I am in St. Peters, MO... would also love some Valk company! Keep me in the loop for any MO rides!
St. Louis metro area has an all-brand MC - Shadow Riders of St. Louis (NOT affiliated with Honda Shadows, though they are welcome) which has a Sunday 120 miles plus ride every Sunday from April through October and also does several long trips a year. We are doing a 3-day weekender from St. Louis to Land Between the Lakes KY this weekend Fri, Sat and Sun.
Several Wings in the club, but I have the only Valk so far!

I'm fairly new to the board and always looking to meet up with someone to ride with. Drop me a line sometime.

Not wanting to steal scooty's post...but there are several riders in the St. Louis area. Unfortunately, we don't get together enough. I am in the beginning stages of planning a wrench party...check the forum for details.

I often think the same thing. I'm up north of Liberty Mo. I see Valk's on I-35 regularly but some how getting a small bunch of us together for a ride seems difficult. We have about 12 coworkers with bikes. Most of them are Harleys, but I don't hold that against'em. We get together every few weeks and ride a couple hundred miles on the 2 lane. But sure would be nice to get some other Valk riders together. Mines kinda bright and stands out so if ya see me flag me down.  Also I still run into people who say they never heard of the VRCC, what's up with that?

I hooked up with the local chapter of Freedom Of the Road Riders. They do an Eat & Ride every Tuesday night here in Maryville. Of course a lot of the rides end up in Iowa, due to our location. Last night we did a 55 mile ride to Shenendoah, IA for dinner at a little diner and micro-brewery.
It at least gives me a weekly ride with folks fix. Great bunch with no attitudes and a variety of brands. Most are HD, but there are also lots of Yamahas and Hondas. I've got the only Valk in the group.
It isn't the same as an all Valk ride, but it might be something to look into.
