Evenin’ all this is a picture of Eric my latest acquisition ( Monty Python fans may remember Eric the half a bee song?) Anyway in the USA this colour Valkyrie is known as the Bumble Bee😁 Eric is poorly he needs a new clutch which is on order and hopefully sorted very soon by supplying dealer.He’s a bit of a bruiser bigger than my Harley but actualy lighter by quite a few kg’s.Very noisy with 6 into 6 open pipes.

Will have to stand the Supetdream next to it,it dwarfs the Harley but it’s surprisingly light to push round unlike Rusty my Suzuki Burgman😡

Can’t wait to see it in the flesh Earliest opportunity maybe at Hoar park you’ll have to have a ride on it Carl.I can ride it slowly round town but clutch slips giving it a fistful too cold for riding. at moment though,did Seb contact you regarding latest delivery? He doesn’t respond straightaway

Undecided on the pipes,it’s NOISY but not as loud as the Harley🙀 Looked up the ends today and I think there are baffles in them as a precaution I picked a set of original exhausts up came off an 8000 mile bike but the Cobras might grow on me.Haven’t ridden the bike properly yet ‘cause of the clutch slipping,they supposedly sound like a Porsche being a flat 6 I guess

Yeah not sure if Hoar park opening next week for takeaways,hopefully Eric will have his new clutch within next couple weeks spoke to bike shop today and waiting for some of the parts to come in from Honda.Seb works for NHS Inonly know him from buying the exhaust but seemed decent guy well into bikes😁
