Yesterday (6/14/24) a dark colored Infinity (I think) pulling a two-wheeled trailer that had a Silver and black Valk and a Black Valk with saddlebags.
Right at 5pm coming out of a gas station and turned, probably to go on the Loop (maybe headed to Houston).

Here in my "one-horse" town of Victoria Tx.

I was in the middle lane next to y'all at the light.
Remember, if you are on a bike and wreck with a car no matter how "in the right" you are you are going to lose. RIDE LIKE EVERBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU!!

Occassionally On my Rides I run into other Valkyries.   I always ask if they follow the VRCC website and I have yet to meet on the road any Valkyrie owner who does.    Must be a lot of Valkyrie owners out there who never heard of the VRCC.

I think you're right.
I've done the same and also have yet to meet any Valk riders that do!!

I've met Valkyrie folks who maybe joined the VRCC a long time ago, but stopped going onto this site for whatever reason.

Last fall a guy came up to me at an event just to talk about the Valkyrie (this happens a lot).  As it turned out, the guy rode an orange and black Valk that I had seen a couple of times on nearby roads.  I recall that he was a VRCC member, but never went on the site.

When I do meet another Valkyrie rider, I try to remember to give 'em a card with my name and VRCC info on it.  I've even left cards on Valkyries in parking lots.

This last spring I was approached by a younger fella while I was preparing to hit the road from the Texas Fandango.  He told me he had just bought a Valkyrie and was excited about it.  We talked about Valkyries and the VRCC for a bit.  We said our goodbyes and I rode off.  A bit later I realized that I had totally forgotten to give him a card...duh!  :???:
