Al do you still have a Valkyrie ? Are you riding on this benefit  ride ? Reason I ask I was thinking you had a Wing or full dressed Harley and stated awhile back that you was going to hang up riding    Did'nt you have a crash ? ( If so was it on the Valkyrie ? )  I might have you confused with someone else    Very good cause to benefit the Armed Forces Foundation

Well Joe, you're partially correct. I crashed my Valk in May 2006.
I broke my left arm, right wrist, mangled my right hand and right foot. + Other minor abrasions.
Because I was going to have to have several corrective surgeries, I sold my Valk to Goody and he triked it.
It took me over 4 years to heal enough that I felt capable of riding but I still haven't bought a new bike.
My next bike won't be a Valk but I will get something after I retire.
I was thinking of renting a bike for this ride but that's not going to happen.
