New member, long-time Vmax rider:

[Upanther]

I'm Scott, and I'm on my 6th (1st generation) Vmax. I started riding my first one about 25 years ago, and haven't found anything I like as much since (although I've had 20 other bikes as well). I live in the Daytona Beach area, and still miss Joe at Boxenstopp.

My bike is mostly stock. I have aftermarket mufflers, and nearly everything is powder-coated matte black. I have a taller fifth gear than stock, so I run lower RPM's on the highway (and theoretically have a top end just short of 180). I also have a back rest with a shelf that perpetually has a bag on it.

Theory is great, but of course the aero drag will stop that. Post some pics so we can see the 'murdered-out' bike.

Here's a pic of Joe's metalflake paint-job.

Joe at Boxenstopp was a great guy. Our VMax gatherings at Bikeweek and Biketoberfest just aren't the same without him.

I know, and I was friends with him personally.
