My tire life was just fine, but I put new front and back on just because. In back went an Avon AV72 (200-55/r18 as I recall). Monday (while it was 93 out), I picked up a nail and found myself baking by the side of the interstate. Long story short, I call Avon sales and they tell me every...

Tough days. I will NEVER say that my trials are more than anyone else's here. I know some of y'all have endured divorce, loss of job, etc. I heard a preacher once say about someone enduring difficulty, to be careful not to criticize, because one day the Devil might find YOUR address. I've...

A great story about a guy who was successful in the motorcycle industry, as a rider, racer, dealer, and husband/father. https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/armandos-last-ride/content?oid=6393

Hello - I am newbie not only to this forum, but to the VMax. I did some searching within the forum before I posted, but was not able to find exactly want I need to know. I just picked up a 1985 VMAX 1200 which has been sitting in a garage for 3 years without being started or covered...

Thanks to all the posters on this forum, their information, and assorted parts / services for helping me bring my 1993 Vmax back to the road. I bought it new in late 1992 over a satellite relay call from NCTAMS MED Naples, Italy to Ohio. I had it shipped over in my personal goods which consisted...

My father and I have acquired a 1997 VMAX that we were told had an issue with the oil pump or oil pressure. We have begun to dive into inspecting the bike and seeing what is going on with it to determine the best course of action to get it back on the road. According to the seller, the...

I was walking into the work break room. Getting myself a cup of coffee and this commercial came on: http://ispot.tv/a/76PQ I got choked up. Fought back the tears. Because I know Dennis and I know this commercial doesn't even scratch the surface of the struggles this man and his family has gone...

Hi, Everyone. I spent the last 5 years overseas and downrange. My 1992 Vmax spent a great deal of that exposed to the elements in Tennessee. A family member was going to keep it in a garage, but I guess that didn't last long. I have the bike back now. Where do I even begin to restore. It was...

It's a lesson we've all heard a 1,000 times. If life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Or if things don't go according to plan, make the most of the deviation. It was a beautiful day in St. Louis Saturday. I was going to make the most of it and get as much riding as I could after I got a...

After over a year of dwelling over the situation I have made the final decision to give up riding. Alot of different factors have played a major role in guiding me to this decision. I sold my Warrior last year and held on to the Max just incase I decided to keep riding but the time has come...

SOMETHING TO PONDER: George Carlin George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent and so very appropr...iate. An observation by George Carlin: The paradox...

I recently got my first V-Max. An 03 all stock with only 11000KM on it. Bike is like new. I have a pulsing in both the front and rear brakes. Just wondering if the rotors could be already warped? I am the 3rd owner of the bike and both previous owners were 60+ year old riders who never rode the...

Well the NRA decided to bring back the life membership promotion, it is currently active and is rumored to remain a promotion through March 21, 2013. I know there are quite a few gun owners and activists on the forum so I thought I would let everyone know in case you had not heard it from your...

Dunn tire park had open racing last night. Only three bikes came. Me, a zx14, and a gsxr 600 r. Raced the zx14 6 times. won 5 of them. only lost the one because of my mistake. I've heard of eating humble pie, but this guy had a whole bakery full. Every time we went I was waiting for him to blow...

Let me preface this by saying this sight is great and I've found a lot of useful information so far! OK, so here's my situation.... 85 vmax that's been sitting for 8-12 years. The good? It's been garage kept this entire time AND it's free (it was my Dad's, he doesn't ride anymore). I know this...
