In july of 2016 i bought my V Max from 1997, full power version (not that obvious in Europe). In first two weeks I've made: - changed front tire - regeneration of front fork - changed front brake hoses - changed rear brake disk and brake pads - changed rusted bolts - throttle lines - made a lot...

I was at a bike show in Timonium, MD today and came up to the Thunder in the Valley booth, asked a lady there if it was bike specific, she said no. Then I said I saw something about it on the VMAX site. She says "Oh, the VMAXers, they kinda do their own thing". She said 2 years ago it was...

No, nothing about VMaxes. It's a story about Mr. Pavlovski, a resident in a Chicago apartment building. It's told by a fellow who was early in his working years, and an experience he had while working in Chicago. Having been on some incidents similar to this one, it's very plausible. He tells...

One of the most-famous mechanics of NASCAR fame, owner of "the best damn garage in town," if you happen to be in Daytona Beach FL. Smokey Yunick. Sometime around 1994 I had a Plymouth Duster, 340 car. I built a 360 for it. I was @ Los Angeles County Raceway in Littlerock, Ca. LACR is now...

Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. * My eight-year-old grandson asked if he could say grace. * As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would thank you even more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and...

Great fishing story, except this one may be true!!!!* How do you settle a presidential election when the vote is too close to call?* With a fishing contest in northern Wisconsin in January, of course! After the first round of votes were counted, Hillary and Donald were deadlocked...

I've been lurking on this site now for about 6 months. I have a 1995 Vmax with only 9000 miles on the clock and it has been a great source of enjoyment for me. Also have an 1100 Vstar. My distance bike. Anyway back to the story. I'm just buzzing. A while back I was in the position to loan...

I found this short story while reading news this morning and found it uplifting. It illustrates that the state of mind makes the biker, not in bike choice or environment. She captures it quite well in a few simple sentences. I cant get the link in my phone but its on KOTA News entitled...

So last Monday night i'm just sitting around chillin watching TV, and my phone rings it's my Uncle Mike. He's an older Vietnam era veteran served in the Army flying choppers with distinction. I says hey what's up Unc ? He starts telling me about his Goldwing he's been trying to sell cause he's...

A guy walked into a crowded bar, waving his unholstered pistol and yelled, "I have a .45 Colt with an eight shot clip and I want to know who's been sleeping with my wife." A voice from the back of the room called out, "You don't have enough ammo!"

An interesting article on Mike Wolfe of the tv show American Pickers. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/american-picker-dream-part-ii-mike-wolfe-on-old-motorcycles-and-recent-land-rockets/ Some of the bikes he's gotten, I like the six cyl Triumph Salt Flats bike. I also like the early...

I ran across this when looking for "word origins" etymology for something else. No context here, it stands alone and was in a thread about the usage of "****" versus "****-*** -------------------------------------------------- I briefly worked at a sugar refinery in rural Louisiana, all of...

Here's the rest of the pictures not shown on the news. We Know Who's The Boss.:rofl_200:

One day a man decided to retire… He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is...

Oh, look, bikers making a difference. That...can't happen ;-) Excuse me doctor, I have something in my throat... http://distractify.com/people/bikers/

Did you ever own a Pontiac? We did in my family, a Catalina, and I did, a '67 GTO convertible (used). You will be interested to see why Pontiac was killed by GM. Bob Lutz, a highly-place GM executive and a 'car guy' and motorhead if there ever was one, sheds light on why Pontiac ended...

I was at my father-in-law's yesterday doing an emergency plumbing repair on a triplex rental. He is an elderly Cuban, a naturalized citizen, and one of the hardest-working people I know, though now he is retired and infirm. The tenant is a guy from Cuba (this is in Miami, FL) whom I have seen...

My grandpa past away last year. He had such an active life from merchant marine in D day, Army infantry in Korean war, starting and autoparts store in Alden Ny, starting a fire truck dealership, being an active member in Alden fire department for 50+ years, helping my uncle start a large...

So.... Danny built me a set of Venture carbs with the internals from my stock carbs that had been totally gunked up by the PO and apparently also by me (by mistake). I got them back and was super excited to have things running smoothly. I put them on and got terrible mileage. I changed my plugs...
