I know that you can down load this manual for free, I don’t know the web address, but, why buy it from someone in Greece??

since he is offering a product for a price is it still a scam? or just simply a rip off?

Anyone have a link for the Valk Manual?


http://www.valkyrienorway.com/download.html

It's 151 Meg, so be prepared to sit a few minutes.

I, for one, would pay $5.00 for a manual, PROFESSIONALLY scanned, with precise, clear pictures, all the PDF indexing tricks, etc. Not sure if the auction is that way, but after downloading this one, I immediately bought two Honda manuals. One for the shop, and one just for reference.

Just my $.02 worth...

Thanks!!!  cooldude

You're welcome - reading back over, I hope it wasn't misconstrued, that I had a problem with the downloadable one linked here - it's a great service, and very much appreciated. The emphasis on professional, was in regards to the auction one. This one, just made me realize I wouldn't be happy without my own manual. I'm a "show-me" kinda guy - I like the pictures, and can figure out a lot more from pics, than text, and the pics in the downloaded one, just didn't cut it, for me. I would just hope, that the auction one, for money, wasn't just someone taking THIS one, and selling it - I do have a 3rd manual, a very good, professionally done "copy" of the original, and the pics aren't quite as good as the original manual. I think it set me back $30 or so. It's the manual that goes on the bike, on any trips. Three manuals seem about the right number, for me - just like my women - one dirty, one easy, and one pristine... Grin

Yeah, me too.

I agree the pictures on the downloaded one lacks clarity.

But being the cheap bohemain I am I'm glad I got this one for the cost.
