...a 99 Valk for a friend tomorrow. This bike:  If it checks out he's gonna buy it. He's got a VN900 now but the power of Valk compels him (riding with two of them in the "group" is bound to do that to ya). I told him that he needs to prepare for assimilation into the cult. "One of us, one of us..."

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent. But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent. Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep. In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.
1997 Valk Standard, Red and White.

If he buys the Valk, you better teach him the "secret password".

Maybe I can steal his hard bags while he's memorizing it.

The Hwy pegs need moved..... they will drag badly where they are. A DOT half helmet will not fit in national cycle bags (maybe an XS). One of my favorite colors though.

That's one of the first things I saw, those cursed pegs are a menace like that. Are those NC bags? I may have to look into those for mine.
