I got bit by the V-Bug when I was 17 years old. Couldn't afford it back then, but it was the meanest mother in the shop,, and that was a used 87. I told myself back then, that if I ever got the chance, I'd get one. 4 years ago, goofing around on craigslist, I found a guy selling a 91 that was less than 2 miles from the job..
I'm 51 now.. Some dreams just wont leave us alone till they come true.
Good for you !! I'm glad you got what you have wanted for years. There are many Vmax riders in their 50's & 60's as well as the younger riders.
Congrats!
