Well it was a great turn out !  We did get a lot of work done !  and a great deat of tire kicking and stories told   And Early Bird did not hit any thing, but did drive the rear axel in ! It was the best one in a long time ! I would like to thank all that showed up to make it the best so far. And to all that missed this one, We will have more !!  |

Thanks Hay,
Been ridin the DS everyday since the 'party' and I am starting to believe in it more and more. There is another dimension to riding Darkside. I was doing some swervys on a county road near home and there is a distinct transition from the flat to up on the rim. Just like everyone says "not bad, just different". Lyn-Del and Wizard have a great setup and I am looking for a way to get my hoist installed in my smaller shop. Allen and I were side by side in different lanes for a short on Hwy 288 and I definitely heard the 'syncopation' of the Valk Engines. Wow! I really love that sound/feeling.

The weekend after the wrench party, we had a part 2. One of our new members (JoeValk) needed some carb work. So we had a smaller party with more work than party. What started out as a carb clean up expanded ! Pulled the carbs and found a broken spring vacume caps cracked, but the carbs were surprisingly clean. New air filter and back together !  That done, Joevalk decides he would like to go Dark Side. I said no problem. I hade a take off from Hay hauler (Jimmy) that had a scraped sidewall but was still like new (about 500 miles). So we take the reat apart and do all the maint tire mounted and no problems. Hayhauler and Earlybird show up, so the party is on !  So it was another great weekend with freinds and another Valk running the way it should !  |
