You know the guy. You're filling up the Max at a gas station and "he" comes over to tell you about the one he used to have. Or maybe "he" had a brother's cousin's nephew that almost killed himself on one.
I couldn't help it though. It was the first time I came across one of us at a gas station. A real life Vmax rider that I could actually talk to. I've never seen one in the wild before.
So I strolled over and looked it over. Anniversary edition. Sparkling clean. Kerker can, no fan switch, stock bars (I think). The guy was a big burley SOB. He seemed to be an alright guy. (how could he not be, he was riding a Max).
After talking for a short bit, we both had to split.
He left the station ahead of me, Hit the freeway entrance, and began to merge with my pickup in tow.
I heard it gain a few RPM's with that nice Kerker, and he swapped to the hammer lane.
I heard it hit 6grand and off he went.
Now, he probably thought I was a poser. Hell, he's probably never seen a Vmax guy in the wild either, but we had one thing in common for a few milliseconds. I know that feeling well, and even driving behind a max I knew when it opened.
My smile was just as big as his.
