today

Took a trip out to freeport on the Max this morning. My good friend Al lives out that way. It's 90 miles west of my house. He owns an 07BMW R1200GS. Last year when I bought my max and it was running like watery dog shit he raced me and beat me by a few lenghts. My bike was missing all...

Out for a fairly long walk today (about 6 mi) here in Plano (Dallas suburb) I kept track of the number of bikes that passed me, and the gear the riders were wearing. (I know, but jeez it's boring...gotta have something to do besides the iPod.) While walking, temps today in Dallas were in the...

gonna pick up my new 07 max toady...:punk: holy shittt am i STOKED!!!:punk:wooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo....... sorry im kinda excited:rofl_200::rofl_200:

Here it is a borrowed idea but, I thought it might be a fun one. My V-MAX couldn`t do nothing for me today because it`s raining:bang head:.

when I went to exchange those crappy 'waterproof' Motoboss gloves today, I was told the Yamaha dealer down the road had an '09 on the showroom floor. Since I had a little time to kill, I took a ride over to check it out. :eusa_dance: It wasn't actually on the floor but in the service...

Putting it together now! Came in with no dents or flaws!! Looking forward to checking it out. I rode one at the Yamaha Show and now mine is finally here!

Oh... the memories.... Windows 3.11 loads in about 2 seconds on this PIII 550. Dug out all the old DOS games, DoomCAD, etc..... trip down memory lane... AND, ...... I can access my thumb drives through DOS also... now that's cool....

rode about 500 miles today, max not real comfotable on long rides,(thankgod for percocet, for my back} this is the longest i had rode on max, previously it was less than 100 miles, any suggestions on comfort, the seat has been scaloped and it has highway pegs

The badass Joe Rocket Carbon Transtone in red to match the ol mad max...here is a pic of the helmet and the bike...

Holy shit I wish all of you guys could have been with me. I can't begin to describe the weather, the road, and the scenery. I went a bout 90 miles, but stopping for the view was to me what riding is all about. well, that and the lil 883 who thought he could hang on the way back to town...

After bitching last week about knowing more information on the new release than dealers I had spoken to, got the call this morning. Drove 45 minutes and was treated to IHOP for breakfast ;) 1 1/2 hours later after tons of questions about what "I" knew on the final product...$5K exchanged...

I was driving home from work in Sanford Florida today around 5:45. At the intersection of Lake Mary Blvd., Hwy 44, and Hwy 415. I caught a glimpse of a VMAx loaded on the back of a flatbed wrecker. It looked like an 06 or 07. The Handle bars looked all bent up and the right scoop looked all...

I took the endcap off and decided to leave it off. I drilled 5 new holes and also enlarged the holes the rivets were in. All holes are now 1/2" and then I taped off the lip to keep it chrome and sprayed it with semi-gloss black ceramic engine paint.

Left with the shakes. They had an '06 ZX-14R there with some goodies on it and nice appearance mods, all black, and chrome wheels there. I was wantin' it bad, but can't afford two bike payments, and was almost sad I told the last guy that called about the 'Max that it wasn't for sale. I need...

I gotta do some clean up work to 'em, but I think they were worth what I paid.

I've been lurking for weeks but finally took the plunge and bought an '05 on E-Bay today. Photos look immaculate and it only has 1200 miles on it...hope it's just as nice whan it gets here! I'm thinking first mods will be seat and exhaust. This site has been a wealth of information so far...

Thought I'd share with ya while I had a second. I had JUST started to fall asleep when at 1:30AM this morning my wife had told me her water broke. We got out stuff together, and got her to the hospital. Sure enough it had, and she's admitted. I just got home now at 4AM to take a shower and...

Well after the dyno and knowing the bike was running right, and such a nice day out today with a friend and I went out for a ride. Since we have an ongoing "we must race eachother with every vehicle we have" thing going on, of course we did. It was about the third pull we had I held first gear...

New to me anyways. My Vmax is giving me grief lately, and I really would rather be riding right now so I bought one of these to get me by. What a difference from the max. Stable as a rock at 130+, feels light ( although it really isn't), no vboost though:bang head: Not quite as powerful...
