Take a look at this little quicktime video of a nickel balancing on its edge while a Valkyrie engine is started and revved. I've demonstrated the same thing to friends on a few occasions. Always amazing.

Hey I know the old video isn't very good, but maybe you should look into getting a new monitor lol.
Seriously, I apologize for the poor quality, I think the fella had his young daughter doing the camera work, then the file size was heavily reduced etc etc, so that is what you're left with.... but it isn't "photoshopped" as someone suggested. In fact, c'mon over and I'll demonstrate it for you personally.

At least you admit it. What I really want to know is where nike_soccer gets his pictures from but yeah. The Valk is a nice bike. Gianormous but nice.
