Homebound: Fast Flight to Capture a Valkyrie

Weblog No Comments

Back in Choctaw, Oklahoma tonight at the KOA after what was an unexpectedly tiring day.

500 miles covered, however I did treat myself to a cheer-up present, this crazy, beautiful-condition, 1998 Honda Valkyrie just up the road, which was for sale at Shawnee Honda Polaris Kawasaki in Shawnee, Oklahoma 🙂. Not my usual kind of ride, but a bike I’ve always admired. This one has these really nice quiet pipes🤘.

Up with the lark tomorrow for a very long travel day.

I spotted the bike for sale last week and made plans to call in and pick it up today. The journey was OK but getting the timing right to get to U-Haul to rent a trailer then, get to the bike dealership on time was a bit frantic.

The salesman placed a quarter on edge, standing upright on the right cylinder bank and revved the engine. It didn’t topple!

Astro images fascinate me because these wonderful, beautiful objects are there all the time, but in many cases we just can't see them. They are too faint. That's where long exposures come in, sometimes requiring many hours. Every image I publish I'll try to give you some background on the object and a little story on how that image was created. I'm also passionate about music and fast motorcycles, hopefully I'll touch on these as well. I hope you enjoy my site, my aim is to share my passion.
