the road at a Q sometime. Congrats on the last bike you will ever need!   This pic is out in your neck of the woods! |
