I bought my first touring bike about two months ago. Winter is closing in but I am hoping to get her out a few more times before the snow flies. I am planning on taking some trips next summer.   |

Wow. That's a beauty - looks comfy too. It's like riding in a Cadillac. So comfortable and just glides down the road. |

This is my first time with a bike this big. It is a little intimidating at first but the more you ride it the more comfortable you get. Cruising down the highway or interstate is the best feeling. |

Beautiful scooter. Had a chance once to pick up a chopper..my friend and I took a ride in Miami, hit a sandy spot and off we flew...he rode the curb for about 50 feet, I hit the grass fortunately...changed my mind on getting that ride, now I just open the windows in my truck and enjoy the breeze that way.

That's a beautiful bike. Congrats! Bet a guy doesn't even notice potholes on a cruiser like that.

Yikes, that would be scary. Hopefully I won't have any bad experiences. |

Nathan, beautiful machine👌👍👍. My last two were Dressers, made two trips to Nova Scotia, simply a fabulous time. Those were the days my friend, I thought they’d never end.....nope, I’m not finishing the damn song..lol.
Be safe and watch for other idiots on the road that have no respect for others!!!

 When I got my Valkyrie Cruiser after cancer surgery I hopped on in Louisiana, drove North to half of Mississippi, started to get the feel and didn’t look back. Your bike is a beautiful work of Art, Congrats!

You have heard it before, but it can't be stressed enough...always be watching for people who don't see you when they are changing lanes...also keep looking at the road right in front of you..sand and oil are your biggest dangers. (besides idiot drivers who aren't paying attention to a motorcycle...a good loud horn on your bike is essential).
