Does anyone have a picture of a Valkyrie getting some air? I know I'm going to have to clarify for the rabble rousers - I mean the motorcycle, not the aircraft, and I mean air between the tires and the pavement, not getting air put in the tires.  :coolsmiley:

I'm pretty sure that if any Valk rider caught some air, he or she certainly didn't mean too  :o  :crazy2:

I'd be willing to bet the river bottom farm you've never rode with Gordon ( Lucky 13 ) . Dude wheelies his Interstate all the time.That's him in hupcap's pic above.


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

You are correct, I've never had the privilege of riding with him. But I'm referring to both wheels being off the ground at the same time. Now that would be a feat. WHOOOOOP  :o

That first pic of Gordon wheelieing was on Main St in Marion, VA.  I recognize the businesses there.

I thought we had enough hooligans in the VRCC to get some photos like these:


..

No photo.

BUT

Turn left off "The Pocket" on to Everett Springs Rd.

Once you clear the section of road running next to the stream you will take a left bned and whack the throttle open.

Hitting about 80 on a Valkyrie or 75 on a ST 1300 will get both wheels off the ground as you pass over a hump back rise in the road. You'd better whack the throttle or you will not be going fast enough  ;D

Yep. Thought of that "Valkyrie Super Moto" immediately. That was the most fun ride I've ever been on, bar none.  :)
