how many miles on that red/black VAlk?  guess not many....

is a crying shame to let it sit there and collect dust in a museum when it can collect dust in my stead of cycles....   :2funny:

Looks just like my old Interstate.  I loved that bike, but I only had time for one.



If global warming is happening...why is it so cold up here?

That bike was Bark2 bike from Topeka, Ks.  I helped him get it home . The guy that had it before Jerry only put 4500 miles on it.  I'm not sure how many miles were on it when Jerry sold it.  I wnt through the whole bike.  Carbs,  final drive,  all fluids.  You name it.  I think it had the original tires on it.  I remember Jerry saying that it went to Billy Joel and they picked it up in a car hauler that was a semi.  I've got pictures on my pc,  I'll have to dig them out.  I know it has MarkT exhaust, new petcock,  and demogged.  ha ha.

Thanks for sharing G- man.  miss you buddy.

Ya mean he never rode it in the rain?

a line from one of his songs. You may be right, I may be crazy, but I just may be the lunatic you're looking for  
If you don't know where your going any road will take you there

  The thing all of us will notice is how it is sneaking under the rope because they are so long.
