    Bye for now

    I sold my VMax today. Took it for a last ride to deliver it to its new owner - a nice guy in Albany who last rode a Virago 13 years ago. He lives on a great rode and I am sure that he will enjoy the bike - so the good news is that it's going to a good home and will get used. I ended up...

    The Can Am Spyder buster!

    Just came across this and had to share. I knew there was an outfit doing this for Harley's. Looks like someone decided to do the same to a VMax! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Picked up my FJR Gen1 ABS today

    Hi Guys, So I went and did it. Going to the FJR. I found a 2004 with 6200 miles on it. The PO put on fresh Michelins as part of the deal and I rode it home today. Definitely a nice machine that behaves very differently than the hooligan VMax. What's interesting is that both bikes make 145...

    Looking for tips and ideas on a front fender

    Hi guys, I am following up on my post about my VMax being run over by a 4900 lb ML35 SUV (yes with me on it...). The good news is all is well with me and most of my VMax. Got some insurance money and the mod monkey is securely perched on my back... First thing I need is a front...

    Just got run over by an SUV need advice

    Hi guys, The good news is that I am ok, but my VMax has seen better days. Short story is that I was 1 house from home. I was stopped at a T intersection and saw a Mercedes SUV cut the corner from my right, headed right for me - in my lane. The kid was on a cell phone and ended up riding up...

    Third gear is addicting

    So I'm on my 10th tank of fuel this season so far and I have found a new road to commute to work. 52 miles of back roads, hills, mountain views, passing zones etc. My rides keep getting better and better. Just a ton of fun. Today, my trip home included a few lines of cars that I caught up...

    Trouble with cyl #3

    I have a 50 mile commute to work and ended up taking a new way back that had some hills. With the extra load, I found that the amount of shaking from the bike was not bearable in 5th or 4th gear if the engine was spinning around 4000 rpm and I applied throttle to go faster. When I got home, I...

    Dynabeads first impressions

    So I decided to try Dynabeads after reading up a little bit on the idea. Over this winter, I put new Shinko Tourmaster 230 tires on the bike. 170 in the back, 120 in the front. Initial rides have proven to be very smooth when cruising at speeds up to 100 mph. I haven't gone faster yet...

    COPS first impressions

    I have been looking to replace my original coils since last year when I bought the bike. The main motivation that I had was that the idle would get progressively worse while driving around in town during hot days. Eventually the idle would get so bad that the bike would stall out. I went...

    Good cell phone mount for VMax

    I looked around a little bit toward the end of last year and almost bought a ram mount for my phone. Instead, I ended up buying one of the cheap $5 generic mounts from eBay. Am I nuts?! I figured I would risk the $5 with an old company iPhone 4s that was due to be replaced. To my pleasant...

    Perfect Helmet for a VMax

    Hi guys, I am in the market to replace my HJC full face helmet. Considering the VMax riding position is different than a sport bike, I was wondering who has good experience with various helmets. I have tried on a modular HJC and like the idea of being able to flip the chin bar up for...

    Darkside thread

    Hello all, I have looked at several youtube videos and have done some reading on going to the darkside - and am curious about people's experience in doing this. Going "Darkside" means mounting a car tire on the back of a bike. I realize that this is a polarizing topic, but have yet to...
