In the classifieds. I was hoping he was going to bring it to Inzane and let us take a test stroll through the Black Hills on it.  |

It is not the same bike Mark, I was in an accident with that one 3 years ago next month. Another VRCC member has had it and has given it new life. I did have this one at INZANE last year where many pople enjoyed a ride. It is a great bike to ride .JPG) |

Come to think of it I have ridden all three of the supercharged Valkyries that Big Mike has owned. Thanks again. |

Big Mike,
I was the first guy you fired the bike up for at Inzane last year. What a beast! Wish I had the money for it, because I'd buy it TODAY!
Thanks again for the great opportunity to get on that thing!

I really appreciate the kind comments. Short end of the story is I need to move the bike. The asking price is a starting point. Someone will get a great deal on this bike especially if you can come and get it within the next 2 weeks or so. I really need it gone by the Friday before Memorial Day. I promise to not be offended by any serious offer that can be backed up with an intelligent conversation. Worst I can do is so no.

Hey, Mile:
Where is the bike located?
Belleville? Or Taylor?

Saw this bike at InZane last year, photos don't do it justice. It is an amazing machine, workmanship is superb, incredible one of a kind ride for sure. Just bought my second Valkyrie, a custom job, pics to come. Picking it up next Tuesday to add to the stable. Might have made a run for this one had I not just bought the other.

I was the last one on that time machine cause you wanted to get her cleaned up for the show. Got on the backside of the Motel parking lot and when I twisted her tail she promptly slammed my eye balls out the back of my head. WHAT a frikkin rush that was. Took til that evening for my adrenaline levels to get back to normal.  Unless I hit the lottery it will remain a dream to own-but at least I have the memories of that short but unbelievable wonderful ride. Had it not been for that step seat I would have ben launched off the back side of that beast.  But I wasn't an THAT ride will remain with me forever.  RIDE SAFE. |

Thanks again for the kind comments. It is just not me to be greedy of the items that I have been blessed with. It is nice to share! I just started an ebay auction for the bike alone, no parts for only 10K. NO RESERVE. I hope that this will be afordable to someone. Here is a glimpse of why this bike is for sale. .JPG) .JPG) |

You seem to have a "need for speed" I do, However the bike is faster than the car. It is just my wife can join me in the car and not on this bike. I want her to be able to share in the need. |

Hi Mike,
Love your bike. I own a couple of special Valkyrie's and would love to add yours to my Harem. My wife is pretty understanding with my toys, but doubt a 3rd Valkyrie in 2 years would go over very well. I will follow your auction. Good luck with your sale.
Dan

I must say mike, you do have very good taste. Love the car and can't blame you for wanting the wife to be able to join you in satisfying your need for speed. Hope you both enjoy it responsibly.

Love to take it off your hands, Mike - I know you do great work. But if I spent that kinda money out of my retirement funds, well I'd be in the doghouse. Hell, I'm in the doghouse anyways, so... Jeez that's tempting. Maybe the doc will give me only 5 years to live. But I don't have the big C. Shoot.
