    Cruising Pegs

    These folding pegs came from a bargain bin at a Hardley dealership. The frame mounts were cut and drilled from a piece of stainless sheet by a friend (Thanks Billy!) They are nice for laid back riding. They fold up at the touch of a toe for the twistier stuff too!

    VMOA - Why?

    Why not? Everyone has the option to join or not to join. I personally look forward to each issue of the V-Boost. And, I too have made many very close friends via the VMOA. When the club was in it's infancy, it was much easier to keep in touch and organize get togethers. There was also the...

    Hurricane Ike aftermath....

    I live west of Houston and missed the worst of it. However, I work on the west side (Katy) and am temporarily unemployed as our shop has no electricity. One of our buildings also lost the roof! Ike sure had a big punch for only being a Cat 2!

    The new Suzuki B-King... Thoughts?

    With the exception of the stock cans, I like this bike. They've set the bar pretty high for Yamaha. It will be a tough call when it comes time to put my money down. I may do like Buster and get a Busa or ZX-14 and keep my old max for riding naked! Side note: Yesterday, after 3 months on...

    Tank bags for the Max?

    New tank bag The old POS from JC Whitney finally gave it up. I'm in the market for a new one. Being lazy, I prefer the magnetic mount style. The old one had a tendency to lift at speed and had to be backed up with a bungie for anything over 70 mph. Can anyone recommend a decent mag bag that...

    California Pay

    From the brief job description you gave, it's obvious you're not flipping burgers and wearing a paper hat. If you're only making 10.50 after 2 years, and exposing yourselt to potential litigation, it's time to update the ol' resume.

    The Best Plugs & Wires?

    Your local Yam dealer could set you up. You'll pay premium $$ though. If you're a VMOA member, they have some discount OEM parts houses that give good discounts. They also have a buy / sell / swap board. Check their site. www.v-max.com I got a late model used set for Ol' Crusty from Furbur...

    My old Hindle 4-1 sounds pretty good. I stopped by the Ol' Man's place when he got his new Mark's pipes a couple years ago. They sound even better!
