Brother in law has a 96 Wing and has had trouble with the alternator and other charging system components. That's all I know.

Oversees Highway, from Key Largo to Key West
SilvrT replied to Brake Pad's topic in South Atlantic States
In the fall of 2017 you can lead us on that trip as we should arrive in Florida around then. Our plan is to leave here June 2017 and tour across Canada to PEI. Then appx mid Sept start working our way south winding up in FL late October. Hang around there for a while and then explore various parts of the USA, finally heading back here around June 2018. That's the plan anyway. -
... and then there's those "pond monsters" reported every year at Freebird's maintenance day.... (or was it somewhere else?) ...

I remember going thru some twisties at 100 mph ... when I had my Wing and trying to keep up with a couple other idiots on Wings (did I just include myself as an idiot? lol)
-
Ya, that's not much but could be used for slow speed practice or just cruisin thru a park or residential area.

You know you're in Canada when you see most of the young guys (and some of the girls) wearing toques ... in the middle of summer ... coz that's the latest fashion craze.

Thanks for the offer Kevin. I'm tempted but I think I've used up all my "forgivenesses" with Nina LOL

... and I thought only airplanes had a "black box" ......

For me it was the return trip from Venture West Los Osos as we were heading towards Reno after leaving Yosemite. We stopped for the night at a campground and got to sleep in an old western covered wagon. While the road itself was nothing special, that part of the trip was "magical"!

OMG Kerry!! That's too close to home my friend! Hope you heal up quickly and don't suffer in the process. Nina sends hugs and get well smoochies.

Didn't say I didn't like the original Rune ... it's a very different bike and I've seen a few done up pretty fancy. There's a Rune club around here ... mostly Asians and they've sunk a lotta change into some of those bikes. Now THIS version of the Valk I really don't like at all ... it's nothing more than a GW frame/engine with different (and goofy looking) body work. (but that's JMO)

I have been wanting a Valk Interstate for some time. Rode a couple and both had growly sounding trannies. Other than that, nice riding bikes and plenty of power. Yes, they have the same drive train as the pre-2001 Wings. I'm currently looking at a 2001 out in Winnipeg. Only has 24,000 miles on it. From my limited knowledge, the 1999 has some issues that were cured with the 2000 & up model. I think they were partially dropped due to the change in engine for the Wing so they revamped it and called it a Rune ... IMHO, that was the "rune" of the Valk (ruin ... pun intended) Almost bought a real sweet 2000 Valk Interstate a few years ago just before I bought the Wing. It was in Regina, SK. I was just about to hop on a plane and go get it when the guy called me to say he sold it to somebody local that had expressed interest before me. I was real choked. Brian (friesman) had checked it out for me and everything. And now Honda has brought out a new version of the Valk ... what an ugly POS IMO. Their styling has really gone off the deep end I think.

A stutter, a spark plug, a V-Rod, a Slingshot and a bike named Tweeks
SilvrT replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
Was at the Vic shop last Saturday and did a demo ride on a Vision. They had at least 10 Slingshots there, 4 of which were a drab green color ... obviously a special order for a client. All but one were sold units. Wasn't able to test ride that day but dealer said maybe in a week or two. Seems around here those things are selling like marbles shot out a Slingshot! -
WOW WOW WOW holy samoleons .... you sure had a lot to "get out" .... feel better now I hope!

I removed reference to who he is. It was a picture that somebody posted so who knows if the person listed on it actually posted the message or if somebody made it up to look like he did.

I just paid off my Vic ... feels weird not having payments ... I just might.

Somebody posted this on facebook. I cleaned it up a bit. I believe this to be generic feelings of many cage drivers out there. The last two lines being the most important.

You might want to consider this little "gem". https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/ I have one and it works well.
