All we or one of God's creatures can ask for is to be treated with respect and love. You provided both of those for this kitty in her final moments on earth. I commend you for doing both in a difficult situation.

I'm glad I took time to read this! You are a credit to our human race. Most people are in such an self-important rush these days...it was refreshing to read your tale. GLB = :thumbs up: :eclipsee_gold_cup: :cheers:

Kaboom...send you an answer to your PM. Redbone...thanks for the thoughts, especially on the diabetes. I am able to control it with just Metformin with most morning readings of 95 to 120, so it is OK for now. But I sure do miss my occasional Snickers bar! :tantrum: Where is Brimley in...

I had a 1990 FJ1200 back in the mid-90s. Great bike to get back into riding again. Good Luck with yours!

Looks like it was a good time was had by all event, and you have a good rep of V-maxi! Its always fun to get to some warm events like this during the winter. I like the third pic of the old biker with cane who looks lost. Probably grumping under his breath about all the rice-grinders at the...

I'm sure I have a long way to go. But I search first and find pertinent info many times before posting a "been asked 69 times before topic". Is there a tag/award for "searching first"? Just KIDDING! I found my tag = :gotsearch:, and hopefully will not get this from long-term members :pullhair:

What does the boostaholic tag stand for (nitros/turbos/superchargers or just V-boost)? Not that I feel the need for all the tags by my name...just interested in the background. :ummm:

I sense a little ground-swell donation drive naturally occuring due to this topic's re-emergence. Hey Buster, do we all get a free 2010 Gen2 VMax with the proceeds? :th_image003: No...:confused2: , well I guess we'll just :rockon00: with our "antiquated" V-Maxxi...Oh the trials and...

I guess I'm middle of the road. Not too bad for home service, but it is early in the morning before all the neighbors get on-line. :bang head:

I'm glad Redbone revived this thread. I know this site is stronger now, but I just donated to make sure it continues to exist. Its the first website I have ever donated to, that should say how much I think this site needs to continue. Thanks to all the current and past posters as the wealth...

I initial thoughts are to retain the Stage7, as when I bought the bike I did not receive the stock air box, etc. I'm somewhat cash-strapped, so I thought I would try and make the Stage7/Marks combo work first. I know...I'm cash-strapped but just bought a complete exhaust system? Sometimes we...

I think Vboost is disconnected as I hear no cycling when turning key on prior to starting. It sounds great at idle, has that sound of a very-well cammed, louder V8 as the slipons have the comp baffles in them. It ran OK while on the low speed circuit, except for the very noticeable...

Thanks for quick response!!! I will be picking up some new exhaust gaskets, as I "plan" on installing it only once. Bike ran OK with one flat spot until past 3/4 throttle. At WOT sometimes it ran OK but more often it just seemed flat and did not pull hard at all. Just checked the weather...

Woo-Hoo :clapping: There's snow on the ground in Chicago, but I am dreaming of warmer weather. Right now this 54yo man feels like a teenager just getting his driver's license! Left a voicemail for Mark this morning and he called me back within an hour. Purchased the $699 special on his new...

Has anyone changed the endcaps from the more standard closed endcaps to one of the optional open endcap designs? Does it change sound? I'd imagine its louder, but more importantly, does it increase/decrease the lower, boomy tones?
