I had a harley rider checking out my valk today and he liked it.He was asking all about it .About the power an the vibration .He asked me what year it was and I said an 02 with 130000 miles on it.he liked it and was impressed then I showed him the nickel trick with a dime.Then he was impressed to say the least.Not all harley riders ane jerks this guy was just a motorcycle rider.I was riding with two other bikers an both had Harleys an both are beautiful bikes.finally got out today for a short ride an the weather was fantastic for Oregon

That's because you ran into a rider, not a bar hopper. Most I know are nice that way!

Most of the HD riders around here such as my ridin' bud Jim are that way. Just good guys (and girls) who love ridin'. Matter of fact, it seems like more and more of the "ride all the time" riders around here are riding HD's. Most of the winter riders I've been seeing on my ride home from work have been on HD's or sportbikes. And this time of year, every rider I meet waves.  |

Yep... There's a difference between a Harley Rider and a Bike Rider that happens to ride a Harley. |

.......... ............Also! We are Americans riding American Made Motorcycles. If you ride a Valk, thank an American for building it here in America. If you ride a Harley, thank God I don't have to explain it for you, you get it. The rest well try to keep up. |

I did try to balance a penny but it didn't work so I asked him if he had a nickle all he had was a dime.Gave it a try an it worked good.I reved up to about 3000rpm an the dime did a full circle but did not fall.Great demo.He could not believe it.Gotta love the valk.

That's because you ran into a rider, not a bar hopper. Most I know are nice that way! Ditto!! was talking to a harley rider (07 Road King?) at Shady Valley the other day. I told him about the nickel trick but it was too windy to demonstrate. He said "I can't set my helmet on my seat and not have it vibrate off"! He kept talking about how big the Valkyrie is. |
