Beautiful weather today so, one couple on a wing, one friend on a 1500 Valk Interstate and Sherry and I on the naked 1500 valk got in a couple hundred miles and the destination was a small Mc shop that works on all makes to see a drifter, he had this 800 for sale. This is the first time I have been able to really see one up close and I love it. My wife would like one however feels that she needs time on a Vulcan 500 for some time first. That is her call as she has her mc license and drove a bike for two years many moons ago. The bike felt like it would be a great bike to ride. I'm still more on the 1500 side but really like the 800.... A LOT! Note: Do you see the crazy tandem mc in the background in the second pic?

:o yes and the question begs asking why no pictures of it......
Ok tell the Mrs's that you want her to be super cool and so you buy her the 800. It will not be any harder to practice on then the 500. The 800 is a really nice and super easy machine to ride. I really like riding mine and have take a few longish trips on it.......
Oh, sorry.

;D Thank you, but I can see some domestic disputes starting on that machine.......
First of all: GRAB that nice 800! And as Ratty said, tell your wife that your buyin' it just for her and once done, you can also tell that you need to practice on that machine, too...
Second: what the heck is that crazy tandem??? Does it work, or is it just a show bike (or what the hell call it...)?
No worries as there are sooooooo many 800s for sale locally and this week I will be taking off the goodies on my 2014 1800 Valkyrie and return her to stock and I should be listing her for sale at a grab it now low price as soon as we receive the paper title as it is paid for but the title is only in electronic form currently. Drifter shopping will be way better when we have full coin in hand. The tandem - I can't imagine it is very safe however the front motor was a dummy, but it works.
Well now that you buttocks have been caressed by the sensual siren Drifter by name what did you think? The 800 is a seductress of the first caliber, it can even bewitch females into thinking it is their best friend. Your wife would just look so fine riding an 800, Cheryl and Heidi both ride 800's and they are awesome ladies......lol...I am yes seeking brownie points, just don't tell Ron and Tom I am sweet talking their wives.
She would be really upset if she ever tried and 800 and you passed on a good deal......
That tandem looks fun though not sure about its safety level.

Don't think you'd have to worry about inadvertent stoppies ;)
