    Giving up on Vmax

    LOL - Not trying to sell VRODs as I gave mine up for a VMAX. Just trying to console some frustration from a fellow rider. Been there.

    Giving up on Vmax

    I feel the OP's pain and concern. I bought an older Mercedes (my first and last) that I knew had some issues, but the issues kept coming. After a while I wondered if the issues would just keep coming. I persevered and finally got a nice running and riding car. I have had a VROD and with a Power...

    Are you a new member? Come here and say hi!

    Hello, Newby here. Been riding for over 30 years (66 pretty good years in life so far) and have had over 20 different bikes. Always wanted a Vmax and finally got a 2006 that was cosmetically nice, but mechanically neglected. After a month of adjustments, carb cleaning, retorquing, fluids, tire...
