My friend Mike who at 48 had a heart transplant is not ready to own another 1500 Valk as the side issue from this was the damage the tubes put in his leg did when he was in an induced coma for six weeks. He is going to pick up a smaller ride soon and the Magna looks like a great option. I say that to say this: Yesterday I took him to 4 dealers, moreover to just sit on bikes. St Pete and ending up in Lakeland. I am astonished at the huge inventory of used bikes at all these places. We see so many 1500s for sale on CL, however, look at Shadows, Magnas, Vulcans and on and on. Good time to buy not sell! Mikes leg will get better, maybe not 100% but his goal is another Big Bike later. Smart to move back in slowly. In Lakeland was a nice IS in the Black Champagne Color in the used lot. I like that color combo.
Yes sometimes these bikes go to be parted - maybe at least they go to save many that are being loved.
