What did you do to your Vmax today?

[KJShover]

KJ, the header went out yesterday but the rear downtubes aren't in yet. They will ship asap when they are ready.

Thanks for the update, no worries on the rear downtubes. we are getting snowed on up here, so I don't think I'll be doing any riding for the next 7-8 weeks. :snow: So waiting on them isn't a major deal :biglaugh:

While it probably won't be 8 weeks until I get to ride (I hope :bigeyes: ) we are still sitting on over 4' feet of snow on the ground. I'm hoping for some early April showers to wash all this white stuff away!unk:

I can`t believe it.
THe sun actually came out so I got to run up and down the freeway a little bit before my daughter got out of school> I put about 5 1/2 oz. of sea foam in the tank and man what a difference and how !!! :clapping:

It was pulling kinda slow in higher gears (the previous owner let it sit in his garage for a while) but after just a few runs up and down the freeway I`ve already noticed a big difference in performance.

I`m going to use the whole can (about 3 tank fulls )
I can`t wait to see the final results.
"Get `er done".

[02Moneypit]

Im about to start repairing the moneypit after a long and disappointing attempt to go to daytona bike week.First the weather was shit the entire way,was suppose to go to alabama park the truck and trailer and ride the rest of the way but the weather was horrible,tornado warnings everythere.Then decided to drive the truck and bikes to milton florida,get there and shit weather again.Called bill warner(wild brothers) and asked him if i could park the truck at his place,he said yes then proceded to tampa,got there at 11 at night on saturday 23 degrees,went for a little ride then to the hotel.Woke up to hail the size of marbles on sunday so we packed up the bikes again and left for davenport 1.5 hours from daytona got a hotel and went for a little ride.Woke up to sun but only 4 degrees,waited until it warmed up a little unloaded the bikes and while i was waiting for the bike to warm up the wind or the devil knocked over my bike causing about 2 grand in damage.Packed up and came the fuck home and the repairs are on the way.:confused2::bang head:

Massive Bummer Sheldon...man, talk about a doomed trip! I s'pose the '09's gloating over that.....prolly saying..."man I'm glad he didn't take me down there"!! :biglaugh:

 

[02Moneypit]

no doubt,if it was the 09 i would of sat the bastard on fire and watched it burn.installed new bars today and everything else is on order.:bang head:

 

[Redbone]

That is terrible news Sheldon. Damn, a guy goes to try to thaw out after a long winter, enjoy a little riding in the sun and mother nature chooses to be the ultimate bitch.
Hopefully your bad luck has been used up for the year! Better times are on the way Shel!

 

[02Moneypit]

hope so redbone got to get all the parts in from germany levers and mirrors,and black chrome is being done in ft lauderdale.

 

[maxcruiser]

That's just not right to happen and definitely not deserved, but glad to hear that your quickly getting Moneypit back to it's original and prestine condition.

Wow, Sheldon, that sucks! You leave the shitty winter weather we have here in Ontario just to get the same shit in Florida! And it damages your bike too! :damn angry:

 

[vmax626]

please explain this sea foam to me.

I Had heard about it here on this forum It`s a cleaning agent that you put in your tank (about 5 1/3 oz.) It`s a 16 oz can so, It can be used for three tank fulls but that stuff works wonders for the fuel system.:eusa_dance:
You can get it in an auto parts store (I got mine at Kraegan) It`s a white can and it cost $8.99 but it`s well worth it.

My bike was pulling real slow in higher gears on the fwy and the street (even with the T-Boost on). so I put this stuff in and went back on the fwy. and it cleaned that shit out good but, I`m going to use the whole can and "GET `ER DONE"

[02Moneypit]

INSTALLED NEW BARS LAST NIGHT,WITH A LITTLE RISE INSTEAD OF DRAG STYLE I THINK I WILL LIKE THESE BETTER,AND ORDERED A NEW DIABLO TIRE FOR THE REAR AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.:confused2:

 

[vmax626]

all left side damage,mirror bars lever air box scratched clear stator cover,cracked rear fender scratched new undertail exhaust,all paint was black chrome and cost a fortune.broke custom stand as well.

I am really sorry to hear about all that happened.
I honestly think that if all that had happened to me (the weather) and then my bike getting blown over , I probably would have shit my pants and cried half the way home.
If it wasn`t meant to be I would have rather had the truck break down.
Hope that you get it all fixed up and send us some pics when you do .
Take care, <<Dave>>
