I just got something in the mail from the American Motorcyclist Association, an offer to purchase Christmas, sorry, I meant "Holiday" cards. One of the choices shows Santa riding a black Standard. You might be able to see the cards on the AMA website.

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.

I ordered cards from the AMA this year and I don't recall a Santa on a Black Valkyrie. I vaguely recall a red/white, think it was a Harley with Santa on it. Now you are going to make me go look see. |

I went to the Christmas card site for AMA and there is NO Valkyrie in there. Sorry. Didn't even see Santa on a Black bike, he was on a Green and a couple fo red ones.
Santa is in 3 pictures or cards and all are Harley's Big Boy's except the one called 'The Wave' and it looks like a Sportster.
However, if you can find a Santa on a Black Valkyrie, please post the link. Thanks.

Those rat finks. I called and talked to them this year about whether they had any cards with a Valkyrie on it.
Answer was NOPE. Guess who is going to get a call tomorrow, you got it as I have her name and direct #.
I've been after them for 3 or 4 years to use a Valkyrie. Told them it would increase sales of cards.

And FWIW, you'll cause fewer ruffled feathers if you DO call them Christmas cards than if you refer to them as holiday cards. The holiday wouldn't exist if the original "event" hadn't taken place.

Wait a minute. We have our own real Santa that rides a Valkyrie. Maybe we should encourage him to make a Christmas Card. He's a good man and can ride his Valk. We could help one of our own or at least his favorite charity.

I do ride a Black Valk. I have already started my visits last week and will be leaving at 6 am to go east of Nashville Tn. to a school. Have a new suit this year. Last year had 7500 kids on my knee and wore out the suit. My wife does a fantastic job making my suits, gold braid and all the fur. Sorry I'm not a computer savy guy so can't post pictures, but if there is a way I can help I'm ready.
