That is a sad situation.
On a lighter note, if anyone is SERIOUS about a Valkyrie project, I gave a cursory thought about a road trip for this one:

http://nh.craigslist.org/mcy/5676294683.html

The mileage doesn't concern me, but it sure needs some love. IT'S SOLD and being resurrected:

I always wonder why people put these kinds of ads on Craigslist. Are these people really that stupid? Or do they think we are that stupid?

Inquiring minds would like to know... :IDTS:

A valid title might be worth that kind of money for someone with a hot bike.

83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
And a slightly worse for the wear BMW GS adventure bike awaiting repair
83 GL in process :IDTS:
