So. If we swapped the rear fenders and the 'twinkie, blinkie' turn-signals, would you still hate it???   I STILL wanta ride the new F6C  She looks like she could be the leader of a BRAT PACK!!!  Oh. And by the way. The conical pod design looks like it was borrowed from the Vikings. . . which makes them look rather appropriate, don't you think  |

I'm thinking that when Tom acquires one of the new Valkyries, he's likely to paint the anterior-most portion of the conical pods his favorite color of mammalian protuberances.  Or install auxiliary blinkers there!  Except for the foot-forward riding position, I like the V-Rod and there is at least one model whose riding position is more upright. I believe it's stupid for HD not to incorporate its engine, or derivatives thereof, into the rest of its product line. No doubt the new Valkyrie will be a runner and a rider, but I'm reserving final judgement on it until I see how the subjects of fairing and hard saddlebags are addressed. |

I was told by a die-hard HD rider that the V-Rod isn't really a HD due to the water-cooling, none of that twentieth century technology for the hard-core Harley rider. |

His world must have begun to crumble around him when the 2014 HD lineup came out. Two of the models are water cooled. I'll bet more are on the way. |

Speaking of 2014 line-ups, I couldn't resist... I have stuck my wonderful Valks in the garage in front of my new HR Signature F6B! Trying to get the Cobras to sound right, but I think that I am going to have to settle for 'just ok' sound. Otherwise just what the Doctor ordered. I really like it. It is a real long hauler, very comfortable. We went to Russelville AR. to Honda of Russellville two up on Dian's new CVO Softail Custom and i just couldn't be outdone, I guess. This engine is the bomb. Everything we already have + more. I wont get rid of Valkyrie number 1, however, I do have a second valk, a work in progress, that will have to go. Sometimes I am reminded how truely blessed we are. Blotar  |

FAR OUT DUDE!  That's a color I haven't seen.  How'd it go without highway pegs to stretch the legs out?  I like a little 'flex' room when I ride. AND, what windshield are you running? Looks familiar ??? |
