Title: Sunday Ride
Post by: Bronxboy on March 22, 2015, 02:00:32 PM
Sat/Sun Ride !! :cooldude: Great 2 days of ridding. Met up with Billy Boy at Mac's and then Gil and Crystal rolled in behind me. We took the backroads up to Hess in Brooksville where we met up with Pappy & Lesa.

I got to hand it to Lesa, she rides that big Valk very well. We left Brooksville for a ride thru the woods up to Neon's for lunch. Always a Great meal at Neon's, stayed awhile kicking tires then headed back towards Hess where we split up and rode home.

Pappy was asking Crystal to smell his arm pits, but she wasn't having any of that.

Now Lesa was making sure it wasn't her that smelled.

You do??? Familiar? Hmmmm
Lesa has a lot of respect for the bike and the differences between it and the Vstar1100. She is still a bit apprehensive about low speed maneuvering. We have only gotten to go out and do the low speed stuff one time on it so far. She is riding it at her pace and comfort level and her confidence in herself on it is better each time so far.
Bronxy - my pits smell like roses! Crystal loved 'em! I was just trying some of that pheromone stuff Billy was talking about.......

By the way - Was Billy Boy trying to pat his head and rub his tummy at the same time in your next to last photo?

It truly does make my heart feel good to see someone else get to discover the joys of a Valkyrie on the old '97 just like I did!  :cooldude: :cooldude: :cooldude: 8) 8)

Here ya' go. Everything is in there and he is a good guy to deal with.
I got the waterproof rotary dimmer switch with the high beam override and the 44s I think with the flood pattern.
Rather see whats in the ditches about to come flying across the road in front of me rather than see a mile down the road.
Either set is way bright enough for oncoming cars to see.

Looks like a bird just pooped on his head and he had to smash it or is it splat it? :cooldude: :evil: :evil:

Got it  :cooldude: Does it come with mounting hardware, or is that separate?

 :cooldude: looks like they sell mounting hardware on their web site. Just got to get the right size for the front crash bars, and I should be good  :cooldude:
