I am at this time planning on going up to Daytona On Thursday and staying at the Holiday Travel Park. But there is still a slight chance I will have to go to New Mexico. So I may have to cancel at the last moment

ANOTHER year I won't be going back!! :tantrum:

I know I will be heading up for most of the day on Thursday during bike week. Unfortunately as of right now I will be the only VMAX in that group. I am hoping to be sporting a new tail light and pipes as well at that point.

I will be going one year too Mike. I previously made plans to go with my brother so I'm going to follow through with that.

Picked up a Marks 4:2 in stainless with turn down tips on the end. I'll post pics once they are installed, should be up and running with them on Friday.

I was kicking around getting a pair of stockers that were in good shape, but after hearing everyone's different pipes at tech day a few weeks ago I was sold.

You gonna love the sound of your bike with those pipes on it.

My buddy & I went every year for 17 years, then life got in the way. Last year we went in my truck & still had a blast, stayed w/a friend in Melbourne & commuted TH-SA & returned to So. FL on SU.

I am trying really-hard to go there w/a bike, but I don't want to take my FZR1000 in all the stop & go traffic, and I am trying to get my VMax ready instead. My tentative plan is to "out-noise" the Harleys, as I have a secret weapon from Jon Cornell! All those "rompin'-stompin'" Harleys are gonna be turning green when I pull-up next to them and they hear what I have for them! I am not a fan of loud pipes, but Daytona calls-for a different mindset, at-least for the week.

Definitely grab some video of this! Then they can see what they have been missing between their legs! :rofl_200:

 

[ninjaneer]

ugh ugh ugh. you guys are not making it easy for me to decide against driving maxxy boy up. would love to hear FM and Tex go vroom vroom

 

[Tex85]

I am shooting for Thursday during bike week if that helps you at all Ninjaneer and I'll be stuck with a bunch of guys on Harleys... :bang head:

At least on this outing I will have some pipes worth listening to. I have been tinkering around witch change the cosmetics on the bike as well (nothing permanent at this point since it has all been done with plastidip and various top coat combinations). I think I should just load up some bike pics in photoshop and tinker digitally, it would definitely be more cost and time efficient!

Starting to learn what the mod monkey is all about and it looks like he could soon get out of hand.

 

[spyder13]

Tex & ninja have you guys done any jetting changes

 

[ninjaneer]

sure. stage 7. #150 MJs

Well, I took my bike for a bit of a ride today & it seems to be doing better than it did before I spent my $$ on it, so I am happy.

The likelihood of going to Day-tona is looking better, if I consider being able to use my VMax as a reason to go there. And, the H-D boys are going to be awfully-disappointed when they hear my sonic-salute to Yamaha's engineering wizardry. No potato-potato for this rider!

To take my shake-down run, I went w/a fellow retiree from fire-rescue who is a Harley Big Twin rider, and after we got to my friend Steve's shop in Dania Beach FL, he told me, "I'm not gonna ride w/you any-more that exhaust is too frickin'-loud!":rofl_200::biglaugh::rofl_200::clapping:unk:
If you can make a Harley rider complain about "loud exhausts," you've got to be doing something right. Steve, the shop owner, said,"We heard you leaving the light," which is about a mile from the shop.:biglaugh::clapping:I rode by "Flossie's" which is a local Harley hangout, and I made-sure they knew that a Yamaha was passing, with a RPM salute to the potato-potato munchers, I gave them something-else to chew-upon. :biglaugh:
