Picking up my '95 V-Max this weekend built by my late Uncle who was the brother I never had. PCW bored to 1411 w/ more mods than Rachel Welch. This bike is sharp, looks like it's on steroids, can't wait.
 
Man, with that description, it's gunna be AWESOME! :biglaugh:

Pics or it didn't happen.

Picking it up this weekend
So I am guessing no pics till then

:punk:I am sure if Sean had something to do with it, it will be cool.

Bud sorry to hear about your uncle, happy you got the bike. I know it will not replace him but when you ride you will always have him with you. Cheers man

Thanks a ton man, those are my thoughts exactly. I'll have Jig take a few pics and will post ASAP. My last road bike was a 1100 Midnight Special, he promised this V-Max will make that seem like a Honda 90! Be well!
 
Hey Bud, glad you found this place.

Here are some pics to quell the masses:

when my dad first got the vmax in 1998:

one around 2000 at our annual family vacation in Long Lake, NY taking his younger brother Russ for a ride and we were short a helmet...so I offered up a collander and bungee chord. One of my most prized memories and pictures:

Nice,...real nice! Thanks Jig, I'll be saving most of them to my album,...as soon as my eyes dry......
 
That's a very beautiful bike btw......

Thanks, appreciate it. It was my late Uncle's fixation, he was an engineer who owned some nice muscle cars back in the day and just became interested in bikes. Figured if I can't have him here then the V-Max would be the next best thing! He did an awesome job w/ the mods, Sean Morley had a hand in doing it right. Is it spring yet!!
