Re: That Poor Valkyrie
I forgot to mention this entire thing was the fault of Sodbuster. He brought his Valk to the 2015 Deadwood run, and I never forgot how cool his bike was.

Re: That Poor Valkyrie
Quite literally, during an argument with a (long gone EX!) girfriend, she said to me -
'I didn't say it was your fault, I said I'm blaming you'
Yeah, that pretty well sums up that relationship!

Re: That Poor Valkyrie
Oh dear, i guess you did it in a damp shop 'cos, it gone all different shades and kinda faded a bit at the one end.
I think you just have to strip it and do it again in the summer! Shame really!
Nah, $20 saddle on a $10 horse..
