One thing for sure, unless you are one of those Christmas lights winger, or plastic chrome catalog winger there is not much to buy compared to the Valk. After the trip to Sixlow-Land and using his wing for an awesome run, I noted instantly that I loved his drop, Kuryakyn mini driver floorboards. Just a note for the day you get a wing. LOL.   ;)

I think you are right Don.
Just the other day I texted Jerry a bike porn pic one of my latest mod and he barely flinched, I think Jerry completely switched gears to the World of Wings and not much gets him excited anymore.
The true test will be his reaction when I text him a pic of Dairy Queen  :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

And Jack Attack! Bite your tongue! I think the grey bike looks Awesome to the 50th power! The problem is you don't post many pictures. The only one you sent - I see the speedo, not the entire bike.  :moon: :moon: And yes, the next (second) bike I get will most likely be.... Africa Twinn NON DCT.  I can't afford Valkyries.   Ok the way I have to buy extras for them.    :2funny:

Quite a few of us have been drawn into the Geezer Zone weather we want to admit it or not. :roll:

I think one of the requisites to be considered a  "geezer" is you need to be retired, I guess that makes me a geezer, I just don't feel it yet. This geezer is going to be at the brooksville bike fest this weekend, we should plan a ride around and end up there this weekend.

Be careful, they drag in corners. First time will awaken you. The second time made me angry >:( The third time, I sold them. I had mine angled downward to help get my size 12 under the shifter. Actually, my boot got caught between the road and the bike. Liked to separate my foot at the ankle. They look great and if you're not a hard corner guy you may be alright, just proceed with caution.

I too, liked the drop. Just not the "scrape" I then tried the Knight Design drop pegs thinking not as wide as the mini-board and may be fine. No/Go again. Many other 1800 Valkyrie riders use the Knight Design so I recently bought another set thinking I'd take it easy in the corners, nope No/Go again. :-\ I hope they work for you, I really liked the drop, it relaxed my hip pain.
If you can't be a good example: be a WARNING!!

Got my hands on BMW 1250 in Sweden - almost new bike and it was not for me.  Mostly posture was off. The Display was awesome. I will stick with Jap stuff.

Shot across the Bow here, you better start thinking NC if you want to share the road as the wing will not live here soon.

I do believe if we were to meet up you would find a much more relaxed rider then the past.

This has been a very tough season at work for me, I would say the busiest for many reasons, Sherry hasn't seen much of me either.  The opportunities to get away this season were filled with running up to big Mike's place in NC and checking in on the needs of the new house build. Sorry for the huge pics, photobucket yuck!  Might have to scroll right left.

Looking good. Is that an outdoor VRCC restroom you had installed in the first pic?

Nice looking place and location there Jerry and Sherry. Looks like a great place to retire!  :smitten:

Thank you all for the positive remarks.  Sherry and I feel very lucky to have found this spot and we are very satisfied with the builder at this point. We very much so hope to have many up and we will open up the new Valk clubhouse at some point, many know Big Mike, his place is 25 miles from us and Todd and Penny are 39 miles from us, I know many remember them, they have the air BnB bus,  [url=https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33658189?source_impression_id=p3_1647570473_rXrulzHYcDLVAL1g]https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33658189?source_impression_id=p3_1647570473_rXrulzHYcDLVAL1g[/url]
Surely we can conjure up a Valk party. Maybe one day the area will host another inzane and Jack will force me to pick up another Valk!  Then the world would be upright again.   :angel: :rider: :rider: :viking:

A lot of the group has moved away from the Valk or bought another bike to go along with it. But really all that matters is that we get together and ride. Hate to always repeat my mantra, but we are Dead a loooong time, so let's make the best of the Dash !!  :cooldude:

Oh no, according to Nick it is too private.
