"I would buy both but that's me. Ian, I gotta tell you, telling me about your 34 bikes is the best news I heard all day. I *only* have 25 and my wife thinks I'm crazy. I can't wait to tell her about Ian MacDonald and his 34 bikes. OUTSTANDING! "

Hah. The thought has crossed my mind, but it would be a Standard Valk, plus the bagged XS. But, at that point, I'm creeping away from why I want the Valk. I want a bagged Valk,

Great minds think alike. Here's to 35 & 36.

I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam and bloodied my shins many times on the engine guards of my 83 Goldwing, can't imagine it being any different on that Valkyrie for me. Sat on a BMW R18 once, great looking bike but I'm quite sure my size 14's would catch fire at some point.

Valkyries have caught my eye in the past as well. Now that I've got a big fat 800lb Kawasaki Voyager in my fleet, I'm more comfortable with the idea of owning this size/weight of motorcycle, and the big 6cyl Honda sounds pretty appealing: less weight than the Voyager, and that exhaust note.

I looked at a Vaquero, with a sticking clutch. It appealed to me, especially since I own quite a few modern Kawks. But, the thing was a turd. Slow as all heck. After riding a Valk, I was convinced I needed one as a happy medium.

I'll get my Valk delivered in two weeks, and picking the XS up next weekend.
