Valk on the Dragon

[IndyBill]

Took the Valk on the Dragon last week. Got a clean pass the first time through which is unusual but it handled like a dream. I think it turns in easier than the Ninja 1000 that I traded for it. Rode it down from Indiana and the only real issue I have is the seat. I bought the bike used and it has a seat that was redone by Baldwin and I do not remember any stock seat that is worse than this seat. After about an hour you are squirming and three hours are almost unbearable. Once your butt gets to hurting there is no relief no matter how much you stop.

Mine has the short windshield and for me that is no issue. I ride with a Nexx carbon fiber helmet and get very little buffeting unless you exceed 90 or so which on this bike is easy to do.

Used a GoPro but have not mastered transfering the video to my pc so that I can post it.

I have had lots of bikes and I can say this one ranks in the top three. Only had 1600 miles on it when I got it a month ago and now it just turned over 5k.

Glad you're having fun, you'll have more fun when you get a good seat 

I set my go-pro to take a picture every 5 seconds, and then look through them after
I get home... post 8 or 10, and throw away 2000...

Transferring video and editing it can be a full time job, and consumers need a
good internet connection to see it...

-Mike "1600 miles, wow..."

Bill, just got in a Corbin and did almost a 500 mile day.  I'm not a Corbin fan, but it was pretty good, wasn't even thinking about the seat.  The stock seat was killing me.

I have always liked Corbin seats but I am doing the solo seat and the Corbin is a duo. Taking my seat to a local guy and see if he can redo the foam and gel.

Just an FYI, Corbin now has the Gunfighter style saddle as well as the Dual Touring for the Valkyrie.  Check it out on their website, pretty slick locking!!!

Will check it out. Thanks
