It is the largest gathering of Valkyries on the planet. I'm not sure about that Misfit. I was checking out the Euro Inzane page the other day. They have almost 400 registered already. Very impressive indeed. |

You do know you have the OLDEST year 1997 right, but is the first year and the fastest year made supposedly..  What were you thinking buying an already near 20 year old cycle??  Just kidding...  ENJOY!!! |

Just curious, where do you hang your hat, I noticed that is omitted? i am currently in central California but might be moving north to Spokane Washington in a few months. Welcome djorg2006, Whenever you get up to Spokane, there is a tight group there who get a lot of ridding in. Don't forget to post in the PNW Chapter, I think they us Facebook mostly, but I'm sure someone can direct you to a contact or 2. Also another group of Valkyrie riders in Seattle. Also there is our local BC and WA and ALL annual Rally, this year in Post Falls ID (across from Spokane) then over to the annual InZane rally, which will be in Billings MT. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,88623.0.html |
