A Victory V92 TC that was frozen in a block of ice in 2011 has re-started after just an hour’s worth of workshop tinkering. Despite spending four years at sub-zero temperatures, the bike only needed an oil change, fresh fuel and a new battery.
The bike (Model Year 2002) was originally frozen in ice to exhibit at the Ice Hotel Sweden, celebrating the hotel’s purchase of a 15-strong rental fleet of Victory motorcycles for guests to rent out. It was also went on display at the Motorcyclist Show in Sweden in 2011.
After four years on display, the Ice Hotel Sweden decided it was finally time to defrost the bike and moved it outside to melt. Earlier this month the team at Stonetown Custom in Sweden took delivery of the bike, fired her up for the first time and made a video of it.
