OK folks, here is the lowdown on what it costs to ride a Valkyrie. After 30,000 miles it has cost me 59 cents for every mile that I have had the pleasure to ride the FatLady. It is 90 miles round trip to work for me. It costs $43.00 each time I ride it to work. But, looking on the bright side after I have 60,000 miles on it, the cost will only be 30 cents a mile....All this is not figuring the present worth of the Valkyrie. If that were to be figured in the cost would be down to about 30 cents a mile now.
