I guess I've been lucky that I've never seen an 18 wheeler when I was there. Anyway at the end of the video, anybody know who is on the Valk doing a wheelie? Anyone here?

Some thought they knew, but the Interstate doing the wheelie has pod lights and the "suspect" had none. {edit} this is the thread where people were guessing who it could be.... http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,37529.0.html {/edit} Hay  Jimmyt |

I was wondering if the "suspect" lived in Clinton. Heard some wild things about that man!  Of all the bikes it was great to see one of the few remaining Valkyries pulling that wheelie!!  |

You guys must be getting bad reception. It can't be a Valkyrie. I've been told MANY time that a Valkyrie can't do a wheelie.  |

I've know a Valkyrie would do a wheelie before I even got mine. I've never done a wheelie on any motorcycle, but I have no doubt my Valkyrie could do one if a rider asked it to. I've even see youtube video of a Harley bagger doing wheelies. But I have had a couple of squids tell me there was "no way" that bike could ever get the front wheel off the ground. Now, lets see some video of somebody doing a "stoppie" on a Valk.  |
