An old riding buddy of mine (Eli "Fungas" Fengas, An Israeli motorcycle journalist) Got back recently from Valencia Spain testing the new Aprilia Tuono V4 R. He said it's like they made it specifically for my riding style. The perfect Track machine/hooligan-bike combination with some...

A buddy of mine won a charity auction last fall to go to Whiteman Air Force base to be a "fighter pilot for a day." He took 7 of us along and we got to go in the A-10 Warthog flight simulator for 1/2 hour each. There were two simulators so we were able to dogfight each other as well as do...

When I bought this 85 I swore I was going to keep it stock! Then I ran across some fzr1000 6 pot calipers on ebay for $75, and all the parts to upgrade to a set of 03 black forks just seemed to come along. Then I found the top steering bearing was rusted and off came the triple trees and what...

Well since it had warmed up a bit around here and i have had cabin fever since my thumb accident, i decided since my thumb is healing a little bit and didnt hurt to bad, i was going to go ahead and try to do some wrenching on the max today. I got the new drag bars installed (thanks PATMAX), I...

So my brother and I vowed to own something like this someday. Minus the millions of dollars worth of cars... lol This guy opens his garage up every year to help an organization and this year was no different. I took my new Nikon D3100 and took some pictures. Forgive me, I'm still learning...

Got new tyres today, went with a metzeler me880 rear and a lazertec front. Had arguments with the tyre dealer when they fitted a 100/90/15 front when i payed for a 110. Anyways long story short was told was a story of tough luck. has anyone had any troubles with the narrow front? Rode about a...

I always like being a little different so I ordered a SST shift light today for my 2004 Max. The lights are made in the USA,and supposedly have a lifetime warranty. They look allot like a Raptor light but use a digital readout on the side instead of pin switches. They come in black and silver...

Well my 2004 finally shook the bars hard enough to get my attention today on the way home from work. It happened as I changed lanes and encountered an uneven section between the two lanes at about 65 mph. Luckily a hand full of throttle lightened the front end enough to regain composure. I have...

Well i was cutting some wood on the table saw today to make some shelves for our bathroom. i got done cutting and shut the saw off but didnt wait until the blade quit turning before i reach for the piece i had just cut. i dont know where my head was, or what the hell i was thinking... i spent...

I had a kill today. . . not on my V-Max . . .not on my Warrior . . . but in my 08 SRT8 JEEP. I was at a light and a Harley Davidson V-Rod " Muscle" pulled next to me. I bleeped the throttle to get his attention and when the light turned green away we went. First gear he was right next to me...

I recieved my electrical package from Sean today but now I have to resolve my starter issue before I can even begin to start swapping out the electrical parts. But once I get a working starter does anyone want to put together a list of what order to start swapping out the electrical parts? Any...

Stopped to fill up today, got a half mile down the road and it acted funny, a mile down the road and it's dead. It will run with the choke on full, but won't accept throttle at all. It's been running great, I ran a full tank through it just yesterday and had run 40 miles already today. Where do...

Kyle, his wife and I went for a 100 mile or so today. good ride! Dave, sorry you could not make it! Just ready for the temps to get in the 70's though.......:eusa_dance:

Finally have the max back running like it should. Took a ride through the sedona mountains on the 89-A up to flagstaff and had a few. It felt so good to ride again. It would have not been possible without this site and all the great information I had read on this forum. I wish I had found it...
