New V-Max guy here

[Tyroma]

Hello All!

I'm new to the V-Max Universe, and I'm happy to be here!
I live in SW Ontario.

I have an affinity for Iconic and unusual motorcycles and cars.
Currently, I have a Harley Pan America, a Ducati Scrambler, a Harley Sportster that I built into a custom vintage dirt-tracker, a 1971 Kawasaki G4TR Trail Boss, a 1973 Chevelle, 1961 US Army M606 Jeep, 1972 Honda CT70, 1950 Ford 8N tractor, 1962 International B414 tractor, and as of last night, a 1999 Yammie V-Max.

I snagged a REALLY clean 1999 Carbon Fiber V-max with 21000km on it.

I have been checking out this forum since I became interested the the V-max, so i figured I'd better sign up. Can't wait to read more, and converse with some of you.

You must-be single! Or have a very-understanding spouse.

That Pan America H-D looks like a good ride.

Here's some info on them I saw recently:

https://www.advrider.com/harley-davidson-pan-america-nabs-super-hooligan-wins/

The Harley-Davidson Pan America adventure bike isn’t just an expensive parking lot decoration for doctors and lawyers and such. It’s perfectly capable of hard use, including racing, and the MoCo has proved this again with a pair of Super Hooligan wins gone to Cody Wyman and Jake Lewis.

Last weekend in Super Hooligan racing action at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, racers on Pan America 1250s took four of six podium positions, including both race wins.

Super Hooligan racing runs alongside the MotoAmerica superbike series. The bikes are race-prepped street models like the Indian FTR naked bike series, or Harley-Davidson’s Pan America adventure bike series. In this case, the riders at Ridge Motorsports Park were on machines built off a Pan America Special.
