    Speedo Dead?

    I was driving home from Stuttgart on Saturday when my speedometer needle started jumping around and finally just stayed on zero. I knew it had to be wrong since I was sure to be travelling about 80MPH according to my GPS and things were whizzing by. I have checked the cable and it seems to be...

    A day without rain!

    Finally had a day without rain. I was able to get out and ride for a few hours. It was not particularly warm, only about 55 degrees. My knees are still feeling it. I guess all of those years in the Infantry are finally catching up to me. Seemed that everyone else around here had the same idea...

    Joke - Home Depot

    Andy was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Bev to Home Depot. At Home Depot, Bev saw a beautiful Bathroom faucet while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer. When Walt was finished, Bev asked 'How much for that faucet?'...

    Exhaust work

    All, Thanks to the European Union the US military in Europe, through which my Max is registered, has adopted E/ECE Regulation 41 Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Motorcycles with regard to Noise. Typical to the military they have taken what they want out of it and ignore the...

    My Frame Story

    I did not see a section for Frames, so I am submitting this to the Suspension category. Some of you may remember that last year my riding season came to an abrupt end. This came about because I discovered what I thought was a crack on my frame. I tried my best to describe what I thought was...

    Cracked Welds

    While doing some maintenance on my Max last night, I noticed that something that is really concerning me. On the frame front down tube on the left side there is a triangle plate. One side of this plate is for a motor mount and the other side has 2 bolts into the frame. The mounting holes for the...

    Winter Projects

    I am making up a list of winter V-Max related projects. Foremost I want to Powder Coat the Frame. I found a place here that will do it for about $35.00 but I have to do all of the prep work. Sandblasting the will be the quickest to strip the old paint. Is there anything that I need to look...
