36 years later

[VMax1992]

My VMax journey started in 1985 when I purchased my first rocket ship. Life happened and I had to sell it but it never left my DNA. 37 years later I'm back in the saddle again. I now have a 1992 which is the spitting image of my 1985. It came to me in showroom condition. Life is good.View attachment 20221001_185840.jpg

Here you go. A well-kept bike. I have one of the same year I bought from the Ft. Lauderdale dealer 29 years ago. The color is my favorite.

The former owner had that sticker on it. At the time of the photo, the bike had been off the trailer for only a couple of minutes. A minute later the sticker was gone.

That's funny. I know someone who had a fj1200. With 1 bullet hole in tail light. And 1 in rear fender.small caliber but a few inches higher.(money shot)

Be aggressive on the highway here in south Florida, and you don't have to look for a decal of one, you can earn your own! A guy in a car saw his 'rival' riding by his car on a scooter, so he unloaded his semi-automatic pistol at the scooter-rider, killing him. In a trial, he was found 'not guilty.' Crazy! Take a look at the video. The shooter lost a FL 'Stand Your Ground' move to dismiss the case and it went to trial.

Hello Fire-medic,
Thank's.
What's that on your Vmax? A big fuel filte?

It's a WOLO 'Big Boy' horn, a copy of the Stebel Nautilus horn. A fairly-loud airhorn mounted on an aluminum bracket I fabricated. The resonator chamber and the electric compressor are capable of being separated to position components as one prefers, if a more stealthy appearance is desired.
