. . ....But that just changed yesterday ! . . ...Thats right...it was a long search, with a couple of "almost" moments along the way.. . . . ...Searched the whole country, and finally found one that was super sweet, and definitely worth the wait. .....Folks....let me proudly present our new machine..    .....1999 Valkyrie Interstate LOADED with *Bling* and she is cherry.. ~ Corbin seat, with the complete stock seat in a box. ~ Bag Rails,Touring bag rail and luggage rack ~ Cobra "fold up" floor boards for Chili ~ Chrome side covers - (with stock in perfect condition wrapped up) ~ Chrome Tranny cover ~ Honda Line CB radio ~ Fog Lights "new" in the box, ready to be installed ~ Complete up to date maintenance manual ~ 20,100 miles on the odometer ~ Bike came with 6 thousand dollars in "itemized" Extras . . ...Sorry shes a little dirty in the pictures, we ran into a hellacious rainstorm on the way home, and these pics were taken as soon as we got home. . . ...Anyway....like I said before...it was a long, sad, bikeless summer...but that is definitely over.. . . ..Now....if you,ll excuse me...We have some sweet wind waiting for us ! .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excellent News!  I guess the old adage "good things come to those who wait" was very appropriate in your case! VERY happy for you brother, she is beautiful!

She looks good. I was looking at the pictures and thinking the only thing missing is pod lights. Then I read the text.  She looks good. Enjoy your time together. I hope you and the young lady are completely healed now from the incident.

Yes! Almost looks like your original.  Only thing I would add would be Bakers and pod deflectors.  Congratulations

Congrats, looks nearly fully loaded to the max. Now get out on the open road and rack up those miles to catch up to most of us since VERY low mileage of only 20K. GREAT fine for sure!! ENJOY!

Like I said when we were talking on the phone... I'm thinkin' a meeting in Copper Harbor would be the perfect way to show that beauty off (after my son's wedding on 9/19). So happy for ya  Black Dog

.....Thank you every one for all the compliments, it was a long, hard search, and Chili and I went around a couple of times, because at the time I really wanted an F6b. But I am definitely happy with this bike. ....And Rainmaker, thank you....I think that was the best compliment Ive gotten on her so far, and it definitely made me smile. ..

. . ....just a little side not....or frosting on the cake as they say. . ...Chili and I were just about done strapping her down and were getting ready to get in the truck and bring her to her new home. All of a sudden a gal pulls up in a pickup truck with her husband. She tells me how they were just driving by and saw the bike on the trailer, and it was so beautiful, she just had to turn around and check it out and compliment it. I thanked her and told her I had just bought it. She asked if I minded telling her how much I paid, and I said I didnt and told her. She was amazed and turned to her husband and said.. . . . . . . ....How come I paid THOUSANDS MORE for my Harley ?!?!? ..
