 OK, here is the deal. I went to see this guy that has the Valks. Winds up, he has ten Valkyrie's in this huge shop building. He has some of these bikes for sale on ebay now. I started every bike and listened to it run, and they all cranked right up and ran and sounded good. All of the bikes, except one looked very good. the one had been dropped and had a busted hard bag on the left side, and a rash on the bag guard rail. but other than that, I'd say a 7.5 out of ten rating. He also has parts scattered everywhere. I say everything from, tanks to swing arm, to engines, pipes, hard bags, trunk, fairing, carbs, levers, covers, and lots of other stuff. This gentleman buys Valks, and if they need something he puts it on and then plans on selling the bike. It looks like he has scavenged some parts as well. I also saw a frame. I saw a black tourer that had 4,000 miles on it. Mileage ran from the 4K to 86K, but only one bike had that kind of mileage. Most were in the 15K to 22K range. I have about 25 pictures to post of what I saw. I was like a kid in a candy store and didn't know what picture to take next. Now, I am perplexed somewhat. I posted pictures on here before, but now, I can't seem to get my pictures to load into photostash. I get an error saying," invalid file". Soon as I get this figured out again, I will post all the pictures for you. Crap, this sucks, sorry.......

Don't use Photostash, get a photobucket account and up load them there. Much easier.

After you up load to photobucket, click on the direct Link box below the photo, the text in the box will briefly change to "copied". then go to your post and click on the insert photo buttom (first button on the second row of the post messgae window. After clicking the insert photo button the following will appear (but all on one line) [ ] img][/img click between the the two inner square brackets ][ and paste the link to your photo  It should look like this (but all on one line, I had to post it this way so you could see the link) [ ] img]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll214/thornhoods/DSC00181.jpg[/img |
