Just saying hello.
After 7 years and 70,000 miles on a Honda shadow ace 750, I got sick and tired of being under powered. so I traded up, all the way up! About 6 weeks ago I purchased a 1999 Val with only 16,000 miles on it. She now has 21,500. Even with the new E3's I'm looking for a good deal on a front tire. (Avon)
I plan to stop by Gators to meet some of the other VRCC members soon. But if it's a sunny Saturday, I'll be on one of the MT passes, looking to log another 50 miles.
It's all about the twisty's!

Thanks' all! love my new Cadilla.. I mean Valkyrie.  Had A week off right after I got her. Went down the coast into Oregon, then inland and back up the East side of Washington and home. Been riding all my usual MT, passes as well. Even with my stock seat you can sure get allot of miles in with comfort. |

It's not the miles as much as the number on corners! |
