I own a Valkyrie Trike and pick up a Valkyrie Bike Friday. My wife and friends question my infatuation with them. I found this video (great work by the way) and sent it to them. Maybe they will better understand me. Enjoy it. I know you will. You have probably seen it before. You will still enjoy it.

Love the video.  Thanks for sharing.  I bought my first Valk early July.  Before the month was over, I bought a second one.  They are awesome riding machines.  If I can just get over the intimidation of its size, I’ll be good to go!

Another one you'd like is the Fat Bottomed Girls song sung/played with multiple pics of our Valkyries, often taken at Inzane in the early days. I have it on my computer but don't know how to post it here.

the 1st utube video stretches the truth a tad I think stating 110 torque.  Last I knew was 96 or so.  Plus even in say 1997 says has more torque than any other stock production cycle, not sure even in 1997 that was correct either, but could be wrong there?

Not by a big margin actually. My 2-wheel bike('98 Tourer) wasn't totally stock, both the HP & torque busted 100 by a tad on the dyno at InZane in Paducah, KY some years ago...and the weather was super hot to boot. It only had aftermarket pipes, an I/S ICM with a 4 degree TW, I/S carb springs, stock jets & needles with a K&N filter sans the foam but it ran real good. The exhaust analyzer showed fairly well balanced throughout but did flatten out near the top of the rpm scale, probably due to the timing. She was like a talented pretty girl...looked good and could really "dance" when called upon. I'm going to miss her when she goes to her new home in a few weeks.  Smiley

There are days I walk out to my truck passing by both of my fat ladies and wish I was mounting up and taking them to the intended destination.   Happens a lot.   Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to pull a gooseneck with either one (yet).  Wink   

I do have an emotional attachment to both of my fat ladies.   Don't tell the wife.   Evil
