Welcome K7TKA!
I'm also new to Valkyrie ownership. Just picked up a '98 Tourer and am enjoying the heck out of riding. (Better than my old '82 750 Magna)
I'm down in South Snohomish and would be happy to get together sometime even if I don't (gasp!) drink coffee.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Kendall
P.S. My father was W7QJC/WB6YQB and one of my brothers is KO7M.
