Any UK members using this forum?

Hi guys (and girls)
I'm brand new to the forum.
I bought my 1st Max back in 89. It was a Canadian with only about 1000kms on it.
Any way I got back into Vmaxing a few years ago and have a couple of beauts, including a chain driven 88.
I have been using face ache Vmax groups, but totally bored with them.

I presume that a high percentage of you members are in the US.

Respect to you all

Welcome Mr. Miyagi. Yes, we have a pretty decent representation from the UK. I’m sure that contingent will sound off shortly.

Me too Buddy, I live in South Norfolk with my '97 Canadian Vmax and currently fitting a chair with a 9 gallon barrel behind the seat, 'cos when I ride I don't wanna stop. I fitted a set of forwards from the States and a sidecar brake for the extra weight. I don't wanna shoot off to the right when I use just the normal brakes therefore the sidecar brake. Has anyone had any luck fitting a Kliktronic shifter? Broke my back in 08 and I don't have normal mobility ( 6 vertebrae wired together). I'd be grateful for any help or advice about the Kliktronic. Ride safe and fly the Vmax flag!

Hi Jasper
Can't see it being a problem to fit. But I haven't even seen this kit before.
Have you seen the Pingle kit?
Are you able to (physically) work on the bike yourself?
Also I've never even thought of fitting a chair to a bike.
If I can help I would be happy too.

Any of you guys thinking of going to Baskers if we're allowed too?
