She's 23 this year, and I'm looking forward to antique tags in two years.
It's not very often that I hear it, but it does happen every once in a while. Probably twice a year, maybe three.
"What in the fuck is that!?"
It's a Vmax.
unk:
I just got back from buying Sunday beer (blue laws in Arkansas).
During that one stop while riding, I got my quota for the year.
I pulled up at the store, threw the kickstand down, and didn't even get my helmet off, when I heard someone from the other side of the parking lot.
"damn!, What is that?! I've never seen one of those. It looks badass."
I replied "It's a Vmax. It's 23 years old."
He said "It looks fast"
Yup! It's fun. It probably makes more HP than your car.
"Damn!"
you should see the new ones! They put out about 200HP.
A few seconds later, I walked into the store, and the new guy behind the counter said..."I saw you pull up, What in the hell are you riding?"
I went through the same spill.
As I left the store and strapped my beer to the back seat, I hear a voice from the car two parking spots up. A pretty little black gal asked...
What is that? That thing is sweet.
It's a Vmax, wanna ride?
I don't think her boyfriend appreciated it, and I left part of my Metzeler behind just for entertainment purposes.
So the season has just begun and I have already got my limit.
I don't even count the responses that involve "my brother's cousin's mailman used to have one of those, and damn near killed himself".
Those are way too frequent.
I just find it amusing that after 24 years, the Vmax, while being outdated, still brings curiosity, and intrigue.
She's a spectacular steed, with way more class and interest than most new bikes.
She made me smile like the first day I brought her home. Version 2.0 be damned.
