Looks like a fun day guys! Lots of nice bikes and the weather was great! Thanks for posting up the pics and wish I could have gone. What's the story with the young dude holding the foot peg?

We were in a group making a right turn, he got a little wide and hit what I call "The Triangle of Death".....the triangular patch of san and dirt that collects in allot of intersections where you have a dedicated right turn lane beside two forward / thorough lanes, cars usuall don't move through that kind of dead zone so they sit there collecting gravel just waiting for unsuspecting folks on bikes.

He washed out the front end and went down on the right side, thank God it was a low speed get off. He's ok but the peg and the bike took some damage. His fender looked like that when he showed up, if I had spare parts laying around I'd hook him up.

hmmm; Look's like I got an excuse to upgrade the pegs now I guess :biglaugh: i'll give him my OEM ones when I get new ones.

It scared me probably more than him because I saw him go down in my right mirror as I was making the turn.

Damn! Can't believe I missed the ride. I was in my garage putting on my Maxgasser seat. Maybe next time! Looked like you guys had a great time.

Chief Gunner....do you have a flux capacitor on your VMAX? (20011...really)

 

[Chief Gunner]

Nope; No flux capacitor...lol. Just been maintaing the stock apperance, keeping her clean and running as well as I can with limited resources. I think I got her broke in now (27K + on the odo), so I need to get serious about which direction I want to go with her and start the Mod madness all over again

I'm signed up Darren.

Chief good to hear the accident wasn't too bad. We have a place up here called North County Motorcycle Salvage in Escondido that I've got a lot of used parts through the years.Things like foot pegs and what not are a fraction of the dealership cost. I haven't checked for V Max parts yet but since the Gen I has been around so long they should have a few parts. lol! I was just down in your neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago at the Lakeside Rodeo with my family and we had a good time. If that was your 06 I saw in a couple of the pics that thing is clean.

[Chief Gunner]

Thanks Mike; I've had her for a couple of years now. Spent too much $ and time on my other rides modding them out. Now the XR is gone the VMax is gonna get some TLC.

1st on the list is the Barnett clutch, stiffer springs and shocks and brake upgrades (SS braided lines and wave rotors. After that then onto the exhaust and Carb mods

 

[dekberg]

Aaron.....was refering to your name for this thread Spring SOCAL VMAX ride May 1st "20011", guess we rode so fast the ride was 18,000 years in the future. Was good for a laugh.

Check out the post in the SoCal Group about the summer ride....dropped an idea that involves you.

Later, Darren
