Meet Charlotte...


Here is our 2000 Honda Valkyrie Standard: "Charlotte." We purchased this bike January 2008 and have put over 14,000 miles on her since. This has included touring the local countryside, trips to various Wisconsin locals, and, last summer, a 3,000 mile trip to West Virginia. The Valkyrie is known for its massive six cylinder (flat-six) engine that makes nearly 100 HP and 100 ft. lbs torque. As a touring machine, we've done over 400 mile days riding two-up on multiple occasions and enjoyed every minute of it.

Since purchasing the bike, we have added touring necessities such as the Hondaline saddlebags, BakeBuilt airwings, passenger grab bars, passenger floor boards and other useful items. In the near future, we're hoping to add some Alaska Leather gel buttpads (http://www.alaskaleatheronline.com/servlet/StoreFront) to make long rides even more comfortable.

Since purchasing Charlotte two years ago, we have enjoyed many beautiful rides, great scenery, and met some incredibly nice people. We highly recommend everyone get out on two wheels and enjoy themselves-- especially two-up.
