Painted frame and engine, looks nice but I will never do it again. Replaced carb and V-boost boots. Fixed oil pump "O" ring problem. All new engine gaskets and O rings. Starter clutch fixed, starter cleaned out. Carb's rebuilt. New throttle cables. Cleaned Fuel pump, filter and tank. Stretched...

Few of us thought it would be cool to start a Thread were you post pics of your Road Scenery on your rides. Ill start it with a crappy pic of myself and three of my good riding buddies, stopped at the river for a smoke. Ill post some better road views on the next ride.

I just happened across a book I picked up a while ago, shortly after I got into riding. It's this big, fat volume called "Life is a Road: Volume One", which is actually four books in one. It's in essence a collection of short-to-medium length motorcycle adventure stories, with one of the four...

ive got a 97 max...all stock aside from slip ons... local forum (mostly sport bike riders) is trying to get me to sign up for a track day next year to run with them lol....they said if i remove my mirrors and tape up my lights i should be allowed to run...i think this sounds like a bad idea on a...

Ok, I know its not the right tool for the job. But my KTM tires are shot. And so are my VMax tires. I have my last Track day for 2009 in two weeks. I hate to have to buy a rear for my KTM, and then put it away. So I am considering Control riding my VMax instead. I usually work with the...

Decided to go for a ride around the lake today . Left home it was fine blue sky and no wind then half an hour into my ride it was blowing like **** i was having trouble keeping the max upright as there was strong wind gusts , now at this point i was thinking of turning back but deciding that it...

I've had my 98 max for about three months now and its been parked for about a month due to a problem with it. The bike only has 9k miles on . My problem is it will start fine in neautral but dies when put in gear If I am able to drive it then it stalls everytime I stop. There is too much...

Went on a trip through the Oregon cascades and high desert this weekend. Three days of camping and 32 oz. of beef steak at the Cowboy Dinner Tree restaurant in the middle of no where. I'm seriously ready to go again.

Had a BEAUTIFUL ride today... 300+ miles from Salt Lake City to St. George, Utah. Stopped to capture the scenery... The countryside was nice too... :rofl_200:

So after Miller Motorsport was useless in getting me my volunteer info for the World Super Bike Championship. I had 4 days off and nowhere to go. So the lady and I went to Jackson Hole and partied with my friends up there in the Tetons. First Road Trip of 2009 Jackson Hole, Wyoming top...

Watched enough videos to get the camera bug and try it myself.Not something I'd do every day but I thought it was kinda cool,my daughters really got a kick out of it.I used wire ties on my digital camera to the top of my case guard.I was a little bored,later...

I rode with gbrown in the black hills today. I had 88 octane fuel in my 09 and George had 93 octane in his 09. We made two roll on pulls on about a 4% uphill grade from 3000 rpms one in 4th gear and one in fith gear. The bike with 88 octane pulled ahead both times. Rider weight is...

Saw a Gen II last week heading west on College Park Drive in The Woodlands just north of Houston. It went whizzing by me while I was in my hybrid so there was absolutely no chance of catching it. Didn't see it coming, but caught a glimpse of the unmistakable scoops and titanium exhausts. My...

Has anyone ever seen a Vmax done up Rat style? Or road warrior style? I like the 80's look of the bike. But I also like the look of bare bones. Nothing except for the essentials. Any pics or links to projects like that?

Here is a list I cut from a local county flyer. Midnight Bugs taste best! Maintenance is as much an art as it is science. Bikes dont leak oil, they mark there territory. A bike on the road is worth two in the shed. THe best alarm clock is the sunlight on chrome! If you ride like ther is no...

From what I gather here's where I'm at right now. Head to Seans place in Kansas, pick up his trailer and bikes......:rocket bike: I'd be leaving Houston Thursday morning 7-17 I can make Sean's in one day, prolly crash there and then on to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, to...

All, I am calling upon the collective knowledge here to find out some road information if possible. A few of us here in Canada, less Tyler unfortunately, are looking at going into Va to do some riding in August. We are in the planning stages and looking at different routes we can take...

I was talking with some friends, ok it was more like bench racing, but chit chat all the same. The topic of music came up, and what song goes through your head while riding, seasons or whatever. I link mellow jazz when I'm on a nice slow ride. Cruise nights when I still had the Tbird it was...
