Well after several months of debate with myself, I have decided to sell my 1999 Tourer. Right now I have too many things going on in my life that don’t allow me to get the ride time in, in order to stay proficient. And without that it could be deadly one day.
I am not quitting the club or giving up on the Valk, just going to take a few years off from riding and do some other hobbies that will let Paula and the boys join in at the same time, sailing. I recently became the new owner of the 22’ sailboat that my parents have owned since 1979, and now I am going to teach my family how to sail and all the enjoyment that it can offer. Some of my fondest memories are of spending the holidays out on Lake Texoma on the islands with the Venture Sailing Club of Dallas.
Paula and I decided once the boys are gone, at least out of high school, 6years, we will both go get new bikes and pick up where we left off. Paula has been without a bike for several years and is longing to get her own bike again, but with the boys growing like they are, she wants to wait until they are gone, legally, and then start riding again.
Every day I tell aircraft owners “That if you are not going to fly it. Then sell it!” The maintenance on a mechanical device is more on one that sits than one that gets used on a regular basis. I have made one 200 mile ride on the bike in the past 18 months, and that is not good. I have it here at my shop at the airport, and I don’t even have time to ride it around here. So for now the Valk must go, but when I am ready to ride again, I will be looking for an Interstate, unless Honda comes out with a new version of the Valk.
So with this being said, I am posting here first, that my Valk is for sale for $8500.00. I have a custom blue flame paint job, custom Carman Allen leather seats, Interstate gas tank, 150 watt stereo system, cruise control, CB hookup, trailer hitch, remote control blue LED lights all over the bike, new windshield, GIVI removable trunk with brake lights and luggage rack, forward controls for riders over about 6’3”, Mark T’s Mild to Wild exhaust system, with removable trombones and silencers, new Wolo air horn, All the chrome in every space allowed, Baker air wings, lower air deflectors on the forks, Cobra front floor boards, forward hwy pegs, LaMonster pull back risers, and much more. I currently have this bike insured with $15,000.00 worth of additional coverage to insure the accessories. That was only possible by meeting with an insurance person and verifying all the accessories on the bike and documenting it all. I also will sell a motorcycle jack, and the full MC cover and the bikini cover for the bike. I have about $500-$1000 worth of extra parts and accessories that will go with this bike.
This bike was a California bike, and now it has been de-smogged, and is a darkside bike with a GY Triple tread tire and an Avon Cobra on the front. The mileage on the bike is 51701.1. If you have any questions please email me at Charlesairo@ (remove this)sbcglobal.net, of call me at 214-893-9171.
