 Absolutely excited; 4 of us leaving out on Friday the 9th from the Pan-handle of FL. Fingers crossed for no more of these Tropical depressions showing up like this week.  See you in Roanoke!

Absolutely getting stoked. Gave her a little shakedown last weekend with a run to Ohio Bike Week. Only about 100 miles each way. Oil and filter swap this weekend and ready. About a 450 mile trip for me to Inzane. Taking two days at so the trip down is enjoyable also.

Thanks for sharing, great perspective.
Wonder if there has ever been a 48 contiguous valkyrie Inzane. Or for that matter also including the lower seven Canadian provinces. Not sure about the 3 far north provinces of we have members there

This is pretty impressive!
However I'm at a local Corvette show today I think we have a couple hundred cars here. Most cars are corvettes but there are a lot more corvettes on the road then Valkyries!

I dunno about chairs, but I highly recommend good shoes for standing/shuffling around for hours.
Some of my bike boots are crippling after an hour of standing around in them.

If you got room, bring them. I bet you could rent them by the hour. |

I had great aspirations to go. I even had the blessing from "She who will be consulted". She even said I could use the tax refund to finance the trip. Then the tax refund became a tax-invoice (obviously I missed something) so the funding went *poof*. I will remind her about the blessing and try again next year!  Looking forward to the pictures. I've seen some in Facebook. Sean |

Been home for 1 week and ready to go again. 8,000 miles since leaving May 16th with Run For The Wall. Roanoke was great seeing, and making so many friends. Thanks to Dr K and Miss Cindy, I had a great ride on Saturday heading down from MI. Believe it or not I ran into Hot Glue and her husband "What's his name" LOL at a gas stop in Mississippi. Not unusual except is was on Sunday, 3 days after the event. Had lunch in Dallas with Disco Dave (great place) and finished the last two days in 110 plus temps. I love my Valk and would live on the road if it weren't for one pesky thing! No it's not her, it's the $$$$$. Maybe one day,
