    I'm about to throw in the towel :(

    There's something about the Yamaha V-Max that people should realize before considering owning one. The V-Max was never meant to be an Interstate Cruiser, it's riding position is not he best, has high rise handlebars that keeps the wind blast right on your chest, the gas tank is too small for...

    I'm about to throw in the towel :(

    Something that has not been mentioned here, and it's very important, is the body weight of the rider. Proof of what I'm saying, is the statement that the wobble goes away when you add a passenger. My friend Sandy spent pornographic amounts of money trying to get rid of the wobble. he even sent...

    Custom Vmaxes to drool over

    Sorry it took so long to reply but, I'm not on the Internet lately, the way I used to do. After I left the VMOA, kinda lost interest on the whole Vmax scene, too many people were taking advantage of the members of the Association that Clint, Don, and I founded, and I couldn't bring myself to be...

    Custom Vmaxes to drool over

    I agree, some of those are totally ridiculous On the other hand, the massive rear, and front tires, may be eye candy, (as long as the road is straight), but be sure you won't see any of those bikes at Deal's Gap, or any other road with tight curves.. I had the chance of riding one of those...

    Motorycle For Sale burgundy 85 needs work

    Many years ago, Dale Walker of the Holeshot Performance shop, was selling a very sturdy lift, made with heavy gauge square tubing. It was very well designed, and the bike was very secure while lifted. But of course, it was way overpriced, like everything else in his shop

    RIP Charlie Watts

    Charlie Watts was a gentleman, he was totally the opposite to the rest of the band, (let's not forget that Bill Wyman was expelled from the band because of his conviction of child abuse and molestation) One of Charlie's best was in 1978 (I think) after a concert in Amsterdam, that Mick and Keith...
