They is going to have to pry my damn dead fingers off the handle bars of MGM.
I plan on catching that DDT feller in total mileage before they toss my ashes under the grass for fertilizer.

MGM no for sale to anyone.     I got 2 kids that want him pretty bad, but, they can't decide who gets the Chevy Trike and who gets MGM.   Told them after I was gone they could duke it out.

Both have motor endorsements, so no problem there, and they both have ridden MGM & the Chevy.   So I'm not too worried there.   I can always be their Guardian Angel, if I can keep up.

The Chevy, it would be a toss up as to who can handle it the best.    Daughter has more miles on it as the driver.  She has made 3 rescue trips to get me home from stupid accidents.    1. (Wisconsin), Taking picture, fell off of a planter and broke my wrist,   2. (Idaho) I fell hard and almost broke my knee, had to have it replaced 12 years later, & last but not least, 3. (Oregon)  I got my foot shoved under a curb liner bus, by a little juvenile, who's ass needed kicked, but mommy said, son, you shouldn't do things like that, tell the man you are sorry, Kid said keep the f**K out of my way ya old bastard.  I wanted to just slap the crap out of him but a 40 year old turd hitting on a 12 year old,  don't think so..    

Each trip she got to fly out and bring ole dad home, bless her heart.   If dad needs any assistance, she is Johnny on the spot to respond, she loves her daddy.   He hauled  her little butt to all the lower 48 and to Alaska getting State Capital pictures.   That was where she 1st got to ride MGM, she had an endorsement, and I think she was 17, not older than that.    Cause she discovered boys at 18 and quit riding in the summer with dad.  LOL....   I got the stomach flu or something, I did not feel good at all.    Her school started 2 days later so, she jumped in the saddle of MGM, fired him up, rode about 9 or 10 laps around the parking lot and out into the street a couple of time, dragging the trailer behind her.    She pulled up beside me and said mount up dad, we is a headin East bound and down.    We had stayed over night in Salt Lake City.    I made it about 40 miles, East before it hit me.   Almost dumped the bike when I had to upchuck.     She did a super good job riding dad Bitch and dragging my old Stage Coach Trailer. that I wish I'd of never sold.    She would do anything for me and, yeah, I know, I'd do anything for her also.

What is MGM?

That's RJ's Valkyrie.  Quite a few of us name our Valks.  My Tourer is Sandman and my I/S is Wild Blue Yonder.

Mine is "named" "the Valk" because if it won't come when you call... a name is useless.

There is absolutely NO excuse in this case,  Victory has a very liberal "Test" ride policy.

He obviously didn't take advantage of it.

I found the Victory's to be somewhat lacking in power as well, except for the Hammer.

I have been told that all of them can be made to run with the Hammer, I think it involves adding what they call a "stage 1" kit.
