Re: '98 Honda Valkyrie
Lovely. Used t o valet one , took two days to do it properly. Obviously had to road test it each time, like a Swiss watch with six pipes that could play Bach. Handling was impressive for it’s size and sooooooo comfy. The chap that owned it could smoke the back tyre with the wheels at forty five degrees as he went out of the car park, twenty years before Marquez was born!

Re: '98 Honda Valkyrie
I've never been a fan of cruisers or big bikes in general, never been interested in a Wing even when offered a mint 1500 by a mate 3 years ago for very little money. Managed to arrange the sale of it though, back to the guy he bought it from.
However that looks absolutely stunning and I can definitely see why you wanted it. Fantastic colours too. I'm jealous!

Re: '98 Honda Valkyrie
That was a great colour you had, cap'n. Mine is more of an acquired taste but it is fairly rare with only 400 made.
I've been over to Barry Island car park today practising my U- turns on the beast as I've been running wide on tight turns.
They weren't really U-turns, more like large bends
Monty and the fat lady, all in one week.
Mrs Knapdog shakes her head in disbelief.
