Valkyrie spotted
Discussion
I'm not an AM man, so apologies if this sounds trivial, but was pleasantly surprised to see a Valkyrie driving in London yesterday. Shared the route between M1 Staples Corner all the way down to Swiss Cottage (we then parted ways).
What a spectacle to see! Really was like sharing the road with a Le Mans racer (albeit at 20mph....). Quite a petite car, from the rear it looks relatively non-descript, but other angles were a spectacle.
Kudos to the driver for not being too precious about it too, zoming into gaps in the traffic. Reg was something like "VA11KYR" or something to that effect.
Anyways, slightly made my day so I thought I'd share!
Nice to hear. I've seen one albeit travelling at much higher speed and coming the other way to the direction I was travelling. Also, had the tour arranged by HWM not long after the launch of the car.
It is smaller than expected and not at all practical but as a piece of engineering it is something else.

I was staying in Houx campsite next to the Chemin au Boeufs. A fleet (maybe a Ride ?) of 12 Valkyries passed us TWICE en route to/from the AM Hospitality.
Sadly as we had no warning, no pics.
Just open mouths.

Yeah I saw that one in London a few weeks ago.What a spectacle to see! Really was like sharing the road with a Le Mans racer (albeit at 20mph....). Quite a petite car, from the rear it looks relatively non-descript, but other angles were a spectacle.

I was surprised the driver was happy to drive it around London, loads of scooters constantly cutting us up riding all over the place it's getting ridiculous!!
