    Think she's broken in yet? (Valk related)

    I snapped this Saturday...in the middle of a 600+ mile run for barbeque...


    Think she's broken in yet?

    Oh, and look! A low mileage Valkyrie!

            I can't see where any of the suspension is sagging yet. Dosen't look to comfortable for a long range trip. Footwear looks mission specific and may not be good for all conditions. Load too much gear and it could upset the handling. All these obeservations could be negated by a extended "ride before you buy".
            When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger
