yes I just Love VmaxThat sucks. Would you want to own a Vmax if your country allows it?
On a Vmax with methanol (alcohol) you can eliminate the radiator). Had that on the drag bike as well as pulling tractor.Alcohol as a fuel also makes an engine run cooler that will a gasoline engine. Offenhausers ran on alcohol, they were designed for it. Many years in the post WWII era, entire fields at the Indianapolis 500 were Offenhauser-powered vehicles.
You don't need any money when bikes come for less, than they go. And when you leave 2 bikes parked next to each other, they turn into 3 bikes and so on!!!None , not one bike but praying for a lottery hit or a miracle then I will have my collection !
Love that seca 900. I had one decades ago. Same color scheme. My collection now is a 97’ vmax, 99’ Vulcan nomad, and a 86’ eliminator 600 project for this winter. I find myself looking at bikes for sale way too much.Here’s a few—if you look

Do you have any photos?My last bike was a Valkyrie and i rode Darkside and loved it.
I’ve been trying to pick up a Valkyrie, and customize it. I’ve seen some photos of them, and it’s a 6 CYLINDER!!My last bike was a Valkyrie and i rode Darkside and loved it.
I read a biography on him. kind of a “piece of work”. I’d say a narcissist at heart and needed attention. But hey, people remember him!I did know that he had a rep as a bully. That takes alot from his legacy to me. Still a fan though. I am also a fan of his kid Robbie. He never got the credit he deserved. Always in Evels shadow.
You won’t regret it. It’s a lazy boy on wheels and it PULLLLLLS. It’s a flat 6 boxer engine you can put a nickel on its side in top of the cylinders, turn on the bike and rev the piss out of it and it will stay upright. It’s so smooth and silent too. I had a RIDICULOUS sound system and 6 zones of LED lights on it. I’d get to a light and be like is my bike still running or did my 2 batteries die? Rev the engine NOPE it’s just that smooth. I eventually put straight pipes on it to resolve that problem and make it sound like a muscle bike. I’ll upload some files later when I get back to my computer.I’ve been trying to pick up a Valkyrie, and customize it. I’ve seen some photos of them, and it’s a 6 CYLINDER!!
I will post some later when I get back to my computerDo you have any photos?
Here is Sound system mods. I was rear ended at a red light in miami (not surprises there) and the factory truck was cracked. Insurance settlement replaced it along side a settlement from being sideswiped on 95 in miami (again normal day in life in miami.) I Got an aftermarket Custom box made for sound and had 2x 10" midwoofers, 2x 8" subwoofers (all ground zero brand) a 2nd lithium battery & 1200w amp in that box alone. The factory 3" speakers got upgraded to 5" & added 2x tweeters & a 400w amp up front.I’ve been trying to pick up a Valkyrie, and customize it. I’ve seen some photos of them, and it’s a 6 CYLINDER!!
Car Tire / Straight Pipes & 6 Zones of LED lights Each headlight was its own independent zone then front right & front left & Rear Right & Rear left all independent of each other. I wanted to be seen and heard to stop getting hit so much in south florida. Glad i am no longer in florida period.I’ve been trying to pick up a Valkyrie, and customize it. I’ve seen some photos of them, and it’s a 6 CYLINDER!!
