    Just thought I'd let you know...

    that my T-shirt I ordered just showed up...several months later. I have no idea how or why. Thanks and sorry it got out of hand. All the best, Tom

    Forget it.

    I'm calling AMEX right now since you've pulled this shit you thief.

    Set up

    OK, you'll no doubt delete this and ban me. I've been looking since Sunday night to send a PM, but guess what? I have no buttons anymore to reply to or send a PM. They have all disappeared. I guess since you "warned me" about not asking a question about a shirt sold by this site by the...

    Put yourself on the map...

    Done! And to the lone rider in Moscow, I'll be coming through there in about 8 weeks. Not on my Max, of course, on my way to Nishny. Privyet! Kak du la komrad? Pahka! Tom

    Need new wheels and forks - where to buy?

    I would wait until your warranty expires before I took that plunge. Contrary to popular belief, any addition of non-Yamaha factory parts WILL void your warranty. That's why I'm waiting to do anything to mine as well. Regards, Tom

    Chris and Jeff!

    Doesn't bother me as I can't ride anyway! lol If you don't mind my asking, why is that? Are you hurt? Regards, Tom

    Are there any good/honest dealers out there?

    I would call/email Yamaha and complain. They do listen. After my EXCELLENT experience in getting my '07 Max, I emailed Yamaha corporate about Michael Jiminez and Millenium Cycle Works and told them exactly what I thought of them. How well they had done their job, how professional they...

    What other bikes have you raced against and won?

    learned I can't play with a Blackbird, Busa, and a ZX14 unless I plan to be 4th out of 4 That ZX14 is lights out, isn't it? :biglaugh: Congrats on eating the 350Z up. I had one kind of shoot me a look the other day, but he thought better of it and just slowly pulled off from the light. I...

    New liscense plates coming to a town near you.

    I was thinking that would have to be the case, KJ. I mean really...how many times have we seen a cashier with that same gun have to move that laser all over the bar code in order to read it properly? There's no way you could do that with the bike moving. No way. Regards, Tom

    Graphics

    It's gotta be A. And man, you can really tie that in with the rest of the bike...like maybe part of that beast tail down the back fender, maybe another beast claw up the front fender or on the side panels or even the scoops, etc. That would look DEVASTATING! Regards, Tom

    Little Honda for the little lady...

    It looks like a buddy of mine's old Rebel. If so, if the shifter EVER gets a bit clunky, there's a bearing inside the casing that is pretty historical for failing. It locked his gearbox up when it went. He knew other folks with the same bike with the same problem. (This is about 10 or 12 years...

    What other bikes have you raced against and won?

    Harley Davidson Sportster (not sure what size...it was laughable.) Late model 600RR GSXR 750 (think it was about a 2000 model...not new) Some sort of chopper. I have no idea. It was pretty rediculous. My buddys SV1000S (2006) A late model Vette (Probably around 2003 or 4) A late 60's SS Camaro A...

    When Will I Ever Learn...

    It's stuff like this that makes me REALLY glad that there are so many REALLY knowledgeable guys about this bike. Although mine is new, it's very comforting to know that in the years to come when things do go south that folks that really know what they're doing can help you out. Really cool...

    vmax coat

    It is a cool looking jacket. It would be great to have to wear around after you get off the bike when it's chilly out....or in the winter when you can't ride and go to a bike shop or show or something. Reminds me of my old West McLaren Mercedes jacket and pit crew shirt, only those are real...

    sissy bar

    Now that sounds cool as hell. That might be worth doing for asthetics even if my wife never sits on the bike in her lifetime. (Presently, she wont even set foot into the same side of the garage.) Regards, Tom

    Guests

    The V65 was and is a great bike. If they wanted to go and re-issue a classic with upgrades and make a killing, I'm sure the V65 would be one of the best choices you could make. And that's NOT a bad looking scooter at all, DWB! Regards, Tom

    Thread Hijacking

    I like that plate, Redbone. It reminds me of a T-shirt this buddy of mine Butch had that he wore whenever he rode his Harley. It said, "If you can read this, the bitch fell off." Sick, yes. But funny. Tom

    sissy bar

    That's pretty damn slick. If I can ever talk my wife into going for a ride with me, that's deffinately the way I'll go. Thanks for the tip! Tom

    Kerker Slip-On's?

    I know for a fact the Cobra's are much better looking and sounding, but I also heard that they are so much lower backpressure that the jetting needs to be downsized a bit or the bike runs way too rich. That's what I was told, anyway. Sitting and listening to it, it was really good sounding...

    DIY Paint On The Cheap....

    Many paintshops are able to mix then put simple automotive paint (not the metalflake or other additives) in spray cans for you. The only catch is you have about 3 days to use it. Many of them also carry disposable paint guns. It's quite literally a glass jar with ounce markings (for mixing...
