New member and trike owner

Hi. New to trikes, used to ride harleys back in the 80's and got away from bikes, family, job, you know, time to be respectable. So this is kind of a bucket-list thing. I wanted to ride again, but have a sketchy knee and figured the last thing I needed was getting a bike off camber and blowing a knee out. I found a really clean, low mileage Valkyrie and had a Roadsmith trike kit put on it. Had to get the carbs rebuilt and now it runs like a scalded cat. Went the old school hotrod route, no upper trunk, all black and chrome with 4 inch stainless pipes out the back. Just gotta be careful, I'm too old to be an organ donor. I'll try to post a couple of pictures, if I can figure out how. :cool:
 
Welcome to TT! Look forward to seeing a picture of your trike.

I'll be down in your neck of the woods in June. My club has it's spring regional meet in Keokuk.

Glad to have you aboard,Daniel. Sounds like you have a cool ride there. I owned a 99 Valk Standard so I'm a fan of them,too.
Is yours an Interstate model?

No, it started life as as a '98 tourer. Seems like there are others here who like the same look, like yours.

Hi Keystone. I'm only about 20 miles north of Keokuk. I like your ride, clean, black and chrome, that's what I'm talkin' about. ThumbUp
