Got a new to me VALK so I found this board searching around. May have plenty of questions later on. For now lots of reading has got alot of my questions answered already. Haven't had a bike in 9 years. The wife liked this one, so...........98 Standard, 41,000 miles and lots of aftermarket chrome.  |

Mid North Carolina. Handles very nice on the road. Still having a little trouble with very low speed turns in parking lots. Heavest bike I have ever owned. I'll get use to it. |

Welcome to the Valk World.....You wouldn't happen to be close to Lexington, NC would you?....I just saw a food channel special about their annual BBQ festival....looks like It's about 250ish miles from me...a good lunch run distance.... |

Welcome aboard. Your first ride took ya just a few miles from my house. And oddly enough im working this week probably near you. Working for the town of Denton. If ya decide to come up toward the mountains again drop me a email or message on here and I will dust off my bike and we can put some miles under us |

Congrats and welcome aboard. And very nice looking bike. Are you still grinning? Been riding one for almost 4 years and can't seem to wipe the grin off as if I'd want to anyway. |

What kinda bike is that?
Take offs and landings are kind of wierd at first but you'll get used to it.
Pay particular attentention to the throttle stop. See when you find it.
I took me a year.

If ya decide to come up toward the mountains again drop me a email or message on here and I will dust off my bike and we can put some miles under us Not far from Denton. Next time I'm up that way, I'll drop you a line. I usually get to Sparta a few times a year for groundhog hunting. Now that I have this bike, I'll probably come more often. |

Welcome aboard Valkc and bigguy... If you haven't noticed we are all like family. We get along but we also poke fun at each other. It's all about the love my friend. Anyhow... Not sure if you seen it or not but this will be the tenth year that the VRCC has organized a "get together" it is located up in Michigan and well their will be more than 300 of us up there in July. Here are the details: http://www.valkyrieriders.com/inzane/I hope you guys can make it. Some have sold their bikes but still make it to these events just because of the people. I went to my first one last year and it had me thirsty for another just 2 miles on the bike leaving the event. Anyhow... Bike looks good second best part is doing your own maintenance on them. Take care and enjoy the weekend. C'ya around I hope. Joe "stude31" Studebaker |

40 THOUSAND MILES?... Isn't that a lot of Miles?
You're GONNA hear that.
Not for this bike.
The other day a Harley rider at work asked me how many miles
I had on my Valk [97 red & white]
103,000
He looked at me and said: "And no rebuilds?"
Not "rebuild" it was "rebuilds"
I said: "Well I changed the air filter a couple times."
In another 200,000 or so you might want to start planning for one.

Mid North Carolina. Handles very nice on the road. Still having a little trouble with very low speed turns in parking lots. Heavest bike I have ever owned. I'll get use to it. Welcome, great looking Valkyrie. Try "feathering" your rear brake on your slow turns. Helped me, I gots short legs.  |
