I sold my Valkyrie to Steve at Northwest Honda in Houston, TX about 6 or 7 years ago and just got to wondering where it is now and who is having the time of their life eating up roads with it.  Getting the itch to have another one.  Replaced it with a 72 Vette and it's time to ditch the cage for another bike.  My Valk was a 1999 with House of Kolors Brandywine over Tangerine.  CB, bags Hondaline windshield, Interstate tank from a guy called Tigger in Dallas and oh, I almost forgot to mention, CHROME! LOTS OF CHROME!

Don't have a clue who's got her now, but if I find out, I'd probably steal it for myself. Love that color.

Thanks! The color was tough. I knew I wanted candy apple red but House of Kolors candy red was too bright. (silver base with red topcoat). I looked over their color charts and decided on the Brandywine over Tangerine base. About 6 or 8 topcoats if I remember. It looks black cherry in the shade but looks a foot deep in the sun and perfect candy red. Sure would love to see her again.
