Just thought I'd ask. I know about life getting complicated and certain things having to be put off because of them. I kind of figured that since you're so unwilling to get rid of it (perfectly understandable), you'd want to take steps to get back on it.

If i could get it back on the road, as one motorcyclist to another, do you think i wouldn't just for the sake of it?? I mean honestly *L*
Its off the road for certain reasons, its not off the road purely because i cant be bothered getting it looked at. Its sat in the shed for this long whats a few more years is part of my reasoning for not wanting to get rid of it, who knows what the future may hold, I dont want to get rid of it then find a week later the reasons its off the road go away and its possible for me to get it ready and back on *LOL*
Anyway the reasons its not on or off the road are irrelevant. I just wanted to share my ride

Great bikes. I like that Victory. Really like the paint.
I went to one of the test ride days at a local Victory dealer and rode the Kingpin and a Cross Country.
I liked em. The only complaint I had was the clunky transmissions.
But, if I had 20 grand, I'd take that Cross Country home.

Only until the winds die out. LOL.
I actually didn't test ride my Victory. I tested the King Pin as well. Real smooth, great speed. The transmission responds best to a gentle touch which I just don't have. Especially running in my city where it's best to shift fast and hard to get out of the way. I didn't find out about the Cross Country, which is closer to what I was looking for, until after my purchase.

I was going to say something derogatory,like the manuals are only in Japanees(sp?)but I've been riding since I was 15(I'm 66 now)& I've learned that the only important thing is that "At least you're riding!" Irish

Close, Irish... Japanese. I'm in the 'At least you're riding' camp. As long as someone is happy with the bike they ride, and keep it upright, it's all good.

I haven't been riding nearly as long and already believe that. I have my preferences and will defend them, but I bow my head to those who defend theirs. Whether it's a crotch rocket, a brand new cruiser, Honda or Harley...it all boils down to we love to ride and that's all that matters.
