I know what you mean about the name of your ride.
My 98 Rat Rod Valk: BAD ATTITUDE
My 2K Interstate: ANGER MANAGEMENT
Isn't funny the way we ride when the weather changes or who's in front of you?

Had her(why they always be the female of the species?) over a year and i still think of her as phat ghurl.  Those late night high speed conversations be the best.  She must like me a little-she hasn't spit me off-yet.  I've posted once or twice about these machines that have taken over our lives. Heres a mucho scary thought-what if we had NEVER found one another.  That my friend sends the wrong kind of cold chills down this old mans spine.  Glad-really glad i belong to this small group of Valkyrie Owners.  Myself-wouldn't have it any other way.  Thanks Daniel. RIDE SAFE. |

 Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. |

Great read Daniel! Often when riding, I am "one" with my motorized companion. Those times when she talks back to me are magical. The times that she becomes angry with me, it is time to listen, because what she is saying is important, and it behooves me to pay attention, if for no other reason than my own safety. I get it! Thanks. |

Some think I'm nutz, with good reason. Without my Valks I know I would be dead. All have changed my life and brought the most fantastic people into to it ! (and you know who you are, and some know why). Yes, both my Valks have named themselves.  |

Daniel, You know that you are an evil man  , your write ups always make me want to go for a short ride to the southern hemisphere everytime I read them. Thanks for the stories, and yes I am getting your books, just in case your wondering, I asked Momma that I get them for my B-day. Hope to see you on the Road someday..  Yuri |

Nice read - makes me want to go back and read one of your books again. They are all dog-eared from being read and reread.
I haven't named my Valk - the name hasn't come to me yet. My wife calls it my "mistress". My mom calls it "that damn motorcycle". But it remains unnamed.
I did name the GPS. It's called "Goose".
