My fat-girl is back from the shop after having her rear plastic and chrome parts fixed. For those of you that don't know, I had a little mishap on the way to IZXI this year up in Cheyenne WY. I was rear ended by a Valk but both bikes were mechanically sound. So guess what, we rode them 3200 miles to IZXI and back home. Thank God noone was hurt either. I had to paint most of the "tins" so I decided to do something a little "different". Scott hooked my up with a guy that had custom painted his IS. He sent me some pictures and I really liked it. I used the same color that he did, but changed up the stripes a bit. Here is my bike with the Mustang racing stripes. I really like it and I hope you do too. First, my favorite pic.  Then on to the others.   This is what the stable looks like now...they barely fit...   Hay  Jimmyt |

Life is good in Pearland!
I'm really happy you have your Valkyrie back. She looks great!
Gotta love that blue and chrome. The stripes make it yours.

Beautiful. It will run faster too (since it's blue).

VERY nice. I like. Despite the fact that it was my favorite color combo before, I like it a LOT now.
Random Q: What's that in the garage next to the Wing?

I don't know, but someone with some photoshop skills could probably show you. BTW, the stripes look white, but are really light silver in color. So they reflect the light. Hay Jimmyt |

Ahem! Houdini Great to share wind with you and your beautiful daughter. Thanks for slowing down enough so that my old slow blue Valk could stay up with your fast Black Valk on the ride to Hico.  RainMaker No need to discourage him Vic, the Internet never forgets. |

The first line was not sarcastic. It was a nice ride. |
