Thanks for the join. How about one or two of every other kind of bike but not a Vmax… getting kind of old at 81 but still would like to have one!

All it takes is $, or a good bargaining ability with someone who has one, and needs your skills, in a 'parley,' as the pirates call it.

81 is not too old. If you want one, and can still ride, get one. They are an amazing bike.

Be sure and do the VBoost round electrical plug disconnect when the key is turned on and the VBoost stepper motor opens the butterflies. That's when to disconnect the round electrical plug underneath the left scoop, which of course needs to be removed to access that round plug. Then your VMax will idle like a built small-block Chevy, and the H-D guys can't help but to stare and to listen to that bad VMax sound. It's most-impressive I believe, when you don't blip the throttle. Just let the bike idle its way through the crowd of H-D owners. They can't help themselves, and someone is sure to comment on it when you park and dismount.

I’m 82. Do you have any trouble swinging your leg over the saddle to mount VMax?
