As some of this family know, my wife and I welcomed our first grandson (Rowdy) into this world last fall. As one might expect, we spend a significant amount of time traveling to and from Millington, TN to visit and help baby sit. It's a long 6 hour drive there.
A couple of weeks ago Rowdy's Grandmother and I went up to help out, she was going to stay a few weeks but I had business in Southern MS to take care of so, I trailered my Valk Trike there and rode it home. Two weeks passed and I got on the "Rat" bike and ride north. The plan is to trailer the "Rat" back home.
Anyway, on the way home, we stopped for fuel and to check a trailer tire. While airing up that tire, two mid-twenty young men approached and wanted to know what that bike on the trailer was. We had a long conversation talking about Valkyries. They were both shocked when I told them the "Rat" was older than they were.
Both asked how much I wanted for the "Rat", told them it wasn't for sale but, told them where they might find some for sale. One of these young men asked me if I would trade the "Rat" for his Mustang, told him thanks but no thanks. The "Rat" bike has come a long way since I pulled her out of that field in Arkansas. She'll never be a show bike but, it just goes to show ya how such a sexy, well designed bike can and does still get folk's attention.
Anyway, thought I'd share that story, it still makes me smile.
