No problem at all. GA is a "shall issue" State for CCWs. If there is no legal reason to deny you a license, then the state is required to give you one. Also, many states now recognize each others permit holders while visiting in that state. There are over a dozen that recognize Georgia's & vice...

Thats cool finding a Yamaha dealer that will give test rides. Was it an '06? It is very rare to have a dealer of the "big 4" give test rides of new bikes in Georgia. BMW and Triumph will do so, but not the Japanese brands. It's good that you were able to eliminate the FZ1 with a ride. Buying...

Cool! So have you talked him outta the keys yet? :rofl_200:

I'll give you MY thoughts. I had an '04 Warrior. I rode it for about 1/2 a year. When I sold it, it was to get the V-Max. I'll try to keep this fairly brief, but here are some of my observations: The Warrior looks really sharp. It is one of the best looking V-Twins out IMO. Handling? Good...

Wow! Excellent pics. Looks like a good time was had by all. That blue, custom Max looks too sweet. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I had always heard of the Max. It's reputation and the looks attracted me. Then maybe a year ago, a good friend of mine let me borrow his. He was moving out of state and told me to "take it home for a couple of weeks". I got to ride it for about 3 weeks and put several hundred miles on it. It...

Cool. Glad to see the move. That old Host wasn't the most reliable. This site is growing and getting more active due to your hard work. Thanks Buster!

I have a first for me. My Earthlink ISP toolbar issues a bright yellow warning "This Web page could be a scam. Proceed with caution". It's never done that before. Here, or elsewhere. Dunno why. :a014: No problems loading or viewing (except the warning doesnt go away).

I have a related question. Mine seems to running a bit rich (down low at least). If I add a K&N airfilter would that lean it out a bit or make the richness worse? That seems easier rather than tearing into the carbs. I say it is running rich because a slight smell of the fuel can be detected...

Out standing! Thanks Buster. This group is starting to pick up speed. A new more reliable host will only help that. Carry on sir... :clapping:

I get about 32-35 MPG. Usually closer to 35. That is riding w/ numerous blasts of V-Boost thrown in. Can't say how much I'd get with completely calm and relaxed riding. I don't believe I've ever tried that. Even the very first tank of gas... LOL

Styling is completely subjective. I wont argue w/ you about what YOU like or not style-wise :rofl_200: . I don't know what you think about the Z-Rex? It was one of the best motors I've felt. Unless you are completely turned off by it's looks, I'd at least ride one before you buy. The 12 not the...

Lol... I am pretty short. I have good history with small screens. Looks, first of all. The Small OEM cowl screen is only one I've seen that I would put on my Max. Secondly, the size seems about perfect. I had a Valkyrie with (and without) a small screen very close to the Max one. It took...

The Z1000.... not really a sportbike....but.... I'd ride one first. Maybe you have. A friend of mine has one ( I haven't ridden it BTW), and he is talking of selling it. He says it is pretty anemic at the low/middle range. He came off a Bandit 12. Every person is different. A bike purchase...

The little cowl fairing is gunna be my next purchase for my Max. The case guards was definately worth being first. Mucho more comfy on longer trips. I'm afraid after I get the shield, I wont keep it under the speed limit anymore... :smoke000:

Welcome to the forum Jeff!

Will the Max pull 145 in 4th? I'd tend to say 5th. Doesn't matter. At 25 mph in 4th OR 5th, I'd be reaching for the clutch to click down a couple of gears for grunt . Want grunt? Say BUSA , or if your back doesn't lean anymore like mine, say FJR. I don't mind the numbers at the Crank. Nearly...

Ponies are good!!!

Cool! The SV is an excellent bike. If she is comfortable on it then she will do fine. The SV is entertaining enough that YOU may find yourself sneaking off with it too.

Styling is completely subjective. Flames, huh? Funny. I'm afraid that wouldn't be enough for me. I just don't really like the long, low stretched "Harleyesque", look that cruisers have become. Too much form over function. All that said, I DO understand that a great many in this country disagree...
