Barnstormer and a friend were heading home from Laconia and stopped at Naults for a litttle window shopping. Naults had a few (new) Valks on the show room floor. When the salesman looked out the window and saw the three Valks he made an off the cuff remark "why would anyone want to trade one of them in for one of these (pointing at the new Valks)?" I guess that says it all. We would be foolish to trade them in at a dealer because the dealers do not understand/appreciate what these bikes mean to Valk owners.
We would not be able to get the comfort, smoothness, power and elegance in any other bikes. Yeh, they are getting a little old (like us all) and parts are getting difficult to find but I think putting in a little effort to keep our bikes going are worth it in the long run.
How many prior Valk owners have regretted getting rid of their Valk and settling for some other bike, just because the Valk had a 100K on the odometer. I won't sell mine but I have promised it to my grandson when he graduates in 4 years and it will have over 100K on it when he gets it but he says it doesn't matter.
