I missed it last year, and will miss it again this year.  Looks like I'll be having a wrench party.  Come on up if your this far already!

I was all prepared to go to both. However my daughter did very well at the Tolar's track meet. She ended up in the finals and they didn't start until 5 pm.
I did get to talk to a fellow valkyrie rider in Granbury named John (Texas Horned Frog). He was doing some shopping at Home Depot just like me.   TJ

I linked them from another forum without thinking that you'd probably need to be logged in there before they show.... let me upload them to Photobucket and link again. Oopsie.

What was the one guy doing with his bike on it's side and both saddle bags open looking through the right one?

Just curious...

Methihks he was fixing something on the left side of the bike and was searching for cable ties. Why he did not put the bike on sidestand? Beats me, but seemed like showing off good style to me ......

Nice pics. Thanks for posting. Had a motor officer teaching me some of this stuff a couple of weekends back over in Ft Worth, but it takes a lot of practice and some drops to get really good at the tight stuff.

Been there, done that Gary...    My engine guards weren't pristine to start with, so no skin off my back... 

Get ready to see pics of Valkyrie Interstates with some of those lean angles!

Thanks for posting Sigrun!

Any pictures of mine will look like the officer who is getting stuff out of his saddlebag while the bike is on it's side.
