Art708 Posted April 30, 2010 #1 Posted April 30, 2010 If all goes well in the morning I will trade my RSV for a Valkyrie. The Valk is 7K and they are paying off the 7.7K that I owe so I figure I'm getting 14.7 for the RSV. This will be my 4th Valkyrie...I can't seem to stay away from them. Maybe I'll still go to Jax next weekend for the M&E...if Hondas are allowed.
Freebird Posted April 30, 2010 #2 Posted April 30, 2010 Sounds like a good deal. You know that we don't care what you ride, just ride it and enjoy it.
Brake Pad Posted April 30, 2010 #3 Posted April 30, 2010 You can continue to chat with us, as Freebird said, we don't care what you ride.
Art708 Posted April 30, 2010 Author #4 Posted April 30, 2010 Thanks y'all.... I didn't think that you'd toss me out. Riding is what we love, who cares what we ride!
YamaDude Posted April 30, 2010 #6 Posted April 30, 2010 hey enjoy the new bike, a friend of mine had one I loved the way it looked and rode!
mini-muffin Posted April 30, 2010 #7 Posted April 30, 2010 Hey if we can have moderators with wings and harleys, we can keep you too. Margaret
hoghead Posted April 30, 2010 #10 Posted April 30, 2010 Had a 99 myself and really liked it. Are you getting the Interstate model? The reason I ask, if you are not getting the IS order up some Interstate Carburetor springs. They are lighter and make a world of difference on the standard models. Easy to do and very inexpensive. Much quicker throttle response. The springs were lighter due to the additional weight of the Interstate. Enjoy the new ride! hh
gibvel Posted April 30, 2010 #11 Posted April 30, 2010 You know that we don't care what you ride, just ride it and enjoy it. Just be prepared for some good natured ribbing!! (That doesn't mean you can't give some back also...)
Squidley Posted April 30, 2010 #12 Posted April 30, 2010 I seriously was considering a Valk before I came into the '99 I have now. Nice bike and LOTS of power, I agree pics and keep your butt right here
Art708 Posted April 30, 2010 Author #13 Posted April 30, 2010 Just be prepared for some good natured ribbing!! (That doesn't mean you can't give some back also...) Can only rib me if they can catch me.

I couldn't find an IS closeby that I could deal on. I may end up with a fairing on the Tourer...dunno. This is my 4th Valk so I have LOTS of parts in my shop....carbs, chrome,trigger wheels, etc. I'll know in a couple of hours if the deal went through. I'll post some pics this afternoon if I actually do get it.
Art708 Posted April 30, 2010 Author #15 Posted April 30, 2010 Don't forget the pics..... Ok....here 'tis.
OddStar Posted April 30, 2010 #16 Posted April 30, 2010 Luv them 'Flash Gordon' mufflers Kinda like what I had on my '69 BSA Rocket 3, 'cept mine were vertical. The IS model or Kaw's new Voyage are the only bikes that would tempt me away from my Tour Deluxe. Enjoy!
1BigDog Posted April 30, 2010 #17 Posted April 30, 2010 Looks good Art.....guess we will see it in person next week, huh?
hipshot Posted April 30, 2010 #18 Posted April 30, 2010 man! that thing even looks good as a "Den ornament"! a little plywood, and a little veneer, - - you'd have a nice piece of furniture, there. i like it. just jt:stickpoke:
Carbon_One Posted April 30, 2010 #19 Posted April 30, 2010 The Valks always were one of my alltime favorite bikes, especialy the Interstate model. If Honda had still made them when I bought my 05 Midnight it would of been a strong contender. Larry
Art708 Posted April 30, 2010 Author #20 Posted April 30, 2010 Looks good Art.....guess we will see it in person next week, huh? If nothing goes wrong I'll be there.
Wanderer Posted April 30, 2010 #21 Posted April 30, 2010 I guess it's alright if you like that kind of power and beauty?
ctraylor Posted April 30, 2010 #22 Posted April 30, 2010 Can only rib me if they can catch me. Bet my Beemer can catch ya
Art708 Posted May 1, 2010 Author #23 Posted May 1, 2010 Bet my Beemer can catch ya Bet your Beemer won't catch my 'busa.
Yama Mama Posted May 1, 2010 #24 Posted May 1, 2010 I am happy for you Art. Also glad you plan to stay around here too. I of course, do not understand why Honda stopped making the Valkyrie. I realize they then made the Rune, which was way over most people's budgets. The joke is Valkyries are still so popular. I guess that is why I work with children, and do not make Industrial decisions. Yama Mama
