While searching google images I came across this beauty, I really like the paint job.

It was up for sale in 2006 for $9000 with only 6042 miles on the clock.

A real stunning phat girl,,, I like,,,alot.

Anyone here own this beauty?

Looks alot like Jimmy's not sure if his has the darker high-lite if so then that bike now lives in The Great State Of Tennessee.


I've seen alot of people that thought they were cool , but then again Lord I've seen alot of fools.

I put this Valk at the top of my Valk pretty list, your blue'n'white has just been relegated to number two (sorry Joe)
My red'n'white now sits proudly at number 3.  :cooldude:

Wow, you got to be kidding?  By the way, that is my bike Joe. Never thought I'd see it from an old pic. The paint must have been beautiful in 2006. It is a bit faded now and has a chip or two in the paint, but still turns a head now and then.  I have a little over 20K on the clock now.

Story goes, that this was owned by a guy who was making it a show bike. It got stolen from his shop and made it's way to Florida and was in a container, getting ready to  head overseas, when a "bust",  found it and several other stolen bikes.  A US Marshall bid on the bike at auction(it had been declared a loss and paid for) and won the bid. He bought it for his wife that rides, but she said it was too much for her, so he put it on craigs list.  I talked with him several times and finally went to see it and bought it.  It has a scratch or two on it, looked like it has been down on it's side once, but no major damage anywhere, just a little cosmetics I need to repair eventually.    If I can remember how to post an image, I'll post a couple on this thread for you.  Thank you for the kind words on the bike, it's pretty if you like those kind of paint jobs, but I'd prefer some basic colours myself. It was such a good deal, I overlooked the custom paint.  Some folks really like that kind of paint job though. Thanks again.

Thought that was you we rode with over the Cherohalla on Friday to FCR. Faded or not, she's pretty and the color catches attention.  :cooldude:

There is one painted like that over in Idaho, used to be an I/S, but was wrecked and no longer has the hard bags ,or Pods on it. Sure draws attention when the light/angle change as you walk around it.
